Car2go now has a parking facility at Seattle’s Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac) Airport. Starting today Daimler’s Car2go point-to-point car-share vehicles can be parked at or picked up from the airport’s WallyPark facility.

Car2go is the second car-share venture to give members park-and-fly service at Sea-Tac. BMW’s ReachNow added Sea-Tac parking in August at the same WallyPark Premier Garage Car2go is using. ReachNow has 30 allocated spots in the garage for its members.

Car2go started service in Seattle in 2012. The Washington city is the largest of its nine U.S. locations. Car2go service is also available in New York City; Portland, Oregon; Columbus, Ohio; San Diego, California; the Twin Cities in Minnesota; Denver, Colorado; Austin, Texas; and Washington, D.C.

With Car2go, you use the program’s app to locate the nearest car, claim it, and go. You can also reserve a parked car up to 30 minutes in advance. When you park in a designated spot or public parking spot within the “home” area, you just park the vehicle, lock it, and walk away. Members are charged only while driving. For an unspecified, limited time, Car2go charges in Seattle are being reduced to $0.35 per minute (regularly $0.41), $10.00 per hour (regularly $14.99), and $50 per day (regularly $85).

You can park a Car2go vehicle at Sea-Tac in one of 10 designated spots on the entrance level of the WallyPark garage at 18613 International Boulevard. Each designated spot has enough space for two Car2go cars. If the spaces are full you can park in any unreserved spot.

If you fly into Sea-Tac and want to use a Car2go car, open the app and reserve a car after you land. WallyPark shuttles run every 5 minutes, but be sure to take the one marked “Premier Garage” or “Garage.”

The Sea-Tac Car2go service will usually charge an additional $5 airport fee, but Car2go is waiving the fee through October 15.

If you’re hauling a lot of luggage or traveling with more than one other person, Car2go probably isn’t a great solution. The Smart Fortwo cars used with Car2g0 are small, after all. For one or two people flying in or out of Seattle without many bags, however, Car2go just added another flexible on-demand option.

Mercedes-Benz EQG: range, price, release date, and more
Concept image of the larger electric G-Wagon

The G-Class is going electric. We already knew that Mercedes-Benz was working on an electric, small-size G-Wagon, but it looks like the company is also working on a larger G-Class SUV, in the form of the EQG. In fact, Mercedes has gone as far as to show off a concept version of the off-roader.

While there's much we don't know about what will become the production model of the EQG, Mercedes has also shared a lot about it. Curious about whether the Mercedes-Benz EQG could be the EV for you? Here's everything we know so far.
Design
Fear not -- the EQG will retain many of the design aspects of the G-Class that you already know and love but with a modern face-lift. The EQG will keep the boxy design that gives the G-Class a classic look but with some additional modern styling, at least if the concept version is anything to go by.

Rivian R2 vs. Kia EV9: battle of affordable electric SUVs
Kia EV9 GT-Line Three Quarters

The long-awaited Rivian R2 has finally been announced, and it's an excellent option for those who want an electric SUV that doesn't completely break the bank. Sure, the R2 isn't cheap -- but it's a whole lot cheaper than most other EVs out there, especially when it comes to SUVs. But Rivian isn't the only company trying to tackle the problem of the budget electric SUV. The Kia EV9 is finally available, and it too offers a modern design and a range of helpful features.

Given the fact that the Rivian R2 and Kia EV9 are two electric SUVs in a similar price range, you might be wondering which is better for your needs. That's why we put the Rivian R2 and the Kia EV9 head-to-head.
Design
Both the Rivian R2 and the Kia EV9 are actual SUVs -- not crossovers pretending to be SUVs, like plenty of other EVs out there. The two vehicles offer big, boxy designs and plenty of interior space, making them excellent options for families or those who need that extra storage.

Rivian R2 vs R1S: How will Rivian’s cheaper SUV compare?
The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.
