| VW, BMW, and ChargePoint to String EV Chargers Along the Coasts |
Jan 22nd, 2015 |

Jan 22nd, 2015 |
|
I always wait until late in the model year to buy a car, when the dealers are beginning to think about dumping their stock to get ready for the new models. So having had for five years a Toyota Prius, which would remain my wife’s car, I was ready to get a stick shift again. […]

Cadillac’s full-size, rear-drive CT6 luxury sedan is coming—soon—which means the PR onslaught has only just begun. Case in point: a separate announcement today about the sedan’s manufacturing processes, which include the use of LASERS (but no sharks).
