Lil’ Honda, Extra Rivian, and ChEV vs. Ford

Honda's launching sixty "Shogo" mini electric cars for U.S. children's hospitals. Initially designed by volunteer Honda engineers for the Children's Hospital of Orange County, the new Shogo aims to bring joy to patients aged 4-9. Features include a 1-5 mph speed limit, custom license plates, and an IV pole handlebar.


Rivian is poised to surpass EV delivery expectations this quarter suggests Baird analyst Ben Kallo, dubbing Rivian stock a "fresh pick.” Despite a recent 13% stock dip, Kallo remains optimistic, predicting Q3 sales of $1.5B.

Meanwhile, Tesla faces challenges with anticipated lower deliveries and factory downtimes, affecting its stock, which dropped about 11%.

Chevy's Silverado EV, touting a 450-mile range and 10,000 lbs of towing capacity, recently went head-to-head with the iconic Ford F-150 in a gas vs. electric towing showdown by The Fast Lane Truck.

With both towing 6,500-pound trailers, the Silverado's electric might maintain impressive efficiency, leaving it with a 52% charge after 116 miles. Both vehicles' refueling costs hit $98, but the Silverado's home charging cost is a mere fraction at under $20.

The primary challenge? The Silverado EV's need for pull-through chargers.
