With the pandemic ebbing, high fuel prices are a timely substitute disincentive for an environmentally damaging and mostly unnecessary practice of 21st Century humans: commuting.

The North American SUV of the Year is the Ford Bronco #NACTOY

The North American Truck of the Year is the Ford Maverick #NACTOY

The 2022 North American Car of the Year is the Honda Civic #NACTOY

[Joe Wiesenfelder @JoeAtCarsdotcom]

SUVs are the mystery. The Ford Bronco is so much an SUV, it has throwback mpg. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the opposite, barely an SUV. Will they cancel each other and hand it to the Genesis GV70? The answers in mere minutes...

[Joe Wiesenfelder @JoeAtCarsdotcom]

I've been decent at predicting what our @NACTOY jury would choose, but 2022 is tricky. The Ford Maverick seems a lock for Truck, and the Honda Civic is stellar; only the Lucid Air's current price and our limited exposure stand in its way.

Ooh! I needed something to tweet!

Thanks @JoeAtCarsdotcom for joining us this week. Great EV-ownership information. Also, mystery @IHOP syrup. #CarStuffPodcast https://t.co/XQsT8ohZ3S

@johnvoelcker Is this your tweet or Ann Coulter's?

This projection's remarkably effective. Maybe being close to the pavement and peeking out only when the door's open makes it crisper than the mirror-mounted type. #MitsubushiOutlander @mitsucars

The @DualLiner was worth the wait for @carsdotcom's 2021 @Ford F-150 with Pro Power Onboard.

Do you consider yourself an #ElectricVehicles expert? Put your knowledge to the test by seeing how many of @JoeAtCarsdotcom’s EV terms you know: https://t.co/ZP7pAavlI4 @carsdotcom

@jasonfenske13 The per-attendee cost of my elopement and honeymoon at a Hawaiian Four Seasons definitely beat most traditional weddings, and I know both attendees were worthy and appreciative!

[Jason Racki @JasonRacki]

Thanks for coming on @TheDonlonReport, @JoeAtCarsdotcom to talk #ElectricVehicles. Glad our days of getting #cars stranded on dunes are behind us.

@kwiens We might have more success discouraging (or banning) pointless single-use disposable applications like closures in boxes, portfolios and the like.

From my dusty @Ford files. Hoping the F-150 Lightning makes a bigger...spark.

[Joe Wiesenfelder @JoeAtCarsdotcom]

@Reuters @davidshepardson Two worthy clarifications for anyone who saw the language: Cash rebates rather than tax credits? And is it 500k individual chargers ("outlets" were promised during the campaign) or stations, which could mean many times more?

[Joe Wiesenfelder @JoeAtCarsdotcom]

@jasonfenske13 So true. Working from home used to, well, work. Leave it to everyone else getting involved to screw it up.
