Can A Lithium Battery Destroy Your Alternator? - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We can answer our own premise for this story very easily. Yes, a lithium-ion battery can destroy your alternator. However, "can" and "will" aren't the same thing, so let's unpack some other questions — like how and why this energy storage brick might fry your alternator in the first place. First, let's set the playing field. There are pros to lithium batteries, and some RVers and boaters want to have a lithium battery in addition to, or in place of, a lead-acid one because they work great for po
Consumer Reports Says EV Premiums Are Falling (But Energy Costs Are The Real Story) - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Consumer Reports recently reported that the price difference between buying an EV and buying a car that runs on gas is shrinking, citing Cox Automotive's latest data, which shows that the average price for a new electric vehicle was $54,813 in August. That's down 1.2% versus August 2025, and 2.7% year over year. However, according to the site, the premium — the extra dough you pay to go electric versus gas — is now 9.4%, down from more than 16% last August. This is in addition to EVs saving owne
Why Motorcycles With Single-Cylinder Engines Are Called 'Thumpers' (It's Not Because Of Bambi) - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You can be forgiven if you have no clue what or who the Thumper character was from the original "Bambi" Disney film from 1942. TLDR: Thumper was a bunny rabbit and Bambi's pal. The thumpers in question for this story, however, are single-cylinder motorcycles. That vernacular is based on the term's onomatopoeic quality. Just saying thump-thump-thump echoes the noise that a single-cylinder engine makes. The bikes are often beloved for that sound — although some dislike single cylinders for that sa
Here's How Much A 2021 Chevy Silverado Has Depreciated In 5 Years - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Chevy Silverado is one of the best-selling vehicles in the nation. However, the perennial leader in full-sized trucks and all vehicle sales — save for those moments when an unassuming crossover threatens to take out its knees — is of course Ford's F-Series. In recent years, the Silverado has trailed the F-Series by at least 100,000 trucks per year — last year Chevy was off by nearly a quarter million trucks in the full-sized category. Merely Silverado and F-Series combined for 1.4 million tr
This IIHS Top Safety Pick Winner May Also Cost The Most To Insure - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Let's start by separating the what from the why. The top safety pick in question is the Tesla Model 3. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has a tiered system for rating the safety of a car. The Top Safety Pick+ is its highest score. Top Safety Pick isn't actually "top" — that's what the plus (+) sign is reserved for. In 2025, the Model 3 earned a Top Safety Pick score; but in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023, the Model 3 sat supreme as a Top Safety Pick+ awardee. In 2025, it fell off th
