Thanks to a new release from BMW, it appears that the remedy might arrive sooner than anticipated. Why Redwood Materials and BMW's collaboration is revolutionary for EV sustainability In a news release, BMW of North America announced their relationship with Redwood Materials to recycle lithium-ion batteries from its electric, plug-in hybrid-electric, and mild hybrid BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce, and BMW Motorrad vehicles. BMW's almost 700 dealerships, distribution centers, and other facilities will remove used batteries from cars with Redwood Materials' assistance, recover minerals like nickel, cobalt, lithium, and copper, and then reintegrate most of the batteries back into the battery supply chain. Redwood Materials states that compared to other businesses, its r...

Charging adapters are free for owners of Kia EVs.   Following its statement in October 2023 that it will implement North American Charging Standard charge ports across its electric car fleet, Kia has now provided additional information on the logistics of adapters for owners of its EV6, EV9, and Niro EVs. The important news is that if you recently purchased or plan to purchase one, you will receive a free NACS adapter. The NACS charging port and companion plug were developed by Tesla (though its legal name is SAE J3400), but its widespread acceptance by the car industry over the last two years has been nearly complete thanks to Tesla's decision to open up its Supercharger network. Vehicles with existing Combined Charging System connectors can now use Tesla chargers. This is how it works for Kia: Customers who order a new 2024 or 2025 EV9 or 2024 EV6 after September 4 will receive a complimentary adapter from the brand, granting access to over 16,500 NACS DC fast chargers. The adapt...

  The transformation of the 2025 Corvette ZR1 from supercar to hyper car The 2025 Corvette ZR1 has shifted the balance, putting it in the realm of hyper cars. It's 1953, and significant things are about to happen that will change the course of history. Stalin has passed away, the Korean War has concluded, and the first ascent of Mount Everest has occurred. However, this is a very different kind of incident that went unreported and ultimately changed the auto industry as we know it.   Chevrolet unveiled the Corvette, the archetypal American sports vehicle, in the middle of 1953. Seventy years later, the 'Vette continues to draw attention and create a sensation. However, the first generation Corvettes were much weaker than the current type. The Corvette of today competes not only with the most potent sports cars available it mops the floor with most of them as it ascends from its rightfully earned supercar status into vaunted hypercar godhood. From the initial V8-powered ...

Porsche Carrera GT to a Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 User experience For a number of years now, owning a Porsche Carrera GT has been almost exclusively on my list of dreams. For the first time in a long time, this year seemed to be the year when everything would come together. After that, the Carrera GT turned into a sailboat, lockdowns were implemented, social separation became fashionable in 2020, and Covid-19 struck. Despite my best efforts, a Carrera GT was never able to equal a sailboat in terms of social distancing abilities, especially the Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 that we recently purchased. There was a little detour on the route that took us to the Beneteau Oceanis 51.1. Since we thought motorboats would be considerably easier to pilot, that's where we first started looking at them. Based on my experiences sailing as a young adult, I assumed at the time that two of us trying to sail a large yacht would be a surefire formula for disaster—and possibly a divorce. The predominant recolle...

  The 2023 BMW M4 CSL is so amazing that it nearly made me pass out I said to myself, "I wonder how mad they'd be if I let it out and completely ruined this Alcantara." I had just completed an incredibly quick run on Palm Springs' Pines to Palms Scenic Byway while operating the 2023 BMW M4 CSL , and I was beginning to feel out of breath and a little queasy. Pure adrenaline was what was making me sick, not the motion. You've probably heard the expression "happy tears." This would have been a "happy vomit," then. To put myself in the category of masochist, though, the M4 CSL is the kind of car I dream about. 2023 BMW M4 CSL Review Specs Base price (as tested):  $140,895 ($145,395) Powertrain:  3.0-liter twin-turbo straight-six | 8-speed automatic | rear-wheel drive Horsepower:  543 @ 6,250 rpm Torque:  479 lb-ft @ 2,750 to 5,950 rpm Curb weight:  3,640 pounds Seating capacity:  2 0-60 mph:  3.6 seconds Top speed:  191 mph Cargo volume:  12...

Lamborghini Huracan review The replacement for the Gallardo, which has sold over 14,000 units since 2003 and is Lamborghini's most successful vehicle ever. This presents a suitably challenging task for the Huracan, which Lamborghini has decided to take on by going against the grain and choosing the safe route. The Huracan is not a revolutionary redesign of the contemporary supercar. For example, hybrid systems are not present here. What is actually present is familiarity. Even though it has been modified, the 5.2-liter V10 engine is still primarily mounted in the center of the vehicle and powers all four wheels. Unless you get the most recent rear-drive exclusively entry-level LP580-2 variant. A completely redesigned chassis that is 50% stiffer than the Gallardo's is equipped with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Is that sufficient to propel Lambo's "entry-level" supercar back to the top of the class, surpassing the outstanding McLaren 650S and Ferrari 488? How ...
