This week we start right off in our efforts to deliver a sub 3-hour long and boring video with a look at the Environmental Protection Agency’s October release of their annual TRENDS report, this for 2014 which in true governmental fashion really deals with the world as it is LAST year at the end of […]

Tesla remains an enigma. After announcing he was effectively “open sourcing” his Tesla Model S, apparently Mr. Musk feels it is appropriate to actively “disable” cars that have been wrecked until they can be proven safe, to his satisfaction, by a Tesla inspection. Mr. Peter Rutman, who cachinged out $50,000 for a salvaged Tesla, was

This week’s video is a might portly, at three hours and twelve minutes, after the fashion of the editor and producer. But it covers a bit of ground. Damien, Anne, and the EVTV crew here all seemed to land on the topic of connecting your motor to your transmission this week, with various strategies and

It’s not my fault really. Automotive technology has simply evolved to be more….technical. I guess when we started EVTV I thought we needed to fit into the custom car “guys in garage” motif. After all, we were computer geeks. But I found it interesting in a couple of recent informal surveys of our viewership to

It’s odd to consider my impending retirement from EVTV. I don’t “retire” well. I tried it once, but it was a bit like a pig on roller blades with a 5 iron, wandering from golf course to golf course across the land, clueless and without portfolio. But I have to say that I’m very pleased

I arrived at the shop Friday noon, August 8th all prepped and ready to shoot our weekly show only to find Paulo Almeida and Celso Menaia of Lisbon Portugal, Mark Weisheimer of Ohio and Jason Arnold

This week’s show is again over two and a half hours. On the what to leave in, and what to leave out area I’m developing a really bad habit of leaving it all in. But I like it. What do a Miata in New Zealand and a BMW in Massachusetts and a Cabin Cruiser in
We may have mentioned that the road to EV nirvana worldwide might be a tad longer than the press and His Eminence Herr Musk might lead you to believe. Stay with EVTV. We will get you there. We’ve seen this all before on the Internet rodeo in a past life. And trust me, it’s all

Today the 4th of July falls on our normal shoot day. We’re having a party for the celebration of Independance Day. This is the day we celebrate not being British which then allows us a sense of humor, which we weren’t permitted previously. And so we are no longer dour and puckish. God Save the

It’s been a strange week. Friday is here and we film our video this afternoon. This one includes a major falling on our sword issue over the recently announced project to reverse engineer the Tesla Model S. We’re a bit giddy here at EVTV these days and it mostly revolves around the Generalized Electric Vehicle
