White walkers can't have EVs. Not because they are lifeless zombies who probably can't drive, but because the extreme cold of the north would severely impact the lithium batteries. Also, the region is quite large, so EVs would likely run out of juice before they could cover a good portion of its 1,100-mile length. Scientists in China may have solved both problems with a new lithium battery electrolyte that withstands cold temperatures and could double EV range.

We've seen lots of designs for vertical take-off and landing vehicles over the years, but none are quite as striking as the wings on HopFlyt's Cyclone. The curved wings have their root in a design first introduced in the 1920s but never employed in a commercial vehicle.

Calling the Cyrusher Kommoda 3.0 a "bicycle" almost feels a little dishonest. Sure, it has pedals and technically fits into the ebike category, but when you twist the throttle, the whole experience leans a little more towards an electric moped that just happens to have pedals. The fat Arisun 20x4-inch tires, the 6061 aluminum step-through frame, and the 750-watt rear hub motor with nearly 63 lb-ft (85 Nm) of torque ... yeah, that all supports what I'm trying to illustrate here.

Every time we've come across a vehicle from German tiny EV builder Ari Motors, we can't help but wonder if there's a camper version. For a while, the answer was a straight "No," but this month that all changes as the company releases what it's calling the smallest motorhome in Germany. While the Elektro Frosch and Spacecamper Bike might argue that point, Ari's 458 Pro Campervan is the type of tiny, adorable camping car you usually have to travel to Japan or South Korea to see, only now available in Europe. But there's also a series of major drawbacks lurking within the impossibly cute little e-RV.
