Hey everyone! If you’ve been keeping an eye on the electric vehicle (EV) market, you might have noticed something a bit off lately. While we’ve all been celebrating the growth of EVs, there’s a significant issue bubbling under the surface that could hit us all in the pocket: the Leasing Cost Crisis.
Is there a political divide growing over Tesla? Yes, you read that right. It seems that some people are ditching Tesla, not because they have problems with electric cars or because the cars are not properly developed and built, but because of Elon Musk’s apparent political antics. Should your car choice be dictated by the politics of the company’s founder? Does it make you complicit in supporting a worldview you don’t subscribe to, fearing online trolls calling you out and cancelling you for driving the wrong car?

The Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) mandate is causing ripples across the UK automotive industry. In an exclusive interview, Guy Pigounakis, the Commercial Director of MG UK, shares crucial insights into how this legislation impacts manufacturers, dealerships, and consumers.
Is the electric car revolution stalling? It’s a question on many minds as we see a surprising trend emerging: nearly 50% of EV owners in the US and Australia are considering switching back to petrol cars having owned and run an EV. 🚗💥
In a shocking turn of events, today’s global software outage has wreaked havoc across multiple industries, causing absolute chaos and pandemonium. This incident, triggered by a faulty update from CrowdStrike, has left countless systems inoperable, grounded flights, disrupted banking services, and even affected healthcare operations. But as we grapple with the immediate fallout, a pressing question arises: could such a catastrophe also strike our cars?
Right, so you might remember that I made a couple of videos in the last few months about how the next generation, younger people, are not getting into motoring as much as our generation did. And I’ve been quite fair in saying that, considering the cost and everything involved in the process, it does make perfect sense. But hold on, because there’s some new evidence that’s just come to light, thanks to Auto Trader, that might make me rethink that stance. Either I jumped to that conclusion too quickly, or maybe things are changing.
It has begun! Barely five days after the new Labour government took power, we’re already seeing the early signs of what many, including myself, have been warning about for years. The dreaded pay-per-mile road user charging system is no longer a distant threat but a looming reality. This development isn’t just a hypothesis from a fictional narrative in my book The ULEZ Files (which predicts PPM implementation in London in the year 2026) but this is a tangible shift happening right now – potentially turning my fiction into our fact!
Ford, the very company that phased out the likes of the Fiesta and Focus, is now making headlines with a bold announcement – it wants people to fall in love with small cars again. As such, there is a sub-$30,000 electric vehicle in Ford’s pipeline, set to hit the market by 2027.
A video caught my eye the other day: “Why Everyone is Quitting BIG Automotive YouTube Channels (Donut, Hoonigan, CarThrottle)” from AutoTea Channel. Turns out that fledgling channel (fast-growing though – with just five videos it already has over a million views and nearly 10k subs), belongs to Tiernan, who himself was part of the team that grew Donut Media, and indeed has now left.
This past week saw the reveal of three sensational new cars: the Aston Martin Valiant, the Bentley Continental GT, and the BMW M5. These are not just any cars – we’re talking about the pinnacle of automotive engineering, boasting incredible power, luxury, and performance.
