            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you've owned a car at any point in the last six years, you know the ebb and flow of parts shortages. Starting with COVID-19 — and in some cases the Japan tsunami nearly a decade before that — it's gotten harder and harder to find the right parts to fix your car in a reasonable timeframe. It's tempting to think this is an EV-only problem, but the nuance is different: the parts shortage is industry-wide — EVs are just feeling it the worst. And it's not all down to politics, although politics does play a part.</p>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Disclaimer - Transport Evolved received this product free of charge from WOLFBOX in order to bring you this first-person review. No money exchanged hands for the review itself, and no editorial control was given or implied. WOLFBOX sees this review the same time it goes live.</p>

<p>Modern pickup trucks — regardless of what they're powered by — are much larger than they used to be, a shift that's been well documented across the industry over the past two decades. That added size and height doesn't just affect the driver's experience, either — research has repeatedly linked taller, heavier trucks to increased risk for pedestrians and other road users in a collision. And for the people actually driving them, the added size means they're also further off the ground. While most modern EV pickups today come with some form of fixed running board (or side step) for you to use to get in and out of the cabin more easily, high-end models often come with retractable automatic powered running boards.</p>
<p>On the face of it, it might seem like another expensive component that could easily fail — but for those who live in areas where a pickup truck is more practical everyday country transport rather than trailer queen, retractable side steps can be a bonus in helping you gain extra ground clearance and minimize the chance you'll hit your truck on a wayward tree stump.</p>
<p>So when WOLFBOX invited us to try out its Power Running Boards for the F-150 Lightning, we were eager to give them a go on our crew truck — a 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat.</p>
<p>But in typical Transport Evolved style, while we were eager to try out this add-on, we most certainly didn't want to make any modifications to our stock wiring that couldn't be easily reversed. So we came up with our own, alternative installation procedure.</p>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last year, we got a chance to test the standard all-wheel drive variant of the Volvo EX30 — and while Volvo has now officially canceled the model in the U.S. from this fall, we — as we all too often have — got a chance to get behind the wheel before it was officially removed from dealer forecourts.</p>
<p>And while some of the very same things that made us excited (and frustrated) with the AWD Volvo EX30 remain true for the Cross Country, its more rugged styling, custom suspension, and specially tweaked handling make it a joy on the open road — and incredibly incorrigible on the loose stuff.</p>
<p>Here's what we thought after a week together.</p>

<p>0:00 - Introduction<br />
3:36 - Recap: the EX30 AWD's split personality<br />
4:40 - Cross Country basics: ground clearance &amp; shoes<br />
7:33 - Power &amp; performance specs<br />
9:38 - Charging: CCS, NACS adapter, Level 2<br />
10:41 -  Different reviewers report different vibes<br />
11:55 -  Tesla-style gear selector and semi-autonomous engage<br />
14:20 - The rage begins<br />
16:19 - No HUD, no instrument cluster<br />
16:55 - All-too-easy to speed.<br />
18:11 - Infotainment<br />
19:17 - Mirror adjustment rage<br />
24:28 - Swedish blood, Chinese-made car<br />
26:48 - Frunk &amp; interior storage<br />
27:29 - Long-distance road trip verdict<br />
27:53 - Who this car is actually built for<br />
29:09 - Thanks and Goodbye!</p>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week we were talking about automakers having access to YOUR data — this week, it's about them preventing you from getting it. Two weeks after she put the Open Vehicle Monitoring System into her Wife's Chevrolet Bolt EV as a way to regain data sovereignty and control of their 9-year old EV, Nikki has been hearing more about how automakers are locking down access to not only API systems - but on-board diagnostics for newer models.</p>
<p>Which causes the obvious question to be asked: have automakers gone too far in locking down access to their vehicles, especially EVs?</p>

<p>Stay safe, stay engaged. Please watch our livestream from January.</p>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We've noticed a lot of comments on recent videos in which people have expressed both excitement in seeing us roll up our metaphorical sleeves and build (or modify) things for our fleet of EVs.</p>
<p>We've seen excitement as we've discussed open-source and alternative methods to regain control of our vehicles, charging stations, and data sovereignty.</p>
<p>All of that is great - and it makes us smile every time we read a comment expressing those sentiments. But something we feel less happy with is when people assume they can't learn these skills themselves, that we're clearly trained in an area, or that somehow we've just woken up one day with the skills we have.</p>
<p>That's far from the truth - which is that we're all self-taught. And yes, we screw up. And those screw ups? They make us better.</p>
<p>Today, Nikki talks about some of her recent failures, missteps - and why she thinks it'll lead to a better final outcome.</p>
<p>⏱️ Chapter Breakdown:</p>
<p>00:00 - Introduction<br />
02:38 - It looks good but… it was a mistake.<br />
03:57 - Back to the drawing board<br />
05:27 - Frustrations ahoy<br />
06:16 - Yes, Nikki is self-taught<br />
08:50 - It's never too late to learn<br />
10:53 - Now's the time to enroll in a new course!<br />
13:44 - OVMS? It was misbehaving - Now it's fine.<br />
15:28 - A New Project!<br />
17:00 - The effect of parasocial 'success'<br />
19:36 - If we can do it, so can you!<br />
20:02 - Thanks, and goodbye!</p>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A week after Nikki successfully installed the OVMS (Open Vehicle Monitoring System) equipment in her wife's Bolt EV, she's been giving some serious thought to the thorny topic of data sovereignty and how automakers are increasingly pushing customers to have telematics (and remote monitoring) in their vehicles - telematics systems that they not only control, but have complete control of the data contained in them.</p>
<p>So today, Nikki has a simple question: who should own your EV data - and should automakers be forced to operate opt-in rather than opt-out programs for customer data?</p>

