Soon you might be able to get your Tesla washed eco-friendly style while you charge it

Eco Green Auto Clean - How to wash your car with less than a cup of water - Waterless Car Wash
“Would you like a wash with your charge?” That question may become the eco-friendly, electric car equivalent of “Do you want fries with that?”  or “Paper or plastic?” Environmentally friendly mobile car wash service Eco Green Auto Clean is currently in a pilot program for Tesla employees at Tesla’s Fremont, California factory Supercharger site. If the pilot works out, Tesla may introduce the service at Supercharger stations, according to Electrek.

Eco Green Auto Clean has two business profit centers. The first is all about cleaning products. The company produces a line of biodegradable car cleaning products and accessories which it sells via an online store. The company sells business kits including supplies to clean 400 cars and a week’s training in California for people who want to set up their own eco-friendly mobile car detailing service.  The other side of the business entails contracted mobile cleaning services on site for companies — at Google, for example.

Eco Green Auto Clean’s slogan, “one cup one car,” hits home in California because of the state’s ongoing drought. The company claims it uses a little less than one cup of water to clean a car. The cleaning process consists of spraying car surfaces inside and outside with the company’s cleaners, which it says are “designed to lift and dissolve dirt on contact.” After spraying, each surface is wiped with microfiber towels.

If Tesla does rollout Eco Green Auto Clean at Supercharger stations, which it will likely do close to home in California first in expanded trials, speculation is the service will be available by subscription. The possible cost, estimated by Electrek, not Tesla, is $80 a month for the Model S and coming Model 3 and $90 a month for Model X SUVs. The subscription would cover two handwashings a month.

If you’re going to stop at a Supercharger to top off your Tesla’s battery and leave it for a bit while it charges, why not have it cleaned at the same time, especially if the cleaning process is as environmentally friendly as your car?

Mercedes-Benz G580 first drive: old-school off-roader goes electric
2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

American car buyers mostly know Mercedes-Benz as a luxury brand. But for decades, the automaker has also produced the tough, rugged G-Class (also known as the Geländewagen or G-Wagen), an SUV not afraid to get its leather upholstery muddy. And now, this iconic Mercedes is going electric.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology — the final name of the SUV previously known as the EQG — isn’t the first electric off-roader. The Rivian R1S and R1T and GMC Hummer EV have proven that electric powertrains and off-roading are a great combination. But the electric G-Wagen is different because it’s based on an internal-combustion model — and a very traditional one at that.

Honda believes hydrogen semi trucks will make the case for fuel cells
Honda hydrogen fuel-cell semi truck.

Honda remains committed to hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, but the market for those vehicles remains limited. So Honda is looking at other uses for fuel cells -- including commercial trucks.

To show how that could work, Honda converted a semi truck to fuel-cell power, replacing its diesel engine with three fuel-cell modules. Together, the three modules produce a combined 321 horsepower, and can propel the truck to a top speed of 70 mph. There's enough onboard hydrogen storage capacity for a 400-mile range with a full load, Honda claims.

Mercedes-Benz G580 vs Rivian R2: Is the much cheaper Rivian actually better?
2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

Mercedes-Benz has finally taken the wraps off of the new "Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology." Yeah, it's a mouthful, but it's basically a new electric G-Wagon. It looks a lot like the G-Wagon you know and love, but with an electric powertrain and a battery. It's not the only electric SUV out there, however, and there are some great ones -- like the Rivian R2.

Both the Mercedes G580 and the Rivian R2 have a lot going for them, but they also approach the electric SUV slightly differently. Is one better than the other? I put the two head-to-head to find out.

The approach that the two vehicles take to design is quite different -- and you might like one better than the other.
