Today, a newly happy Tesla owner, some unhappy good ol' boy drag racers, soaring growth for solar power generation, and a Bolt EV after six months. All this and more on Green Car Reports.

Our Tesla-owning writer David Noland was down in the dumps over Supercharging last week, but now, he writes, happy days are here again. (He can charge his new Tesla for free too.)

Eleven Japanese companies, including Honda, Nissan, and Toyota, have formed a consortium to advance hydrogen fueling infrastructure for zero-emission vehicles.

A few months ago, we covered a California Bolt EV owner's first impressions of the 238-mile electric car. Now we have more impressions after a full six months.
