When Ridley Bikes first introduced its Noah model two decades ago, it was a statement piece. Now the model is getting its most modern touch yet with a deceptively quiet twist: an electric drive unit that turns it into the E-Noah.

Tesla has updated its online configurator with a new solar panel heavily emphasizing its US manufacturing at Gigafactory New York. It’s a surprising new product launch for a business that Tesla has seemingly been dismantling for the last two years.

It’s not a Hyundai, BMW, or Rimac, but it uses components from all three. Ceer is a new EV brand, and its first vehicle was just spotted out in public with a design that’s… unique, to say the least.

A lot of mainstream auto media coverage right now is pushing the idea that some EVs are “dying.” What we’re really seeing is a wave of end-of-cycle, first-generation vehicles making way for their next-gen replacements. Historically, that’s when buyers get the best deals – so if that’s what you’re after, these are the EVs you should be looking at right now.

As long as range anxiety is still a thing, you could make the case that manufacturers posting huge range numbers between stops is only making it worse, convincing hesitant, late-adopters that range is the only stat that matters.

Take it from someone with nearly fifteen years in the business who has written up literally thousands of new car deals. If you drive lots of miles, if you like to keep your car for years and years, and if you hate making payments: leasing is almost always your best option.
