Nine days in the Austrian Alps from Munich to Salzburg, Zell am See, and Heiligenblut. The 48 km Grossglockner High Alpine Road is a full day with Edelweissspitze and Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe — glacier, toll, hairpins — not a transit hop. The church spire at Heiligenblut is the postcard you already knew.
The first “expensive” electric car in my hands! Is the refreshed Kia EV6 truly a direct competitor to the Tesla Model Y, as many people believe? I tested the GT-Line version (325 HP, 84 kWh battery) with an 800V architecture. Read my review to find out how this car performs on the road, how much luggage it can hold, and whether it’s a good choice for a family.
You’re choosing your first electric car, carefully reviewing published catalogs, visiting online forums, and suddenly realize there’s a chaos of information surrounding one particular model. Depending on the source, the same car with the same battery might have an advertised range of 400 km, 480 km, or even 550 km. Where do these differences come from? Are manufacturers deliberately distorting the truth, […]…
V2L, V2H, and V2G technologies show that electric vehicles are no longer just means of transportation but increasingly become mobile energy storage units. V2L allows devices to be powered directly from the car, V2H enables support for home electrical systems, while V2G opens the way for interaction with the power grid and providing so-called flexibility services. In the Polish market by March 2026[…]…
How is it to drive the electric Polestar 2, whose name comes from combining the phrases “pole position” and “star of racing”? I tested it while driving from near Amsterdam to Wrocław (over 1000 km in just over 10 hours – video link below). Performance, handling, and equipment: Well, the car is very good, both in terms of handling and road holding, even […]…
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[…]…
You’re faced with choosing a new car with plug-in capabilities, but confused by the jargon of BEV, PHEV, and EREV? We’ve examined which of these technologies will actually reduce your fuel costs without any subsidies, and which is just an eco-friendly trap that drains your wallet. Find out what’s most cost-effective to own in a Polish garage in 2026. For many drivers, electric mobility[…]…
Eight days from Menton to Hyeres: corniches, Eze, Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez. Tesla and Electra are dense; the problem is traffic not range. Stay off the Basse Corniche at rush hour.
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.
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 Kia EV4 is the brand’s new vehicle designed to replace the Ceed in the market, a model that for many years served as the driving force behind the manufacturer’s popularity of cars in Europe. Of course, no one expects the EV4 to surpass its predecessor in popularity at this stage — after all, the EV market is growing at its own pace — but its[…]…
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. Conditions in Yakeshi were extreme — thermometers showed temperatures ranging from -10 to as low as -25 […]…
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.
