Automakers Don't Want To Support Older EVs — Time To Roll Your Sleeves Up*

✇PeerTube.TV
By: Transport Evolved Main

In some countries — okay, mostly the US — automakers are looking less and less interested in selling and maintaining EVs. And their dealerships? They're more interested in selling you another V8 they can make money on than an EV that'll cost you less through lower maintenance costs.

As parts become more scarce for certain EVs — like early first-generation Chevrolet Bolt EVs — there's certainly a need for owners to roll their sleeves up and get involved in their own vehicle's upkeep (that is, unless they happen to have a friendly, knowledgeable independent garage nearby). But even when you do have to take your EV to a dealer, knowing some of the common faults, problems, and quirks can save you a massive headache and maybe a large repair bill.

So today, Nikki's doing some basic maintenance on her wife's Bolt EV — as well as a more in-depth software upgrade on her Comma AI pedal interceptor — all while discussing some of the ways you can keep your EV on the road for less, gain important knowledge, and save on big bills.

⏱️ Chapter Breakdown:

00:00 - Introduction
03:30 - Welcome outside
04:18 - Where this Bolt currently sits
05:48 - Dealerships don't want to work on cars this old...
07:50 - Vi's latest woes
09:21 - Know what the reservoirs do and why
10:30 - Things you CAN fix and replace yourself
18:31 - Yeah, Nikki has a lot of little jobs to do...
19:10 - Buy an OBD II dongle!
21:33 - Programming the Comma pedal
26:40 - You don't necessarily need dealerships
27:49 - Thanks and goodbye!

Commuting Is Getting Expensive. Here's What You Need To Know About E-Bikes

✇PeerTube.TV
By: Transport Evolved Main

As the war in Iran continues — and with the ceasefire looking increasingly fragile — fuel prices are squeezing commuters who don't already drive an EV. And while some countries have a ready answer in affordable public transit and walkable cities, many places — particularly outside major US metros — simply don't.

So: electric bikes. Cheaper than an EV, increasingly practical, and genuinely transformative for the right commute. In this video, we cover the basics of how e-bikes work, what the legal landscape looks like in the US and Europe, what to watch out for when buying, and how to stay safe on the road.

Transport Evolved Sunday Musing: Do Tow Truck Drivers Get EVs?

✇PeerTube.TV
By: Transport Evolved Take 2

Nobody likes it when their chosen form of transportation breaks down - and regardless of how it's powered, the risk it might need a tow is still there.

So today, after reading some pretty horrifying accounts recently of tow truck drivers failing to properly tow EVs and plug-ins, Nikki has a question for you: have you encountered a tow truck driver who didn't understand how to tow an EV? Or perhaps you've encountered one that was an amazing expat?

Either way, share your stories below!

Stay safe, stay engaged. Please watch our livestream from January.
