When EVs Die in the Wild (And Trust Us They Will)
The range anxiety didn’t start until I pulled up to the charging station. I had made it to the bank of hoses with about 15 miles to spare, but three of the six units weren’t working and a Nissan Leaf owner at the fourth slot was on the phone with the station’s customer service, looking far from cheerful. With my two small kids in the back, I dipped a credit card and pulled it out sopping wet — no dice. My mind frantically calculated contingencies like a Garmin on the fritz until I updated an app and was able to pay through the iPhone. With the hum of electrons zipping through the chord, my heartbeat returned to steady-state. Crisis averted.
2022 Subaru WRX
Subaru's redesigned 2022 WRX follows the successful original recipe of a sport compact sedan fitted with a punchy, turbocharged flat-four engine that powers all four wheels. The outgoing generation lasted longer than usual — from 2014 to 2021 — and was sorely in need of an update. This new WRX is wonderful news for its existing, and potentially new, fanbase. It faces off against primarily front-wheel-drive competition, including Hyundai's new Veloster N and the redesigned 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI, but could be compared to the all-wheel-drive Golf R and turbocharged Mazda 3 as well.
