Plus, the evolution of car headlights
By Consumer Reports
Main theme: This week, we share the results of Consumer Reports’ electric vehicle range test. Find out which vehicles have the longest all-electric driving range, how CR’s 70-mph highway-range test differs from EPA range testing, and what happens when you completely deplete an EV battery while driving.
Audience question: A viewer asks about the evolution of vehicle headlights.
“Talking Cars” panelists (from left): Alex Knizek, Mike Crossen, and Avri Wyshogrod.
