  • Not easy to listen to

    Unfortunately the show is not easy to listen to. Really disappointed because the accents and volume is ridiculously unbalanced it’s just painful to keep adjusting the volume up and down.

  • Too political

    I read some of the comments but I guess you don’t. Keep inserting your own politics and ensure you relegate yourself to a smaller audience.

  • Used to be great

    I listen to this podcast every week. You need to tune down the politics. In the last few months this has basically become a political podcast. I get it influences EVs, but it doesn’t need to be 2/3 of the podcast. Please stay away from podcasts and go back to the good old days when this podcast, and better yet when the Inside EVs podcast used to be a five stars.

  • extremely political

    they get entirely too political and have many negative things to say. If I want to hear complaints about the President and no useful information, I can watch CNN or MSNBC. I Was hoping for EV news and discussions not talking points without facts. Dom is the only reasonable person and represents any and all that is good about this podcast.
