Battles heat up in the EV world. In the SUV market, Tesla raises (or perhaps lowers) the bar with a less expensive RWD Model Y, while Honda unveils its competitively equipped Prologue. In the pickup arena, Ford reveals the Flash version of its F-150 Lightning, offering long range with affordable features, while Rivian stuffs a 149 kWh battery in its chassis. And in the tuner world, EV swaps are getting sweeter, as a Tesla-powered Fiero proves.
