Chevrolet Tahoe Most Involved in US Crashes
The Chevrolet Tahoe is the vehicle which is most likely to be involved in a dangerous crash, a new study reveals.
The study, conducted by legal experts Dolman Law, compared the number of models involved in fatal crashes throughout the United States in 2020 with how many of each model was sold from 2005 to 2020 to reveal the number of cars that crashed per million cars sold.
In 2020, drivers crashed while driving a Tahoe 504 times, which results in 311.18 Tahoe crashes per one million sold – the highest ratio in the list. Chevrolet dominated the top 10, as the number two, three and four on the list are also Chevys, respectively Impala, Sierra and Silverado, as well as the Malibu which comes in tenth place.

What Are the Best New and Used Cars for Teens?
May 25, 2022 - Most parents accept the fact that their teen’s car won’t stay in pristine condition for long; this means that a high-priced new car with all the bells and whistles is unlikely to be in the cards for new drivers. Yet safety and reliability should still be top of mind.
Affordable and reliable vehicles are more tricky to come by due to the ongoing inventory shortage driving up the average prices of used cars. To help shoppers of all ages choose a budget-friendly, dependable and safe vehicle, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and Consumer Reports have partnered to identify the best new and used cars for teens in their annual report.
Due to inventory constraints, the list of recommended used vehicles shrinks from 61 models in 2021 to 49 models for 2022, and the list of new vehicles includes 21 models, down from 29 in 2021.
What do Level 1, Level 2 and DC Fast Charging (Level 3) Mean?
May 24, 2022 - With EVs, there are currently three ways to power up your batteries — conveniently called Level 1, Level 2 and DC fast charging (often referred to as "Level 3" or abbreviated as DCFC).
Level 1 is just a fancy way of referring to your standard wall outlet that most household appliances and electronics plug into. In the U.S., they emit 120 volts in alternating current (AC). Almost all electric cars will come with a wall connector cable, often referred to as a mobile charging cable, compatible with wall outlets. This is also known as trickle charging because it takes a while.
Level 2 charging uses 240 volts, either through a hardwired charger or via a 240V outlet that can usually be found in a typical house powering high-energy appliances like a clothes dryer. Level 2 chargers are also the most commonly available chargers found at public charging stations like office buildings and retail locations. All EVs come with Level 2 charging capability.
