The Ford F-150 Lightning has great headlights, but it has no fog lights, and here in the foothills of Oregon's Coast Range, fog is a fact of life for half the year. Back in March, in Part 1, Nikki fitted a Ford headlight switch with front and rea...

Right now, the Volkswagen Group is recalling around 100,000 electric cars worldwide across Volkswagen, Cupra and Audi, all for battery cells that, in rare cases, can overheat and catch fire. And if that sounds familiar, it should: from the Hyundai...

CORRECTION: In this video, Nikki says the 2027 Bolt EV is built at GM's Fairfax plant in Virginia. It's actually built at GM's Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas. Nikki knows this, but had a brain fart. She's sorry! Disclaimer - Transp...

Transport Evolved has always worked hard to make sure that every image, piece of music and video clip in our videos and thumbnails is properly licensed. But in the age of generative AI, that's getting harder. The stock photo, footage and music ser...

In two weeks' time, Americans head to the polls in the 2026 midterms. And this election cycle, no known donor has spent more trying to sway the result than Elon Musk: more than $366 million so far, all of it helping Republicans win. In today's (v...

Nikki's spent the last few weeks fighting off a cold. Now that she's finally feeling better, she's been taking her HMP Lightning MK II, Diànmǔ (电母), out on weekly errands and trips. First, though, Diànmǔ's battery pack had to go to HMP Bikes' San ...

We're no strangers to long-distance EV travel on the channel. Over the past 20 years of EV ownership, we've driven the length and breadth of the UK. We've gone coast-to-coast in the U.S., and sometimes, we've even towed. But one thing we - as man...

Every time Nikki walked up to our F-150 Lightning, the custom board she designed rebooted. She'd accidentally built an antenna - and that wasn't even the whole problem. Project Mellon is a DIY CAN bus gadget that makes our WOLFBOX SmartSlide powe...

Back in 2010, Transport Evolved was a little live panel show recorded every Sunday from a tiny house just north of Bristol in the UK - just Nikki and Mike Boxwell picking through the week's EV news for an hour. In 2013 came TEN - Transport Evolved...

It's been a while since we last talked about EV battery health, and in that time a fair bit has changed. Some of the advice we all used to give has been overtaken by real-world fleet data — and with LFP packs turning up in more and more cars, what...

Back in 2002, Volkswagen unveiled a car that was nothing like anything it had made before. Called the 1-litre car, it promised an ultra-efficient 1 litre per 100 km of fuel consumption, was built with ultra-lightweight materials, and placed the pa...

It's been nearly two weeks since we unveiled project Mellon, Nikki's Lord Of The Rings-inspired custom control board for the WOLFBOX powered tonneau cover. Built around an ESP32-C6, and a custom board built alongside PCBWay, it connects Nikki's...

One of the advantages of modern EVs is remote control over charging — checking state of charge, or starting and stopping a session, from wherever you are. And in some markets, with the right hardware, you can even earn money by letting your local ...

Yesterday, the United Nations Environment Programme confirmed what many climate activists, renewable energy wonks and EV owners feared it would: that we, collectively, have failed to act in a meaningful enough way to prevent global temperature ris...

After spending nearly a decade ramping up toward an all-electric future, automakers around the world - or at least in some markets - are rolling back or even canceling their EV plans, choosing instead to focus on hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and extend...

Last week on the channel, Nikki brought news of how (with some help from F-150 Lightning forum members) she'd been able to gain root access to her Ford Charge Station Pro and fix some of the bugs that had been plaguing its operation, preventing it...

As we head toward Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, we're seeing the start of a really horrific storm season that could set terrifying records. From Hurricanes to tornadoes, floods to wildfires, sometimes the world in which we live can become in...

Hey everybody, happy Sunday! I hope that wherever you are and whatever you are doing, you're safe, you are well, and you are with people you care about who also care for you. I was going to come out and tell you that the air quality here today ...
