Shopping for an EV or Plug-In Hybrid? Here Are the Ones Built in the US

2 weeks ago | wired.com | Aarian Marshall

As the United States’ wild tariff ride enters its second week, it’s still not quite clear how the global realignment of trade policy will affect car prices. What is guaranteed: Things are about to get even more complicated for electrified autos. Many of the most popular battery-electric and plug-in hybrid models are assembled outside of the United States, and so are subject to new 25 percent tariffs as they come over the border.
米国から「手ごろな価格のクルマ」が消える──引き金はトランプ関税

2 weeks ago | wired.jp | Aarian Marshall

まず正直に言おう。米国のクルマは、すでに安くはない。新車の平均価格は約50,000ドル（約750万円）で、インフレ調整後でも20年前に比べて5,000ドル（約73万6,000円）以上値上がりしている。その背景にはさまざまな要因がある。クルマの製造は複雑化し、コストも上昇。新型コロナウイルスのパンデミックは世界的な自動車のサプライチェーンを混乱させた。その結果、デトロイトの大手メーカーは過去10年で利益率が高い（そして需要も大きい）トラックやSUVに注力し、比較的安価な乗用車の製造から手を引いてきた。しかし、トランプ政権が先週課した自動車関税、そして来月にも発動される予定の自動車部品への関税が、米国における手ごろな価格のクルマにとどめを刺す可能性があると専門家は警告する。1台あたり数千ドルの価格上昇が見込まれているのだ。特に打撃を受けるのは、価格に敏感な層の消費者たちだ。価格が少しでも上がれば、古いクルマを買い替える計画を延期せざるを得ない。その余波は中古車市場にも波及し、需要のひっ迫を引き起こす可能性がある。調査会社Cox...

2 weeks ago | wired.com | Aarian Marshall

Let’s be upfront here: US cars haven’t been cheap for a long time. The average price of a new car in the US is close to $50,000, up some $5,000 from two decades ago, even adjusted for inflation.
Doge, altro che trasparenza. I numeri del sono opachi quanto quelli di Tesla

2 weeks ago | wired.it | Aarian Marshall

Elon Musk ha promesso che il lavoro del suo Dipartimento per l'efficienza governativa (Doge) – che secondo indiscrezioni potrebbe presto volgere al termine – sarebbe stato all'insegna della trasparenza. L'amministratore delegato di Tesla e SpaceX ha ripetuto più volte che il sito web dell'ente ne sarebbe stata la prova, grazie a un elenco aggiornato delle sovvenzioni e dei bilanci tagliati che avrebbe fornito un bilancio continuo del suo lavoro.
BYD's 5-Minute EV Charging Sounds Great. But How Useful Is it?

1 month ago | wired.com | Aarian Marshall

When surveys ask potential car buyers why they’re not going electric, the answer is consistent: It’s the charging. Drivers understand gas; plugging in, less so. They’re worried about waiting around for a charger, which, depending on its power, can take anywhere between 20 minutes and eight hours to fill up a battery. So the hubbub around a surprise announcement from Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD makes sense.
