High gasoline prices are hitting wallets again. There’s a cheaper option than buying an electric car.
When fuel prices rise, the same advice often comes up: buy an electric car. The problem is that for many drivers, this is a good solution, but at the wrong time. Because if someone already has a working gasoline car, spending 120,000–180,000 zł on a new electric vehicle is usually not any kind of “solution,” but just another large expense. However, there is a much better solution[…]…

Cold, snow, and the electrician. How to avoid losing signal and your temper when temperatures drop – practical tips
Winter is a trial period for many new electric vehicle drivers, and a moment of triumphant “I told you so!” for skeptics. Switching from diesel or gasoline to electric vehicles in winter requires changing habits. With internal combustion engines, we add winter coolant to the sprinklers, change tires, and fill up with antifreeze fuel. With electric vehicles, there’s nothing like that.
Is your range a lie? We explain what the Tesla screen actually shows
Internet forums and discussion groups are flooded with arguments among electric vehicle owners. One boasts about performance, another complains about battery degradation after a month, and yet another claims that their car “learns” driving habits and thus shows fewer kilometers. These disputes usually stem from one fundamental misunderstanding: most drivers misinterpret the numbers displayed next to the battery icon.

The alphabet of electric mobility. What are the differences between cells in your electric vehicle, and why is it not just lithium?
When buying a gasoline car, few people ever considered the metal content used in casting the engine block. What interested us was the capacity, number of cylinders, and presence of a turbocharger. However, in the world of electric vehicles, we are entering the realm of materials engineering, something the average driver didn’t need to worry about before. Manufacturers juggle battery chemistry, seeking the ideal balance between cost, range, and performance. This is not a situation where[…]…

Winter in Inner Mongolia takes no prisoners. The Chinese website Autohome conducted there the largest electric vehicle test in history. The scale of the initiative was so enormous that it earned the organizers a place in the Guinness Book of Records. As many as 67 cars set out at once for the snow and ice.

How much does it cost to drive 100 km on electricity in 2025? What is the charging cost for electric vehicles? The differences are huge.
The year 2025 brought stability to the fuel and energy market, but electric vehicle drivers experience these changes in two ways. On one hand, home charging remains unbeatably cheap. On the other hand, prices at public chargers are soaring to levels that question the economic viability of electric mobility on long trips. We analyze the costs of driving 100 kilometers, comparing home charging and fast chargers.
