Electric semi truck brand Windrose has developed an all-electric power take-off (PTO) that puts out up to 70 kW of power without burning a drop of diesel – and it could give his big BEV a real market advantage.

US battery storage company NeoVolta Power has locked in five years’ worth of US-made battery cells from Seoul-headquartered SK On to help scale up NeoVolta’s Georgia factory.

New Jersey renters and apartment dwellers will soon be able to lower their electricity bills with solar panels that plug directly into a standard wall outlet – no roof required.

After another record sales month and the launch of its new affordable EV3 electric SUV, Kia is on track for its fourth record-breaking annual sales year in the US.

Tesla’s abrupt decision to kill its Solar Roof has left the third-party contractors who sold and installed the product absorbing the fallout — including some who told Electrek they sank hundreds of thousands of dollars into the program and now have little to show for it.

Tesla stopped supplying the solar tiles in August, notifying its network of certified installers that it would ship only conventional solar panels going forward.

The electric dirt bike/e-moto market has developed a pretty obvious split over the last few years. On one end, there’s a seemingly endless supply of inexpensive no-name machines with questionable components and varying levels of quality. On the other, there are legitimately impressive machines from established brands, but they tend to come with prices to match.

The new Juiced Nomadix R lands somewhere much more interesting in the middle, offering better quality components but at a price that competes well with the budget offerings. After spending several hours riding one off-road, I think Juiced may have just created one of the best performance-per-dollar electric dirt bikes on the market.

A Tesla Model Y turning left at an intersection collided with a pickup truck in Batavia, Illinois, killing a passenger in the Tesla — Maggie Espinosa, 37, a teacher and mother of five. It was reported as an ordinary intersection crash.

But Electrek was able to confirm that Tesla’s own report to federal regulators says the car’s driver-assist system was engaged as it made that turn. This is part of an ongoing Electrek investigation matching reported crashes to Tesla’s redacted NHTSA data.

Tesla has a packed September ahead of it, with two confirmed and one rumored product launches. For a company that has gone so long without new products, it would be a big month… if all three of those products hadn’t been launched years ago already.

Tesla reports its Autopilot and “Full Self-Driving” crashes to the federal government, as it’s required to — and then blacks out almost everything in those reports, so the public never learns what happened in those crashes. Tesla always end up blaming the driver.

We’re matching those redacted reports, one by one, to real fatal crashes that were covered in the news as ordinary accidents. This is a running investigation, and we’ll add each crash we confirm to this page. You can view this as an investigative hub keeping track of our ongoing investigation.

Weeks after a Tesla Model 3 sat stopped in a live Florida interstate lane and its driver was killed, it happened again — a 2020 Model 3, stopped dead on a Phoenix-area freeway at 3 a.m., rear-ended by a pickup, its driver dead at the scene.

And as in the Florida case that we revealed today, no one investigating knew what Tesla’s own data shows: the car’s driver-assist system was engaged.

A 43-year-old man died when his Tesla Model 3, stopped in a live lane of Interstate 4, was rear-ended by a semi. Florida troopers said they couldn’t explain why the car was stopped in the middle of the highway.

Tesla’s own data can explain it, the car’s driver-assist system was engaged, but the company has sealed it.
