Would you pay $142,000 for a three-week world trip in a Range Rover?

The Land Rover Range Rover is famous around the world for combining luxury with off-road prowess. The British car maker is celebrating the launch of the SVAutobiography, the most lavish Range Rover ever built, by organizing an epic road trip that will take wealthy adventurers to eight countries scattered across five continents.

The 21-day trip starts in Nice, France. After visiting nearby Monaco, participants enjoy the scenery as they drive a fully loaded Range Rover SVAutobiography towards Lake Como, Italy. They take a quick stroll through the Alps before flying off to the town of Marrakech in Morocco, where they’ll stay for three days. The African leg of the trip allows the travelers to become familiar with the beautiful Atlas mountains and the arid desert on the outskirts of Ouarzazate.

The next step takes participants to national parks in Utah, Arizona, and Colorado. After three days in the American West, the globetrotters head for the Atacama Desert in Chile, fly over to Sydney, Australia, and, finally, board a plane to Tasmania. On the 22nd day, the participants take one last flight to London, England.

Land Rover has booked some of the world’s nicest — and costliest — hotels and restaurants. The trip isn’t all driving, either, and the car maker has planned a long list of activities all around the world. Travelers can take personalized fragrance-making classes in the hills of Provence, embark on a private cruise over Lake Como, ride a helicopter up to the top of a glacier in the Alps for a quick picnic, hike, bike, and even get a behind-the-scenes tour of the Sydney Opera House.

Unsurprisingly, a luxurious world trip behind the wheel of a Range Rover is eye-wateringly expensive. Prices start at £100,000, a sum that converts to nearly $143,000. Thankfully, participants can work with Abercrombie & Kent, the travel agency that Land Rover has teamed up with, to customize every part of the voyage.

Ford's been teasing a genuinely affordable electric truck for what feels like forever, and after the initial few months, I stopped waiting for it, much less the less-than-$30,000 anticipated price. Turns out Ford didn't just hit that target; it beat it. 

What's even more interesting is that the truck finally has an official name to go with the price.

This makes EVgo one of the first US networks to build Tesla's own charger design onto its stations, following a broader expansion that began with a $1.25 billion federal loan to add 7,500 new charging stalls nationwide.

Europe is reaping the benefits of an open market with a terrific $22K EV, while the US market stays boring 
The new Geely E2 undercuts many rivals while highlighting China's affordable EV momentum.
Transportation, Vehicle, Car

This is not the first time I’ve watched European or Chinese car shoppers, for that matter, get a chance to buy genuinely affordable EVs. Meanwhile, American buyers keep hearing and talking about higher starting prices and fewer features on the entry-level trim. 

Geely’s new compact electric hatchback costs 19,490 EUR in Belgium, or roughly $22,490, and is yet another example of the same. While the entry price is only available for a limited time, I'm talking about the overall package the automaker is offering.
