EVs Fall Short of EPA Estimates by a Much Larger Margin Than Gas Cars in Our Real-World Highway Testing
Gas-powered cars often match or exceed EPA highway fuel economy numbers. A new paper using data from C/D's highway tests shows EVs are far less likely to do so.
C/D and Motortrend were also both huge shills for Chevrolet when they got the bailout and afterwards. They even omit the F150 in all "best pickup truck" contests. I forget which magazine, but I remember one instance in which the writer said the mustang was better in every category than the camaro, but in the conclusion, the camaro was his pick because it had better brakes....
Notice they also made the Volt sound like the best car ever made for the last few years.
Admittedly the Volt was the right way to do hybrids. Which is I'm sure why it got killed.