<p>Stay safe, stay engaged. Please watch our livestream from January.</p>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Disclaimer - Transport Evolved received this product free of charge from WOLFBOX in order to bring you this first-person review. No money exchanged hands for the review itself, and no editorial control was given or implied. WOLFBOX sees this review the same time it goes live.</p>

<p>While gasoline pickup trucks have had the lion's share of the 'fun' when it comes to add-on aftermarket accessories, we're seeing more and more companies develop components that fit electric models. And while it's now been discontinued, the Ford F150 Lightning remains one of the easier trucks to retrofit — its bed and BoxLink hardware are shared with its ICE siblings, so most aftermarket gear built for a regular F-150 will fit right on.</p>
<p>For the past two-and-a-half years, we've rocked the Retrax Pro XR tonneau cover — but one feature we've missed is the ability to open and close it from the rear of the truck. So when Wolfbox asked if we'd like to review its newest tonneau cover — a fully-electric, app-capable, remote-controlled single-wall aluminum cover — we said "sure".</p>
<p>But coming from what is, to many, one of the best tonneau covers on the market, how does the Wolfbox actually hold up? Is it easier to install? Is it quieter to operate? And what about that RGB light? The answers aren't all straightforward.</p>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The temperatures have remained uncomfortably high and, save for an extreme night of thunderstorms, we've had very little water. That means the garden is heavily relying on our very basic watering system.</p>
<p>So when Nikki noticed one of the beds seemed unusually dry, it was time to investigate what was going on.</p>

<p>About The Chicken and Garden Updates:<br />
These informal, unscripted vlog-style videos are a chance for the team to share some of the fun things happening in their respective gardens - and are filmed without a teleprompter in a single take.</p>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you've been watching our TEN news roundup show over the past two months, you'll know that one of our sponsor messages has been from the CCAN Action Fund—a fantastic nonprofit fighting for cleaner air and a healthier environment for all. Their annual electric vehicle raffle gives you three chances to win a brand new EV, but what I really wanted to explore is the organization behind it.</p>
<p>CCAN Action Fund is the advocacy arm of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, and they're doing serious work on everything from holding polluters accountable to fighting corporate data center sprawl to pushing offshore wind development. Founder Mike Tidwell has been in climate advocacy for over two decades, and in this conversation, we talk about why their work matters—especially right now.</p>
<p>You can grab a raffle ticket before July 30th at <a href="http://www.evraffle.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.evraffle.org</a>—$200, three winners, and genuinely better odds than Las Vegas. But more importantly, your money supports campaigns that actually make a difference.</p>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OnStar is one of the oldest telematics systems still in use today. It allows owners of GM-brand vehicles — including Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick — the ability to remotely monitor important information about their car. It allows them to activate built-in navigation, activate subscription add-ons, keep track of their vehicle's location in real time, and in the world of EVs, start and stop charging and activate cabin pre-conditioning.</p>
<p>But for owners of older GM-brand vehicles — like early Chevrolet Bolt EVs and Chevrolet Volts — the OnStar systems that came from the factory are showing their age. Their connectivity is becoming spotty and unreliable, and many customers simply give up and cancel their subscription.</p>
<p>Yet thanks to the wonderful community of tinkerers, programmers, and hardware experts working together on the Open Vehicle Monitoring System, you can now add those features back to your Bolt EV without paying a massive monthly fee. GM no longer sees your data — and you regain your own data sovereignty.</p>
<p>Today, Nikki — who used to rely on OVMS V2 hardware in some of her EVs more than a decade ago — gets up to date with OVMS V3 and gives her Bolt EV the features she no longer wants to rely on GM to provide.</p>
<p>⏱️ Chapters:</p>
<p>00:00 - Introduction and Opening Skit<br />
02:01 - History Lesson<br />
04:28 - Why We Had OnStar<br />
06:29 - Side Tracked: Nikki's Home-Made Vise Plate<br />
07:49 - What is OVMS?<br />
09:35 - V2 vs V3 Hardware<br />
12:54 - The Challenges of GM's SWCAN Protocol<br />
19:42 - Provisioning<br />
20:19 - Installing it in the Bolt<br />
21:00 - Routing and Hiding the Hardware<br />
22:06 - MQTT and EMQX<br />
24:41 - Cancelling OnStar<br />
26:11 - Giveaway — #Queenie<br />
27:33 - Thanks and Goodbye!</p>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fiat's tiny electric Topolino is now on sale in both the UK and the US — but would you actually buy one? In this week's Sunday Musing, Nikki digs into the quirky world of quadricycles and low speed EVs, from Europe's "voiture sans permis" rules to America's neighborhood electric vehicle classifications (and why the Topolino isn't even road-legal here yet).</p>
