Hey, media, get it straight: "electrified" is NOT "electric," and the difference matters

OK, reporters of the world, it's time for a little chat.

We know—believe me, we know—that you are cranking out a whole lot of copy, with much less support than you used to have, on far tighter deadlines, to feed a voracious, anonymous online audience whose clicks get you paid.

But it's time to discuss the very, very important difference between two similar words that have gotten you in a world of hurt lately.

Test Drive: 2017 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid Platinum

After not driving a Porsche Cayenne for a couple of years, and being curious about how the second generation is holding up in an increasingly competitive large SUV market, I gave my colleagues at Porsche a call and asked what models they have for test drives.

There is one available, they told me. But it’s the Cayenne S E-Hybrid.

I had to stop and think for a moment. I live in a downtown Toronto condo complex, which means I don’t have access to a charger at home. I wondered: could I really give Porsche’s only EV SUV a fair shake over a full week of driving?
