Assorted Factoids on Various Cars

    fyl

    A lot of interesting things have been happening with regard to EVs. Here are some factoids:

    • Maserati enters the EV space with the Gran Turismo Folgore EV. Three motors. Lots of power. If you want to own something close to a Tesla Model 3 for 5 times the price.
    • Honda has announced its first electric SUV for 2024. As General Motors will build it, it sounds like a Chevy Blazer with different bumpers.
    • Toyoda, President of Toyota motors continues to claim people don't want EVs.
    • People continue to like the Hyundai Ionic 5 but availability continues to drop.
    • BYD has, so far, decided to only sell the Dolphin in China. (Too bad as I would buy one.)
    • On the high quality but really small circuit, the Microlino is pretty interesting. Very small, front open 2-seater. You can see a review by The Fully Charged Show.  Note that the reviewer is 6' 5" tall and he fits. On their web site they say it has "space for two adults and three beer crates". I like their attitude. Check them out at  https://microlino-car.com/en/microlino

    There is more happening but this will give you the flavor of things.
