If you have yet to hear of Italian Electric Motorcycle manufacturer Energica pay attention. They are pushing the envelope in the sector and continually improving the performance of their motorcycles while competitor (*cough* Harley Davidson *cough*) remain stagnant. ...Published on 06-29-2021 11:42 PM
Well, if you wanted to know just how fast you need to be to top a Tesla Model S Plaid in the real world here you are. This is an example running on the dragstrip with 66% battery life and it certainly impresses. ...Published on 06-22-2021 11:31 AM
Porsche's brand image is not one of commuter cars but some of the best driver's cars and sports cars on the planet. The problem with EV's and a sporty image is current battery cell technology and of course the weight of the electric drivetrain. ...Published on 06-18-2021 03:07 PM
This is interesting as MotorTrend is seemingly creating some controversy for views (oh, they would never do that, would they?). Tesla apparently invited MotorTrend to test their Model S Plaid to independently verify the sub-2.0 second 0-60 acceleration claim. ...Published on 06-15-2021 05:51 PM
The GT2 RS really doesn't make sense in this comparison. You being a smart enthusiast that reads this site already knows the GT2 RS is a track car and if you want to do the tired internal combustion versus electric drag race just use the 992 Turbo S against the Taycan. ...Published on 06-13-2021 07:31 PM
7-11 to the EV rescue? It certainly makes a bit of sense with how many 7-11's you see. The convenience store chain will open 500+ EV charging stations at roughly 250 store locations by the end of 2022. ...Published on 06-10-2021 05:14 PM
$130k or so still seems like a bargain for over 1000 horsepower in an EV. When the Tesla Model S Plaid hits the streets it will not only be the most powerful EV sedan for sale but the only production EV offering over 1000 horsepower (other than the upcoming Rivian unicorn). ...Published on 06-08-2021 04:03 PM
Lotus? They are still alive? Frankly, we do not believe anything Lotus says at this point. Lotus made bold claims about a new Esprit that amounted to nothing. Oh, and the Esprit was supposed to show up last year as a hybrid. Nope. ...Published on 06-07-2021 06:32 PM
Tesla tends to make a lot of promises but they often come with delays and even outright cancellations. Well, the range topping Model S Plaid Plus model that was supposed to offer 520 miles of range and 1100 horsepower will not be produced. ...Published on 06-05-2021 06:05 PM
As this video keeps being reposted on the forums BoostAddict will give the video its due on the front page as it involves two of the world's top performance vehicles. We all saw the Rimac EV supercar in action previously against a Porsche Taycan but that was a pre-production model. ...Published on 06-04-2021 02:31 PM
It is going to need 1000 horsepower and 1000 lb-ft of torque. That's right, the upcoming GMC Hummer EV truck is quoted as coming in with a curb weight of 9046 pounds. No, that is not a typo. ...Published on 06-03-2021 02:52 PM
This may be true but a lot is being read into Jay Leno supposedly confirming the run. Apparently at the Famoso drag strip in California the Tesla Model S Plaid set a production and EV 1/4 mile world record with a 9.247 @ 152.16 pass. ...Published on 06-02-2021 01:34 PM
Well, the BMW i push is now gaining real steam. As AddictEV.com is focused on EV Performance we are obviously going to focus on the higher horsepower BMW i offerings here. Those would be the 2022 iX xDrive50 SUV and i4 M50 sedan. ...Published on 06-01-2021 07:35 PM
Welcome to the newest site on the BoostAddict network, AddictEV.com. This is a site dedicated to EV (electric vehicle) performance including forums plus news on tuning, racing, parts, and motorsports coverage. ...Published on 05-20-2021 04:53 PM
For enthusiasts this is disappointing as the marketing team at Ford won out. No doubt some genius raised his hand at a meeting and mentioned the Lightning name would be perfect for an EV Truck because of the electricity connection and received a standing ovation for the basic idea. ...
