As the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran continues, the price of oil and commodities around the world are increasingly unstable. And that's leading more people to consider an electric vehicle for the first time.
So today, we're asking a very simple question: who has asked you recently about going electric? And what kind of questions are they asking?
Stay safe, stay engaged. Please watch our livestream from January.

In "Privacy’s Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance," Cindy (@EFForg) weaves her own personal story with her role as a leading legal voice representing the rights and interests of technology users, innovators, whistleblowers, and researchers during the Crypto Wars of the 1990s, battles over NSA’s dragnet internet spying revealed in the 2000s, and the fight against FBI gag orders.

The garden wake-up is now in full swing - and even the peas and beans did finally germinate! And because of all that nice sunshine, Nikki's lawn is in need of its first cut of the season. While not all the lawn got cut, she really did have to get the mower out for the front.
Now, if only she could find lawn-alternatives that aren't going to impact potential sales if things go... south.

The Ford F-150 Lightning BEV may no longer be in production, but when it launched back in 2022, one of its killer features was its ability to provide backup power to your home using a dedicated charging station paired with a Delta inverter system.

The Ford F-150 Lightning BEV may no longer be in production, but when it launched back in 2022, one of its killer features was its ability to provide backup power to your home using a dedicated charging station paired with a Delta inverter system.
While the inverter has proven very reliable, the Ford Charge Station Pro — as you all know — has been nothing but a headache. And, despite replacing the motherboard on her most recent unit in October, Nikki's system is yet again broken. And because she followed Ford's advice, it also no longer pairs with her truck to provide backup power.
Not only is she frustrated — but she's frankly wondering when Ford will give every F-150 Lightning owner who paid for the Home Integration System a refund.
Love the truck — for truck stuff. Love the idea of being able to back up her home — and when it works, it's great. But fit for purpose isn't something this Siemens-made (and Ford-badged) unit is capable of meeting.
Today, Nikki gives an update on what's been happening, how Ford flew someone out to diagnose the problem (and has committed to sending a new unit out... again) — and gives an update on her customization plans for the truck (which are proceeding nicely!)

05:19 - Love the truck, hate the FCSP!

If you're an EV driver right now, you're probably watching the situation in the Middle East with a mixture of dread and quiet relief. The war between the U.S., backed by Israel, and Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz — through which a quarter of the world's seaborne oil passes — and fuel prices are heading somewhere uncomfortable for anyone still at the pump.

This video is for you — and for the friends, family members, and random strangers who've started asking whether they should make the switch. We cover the real numbers, the common myths, and the honest caveats. As always.
We made two versions — this one, with the full editorial commentary intact, and a cleaner cut for newcomers. You might want to share that one instead if the people you're helping aren't quite ready for Nikki's usual level of snark — or her political opinions about the current state of the world.

The war between the US, backed by Israel, and Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz — through which a quarter of the world's seaborne oil passes — and fuel prices are climbing to levels that are genuinely painful for a lot of households.
If you've been thinking about making the switch to an electric vehicle, or someone you know has been asking you about it, this video is a straightforward guide to help you figure out whether it makes sense for you — without the jargon, without the lecture, and without the politics.
We cover the real numbers on range, battery life, charging, and cost — plus the common myths that tend to put people off, and the honest caveats you actually need to know.
