the second time was more ferocious than the first: Audi RS e-tron GT.

Nothing could prepare me for what was to come with the Audi RS e-tron GT... nothing. Readers familiar with this author's virgin EV-experience would know that it was pretty pleasant. However, going into this test drive armed with the knowledge of the Audi RS e-tron GT's on-paper specifications still wasn't sufficient preparation for the truly visceral experience to come.

the VW ID Buzz is a reborn hippie van for the electric age.

The iconic Volkswagen Type 2 Microbus returns as a modern electric MPV and commercial van. It seems like it’s been a lifetime in the making, but the wait is finally over.

Sure, I’ve had an exploratory phase of sorts with plant-based milks (or ‘mylk’). Nonetheless, my tendency to default to creamless, black, and sugarless coffees continues to go strong. If anyone wonders whether that makes me extra bitter on the inside, ...
