Ford’s $19.5 Billion EV Reality Check: What Went Wrong, What’s Changed, and What It Means

This isn’t just a Ford story – it’s the moment the electric car narrative collided head-on with reality.

There are big numbers in the car industry, and then there are numbers that make even hardened executives pause, breathe in sharply, and reach for the nearest spreadsheet. Nineteen point five billion dollars is firmly in the latter category. That is the amount Ford has just written off as it dramatically pulls back from large parts of its electric vehicle strategy, cancelling programmes, binning future models, tearing up battery partnerships and, perhaps most tellingly of all, quietly conceding that the way we were promised the electric future would unfold was always far more fragile than many wanted to admit.

EU Scraps the 2035 Petrol Car Ban – So Where Does That Leave the UK?

BREAKING: This is big news – EU hasn’t just delayed the petrol car brand, it’s scrapped it, but there are conditions…

For years, we were told the end was nigh for petrol and diesel cars in Europe. 2035 was the date. No debate. No flexibility. No alternatives. Except… that’s just changed. Quietly, but significantly, the European Union has performed a major U-turn on its planned ban on new petrol and diesel car sales from 2035. And while some headlines are still framing this as a “delay” or a “watering down”, the reality is far more profound. In practical terms, the 2035 petrol car ban has been scrapped.

And that raises an awkward, unavoidable question for the UK.

2026 MG S6 EV Review: The Big, Calm, Grown-Up MG EV

MG’s new S6 EV arrives as a grown-up, spacious and impressively refined electric SUV that could tempt many families away from the usual big-brand choices

The 2026 MG S6 EV arrives without theatrics, yet the moment you walk around it, sit in it and drive it, you realise MG has shifted up a gear. This is the brand’s new family-sized electric SUV, the one many households have been waiting for. It sits on the same modular platform as the MG S5 EV but stretches everything further. A 77 kWh battery, rear-wheel-drive or dual-motor all-wheel drive, up to 329 miles of official WLTP range, and prices sitting roughly between forty-one and forty-four thousand pounds. MG is not pretending this is “budget” anymore. It is aiming for the mainstream.

2026 Suzuki E Vitara Review – India’s First Global EV Lights Up the UK!

Suzuki’s first electric car isn’t from Japan – it’s from India! The E Vitara blends a Desi heart with Japanese engineering precision, and right now it’s one of the best EV bargains on sale in Britain

Japanese car companies have always been on the leading edge of engineering. Innovating, developing, breaking new ground – surging ahead of the crowd in surprising new ways. And Suzuki’s latest new car… doesn’t conform to any of that. Well, apart from the ‘surprising’ bit.

Because the new E Vitara isn’t truly Japanese at all. It’s more like a takeaway tikka delivered by a samurai. And given how much Brits love a good curry, Suzuki’s first fully electric car – designed and built by Maruti Suzuki in Gujarat, India – rolling off the boats onto our roads at barely believable prices, is surely going to go down a treat. You won’t even need the Alka-Seltzer for this one.

Is the Chancellor About to Scrap the 40-Year Classic Car Exemption?

Are They Coming for Our Classics? – The Chancellor’s Bonkers Plan to Tax Heritage!

Rumour has it the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, is preparing to scrap the 40-year tax exemption for classic cars – and if true, it could be one of the daftest economic moves in decades. Because make no mistake – if this goes ahead, you won’t just be taxing old motors. You’ll be taxing passion, history, and an £18-billion-a-year industry that already contributes around £3 billion in taxes annually to the Treasury.

That’s right. The same government that loves to preach about “protecting heritage” might soon be taxing it to death.

Think you’ve just been caught speeding? Don’t panic – your ticket might not stick. Here are five real-world legal loopholes that UK drivers have used to get fines cancelled… completely legally

Some drivers slam the brakes when they see a speed camera flash. Others lose the will to drive knowing they are done for, and that there’s no reprieve. Or is there? What if I told you that your speeding fine might not be as rock-solid as they want you to believe?

Welcome to the glitch in the matrix – where bureaucracy stumbles, signs disappear, and the law plays catch-up. Yes, there really are loopholes in UK speed trap enforcement – and believe it or not, they’ve worked for plenty of people, including one very famous David Beckham. Let’s break it down – what the law says, what real cases have shown, and how you might be able to challenge that dreaded Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP).

Why ‘BrownCarGuy’?

Why I chose “BrownCarGuy” and how it responds to institutional racism in the automotive media industry

Racism – I tell you what it is, how it’s done and where you can get some. Plus how to install it in your car. Actually none of that is true…. well most of it’s not true. But there will be a bit of race in this discourse, and I don’t mean on the track… or the road for that matter.
