2027 Equinox EV order guide out at gmfleetorderguide.com - J3400/NACS charge port - “Charge Station Communication Equipment” for expanded Plug&Charge access. - Black Sport Package - Bose 8-speaker audio available - “White Sands” paint color

2027 adds a NACS / J3400 port and “Charge Station Communication Equipment” as seen in 2027 Bolt. Sounds like GM is trying to make the most universally-compatible Plug & Charge EVs in the US market with that ( “Energy Pass” branding). Thinking about a 2027 VISTIQ. Need a 3-row with 2nd row...

I personally think it was a big mistake to not just make these Volvos. Much harder to build brand reputation (essentially) from scratch in Polestar vs. taking advantage of an established brand name in Volvo.

More Camaro talk

Auto Forecast Solutions reports the Ford Escape is coming back in 2029 as an EV on this new UEV platform. Built in Louisville.

Walmart making a marketing push with the better charger-focused YouTube channels today. Sounds like they’re not backing down on their plans - quite the opposite it seems. Some comments that caught my ear: - Still shooting for “thousands” of locations with chargers (includes Sam’s Club) -...

I saw a Twitter post suggesting used F-150 Lightning prices have been going up recently. (I’ll look for the post). This past fall I bought a CPO 2025 LYRIQ Sport 3 for $49,995. At that time, the dealer had a few Sport 3 / Luxury 3 trims in the $47k-$49k range. 7 months later the same dealer’s...

Model Year 2027 is NACS. Before that is CCS(1). The best networks (IONNA, Walmart, etc.) will be installing CCS for years, so I wouldn’t be concerned with either. Keep in mind Tesla switched to the CCS communication standard (ISO 15118) around 2020, so from a DC charging standpoint NACS and...

Starts at $58,400 P6 and P10, 10-80% DCFC in 16 minutes. About 1/2 the time of a Tesla Model Y. https://www.volvocars.com/us/media/press-releases/BDD05C75EC286F35/

I shouldn’t even mention the Regen paddle on the GM EVs (and a few others). Another awesome EV thing I’m not sure I’d go without. 😜 When you want even stronger OPB than the Max setting…. I actually like the On/Off version, like my Blazer EV vs. the variable paddle, like my LYRIQ. I thought...

Hmm, good question. Not sure. —————- Walmart has opened 14 sites just in May! 😳 The closest one to me went from nothing to a massive construction site in about 2 days. I bet the charging equipment will be in place any day now - a week or so after construction started. They’re really ramping...

I run my Cadillac LYRIQ on High Regen and I’d generally agree. If I come off the accelerator quickly - like in a panic - it starts slowing instantly and noticeably. I love One Pedal Driving, another thing that makes driving EVs so great vs. ICE.

BMW EVs now get 20% off at IONNA. So generally 31¢/kWh nationally. Plug & Charge is active for BMW (and I assume most all IONNA members).

ID.BUZZ is back for MY2027 in the USA! NACS port, new software, new trims, colors and wheels. Adds One-Pedal-Driving. “Camping fans can now rejoice as Volkswagen is now bringing the Tourer 4Motion trim stateside. This model will get a bunch of features straight out of the factory, including...

Yeah, I’m sure you’re right - there’s probably been many changes since these original plans from 2024/2025. I love my LYRIQ as-is, but 400kW & sub 20 minute 10-80% DCFC sure would be a nice bonus 🤞
