  • Stop with the EV’s!

    Matt I use to love the show. But now I feel like you and Alistair need a different show called “Matt & Alistair talk EV’s”.

    On your last Model Y episode please go back and listen to how many times you 2 say EV’s, Electric, Range. 50 at least! People that are interested in a car podcast are not interested in EV’s, Electric, or Range one bit. The show sounds like you guys get paid $20 every time you say EV’s.

CarCast+Edmunds - Is now the time to buy a used EV? What’s in store for Ford’s new EV headquarters in Southern California?
Q: What are the challenges around EV range and charging in the near term?
Despite significant range targets, the industry still grapples with battery cost, charging speed, and infrastructure. The panel expects a shift toward 100% charging, with cost and weight optimizations enabling longer-range, more affordable vehicles.
CarCast+Edmunds - Is now the time to buy a used EV? What’s in store for Ford’s new EV headquarters in Southern California?
Q: Why is the Irvine/Long Beach location significant for Ford's EV program?
It's positioned as a semi‑independent, VC‑like unit that can operate with greater agility, leveraging Southern California talent and proximity to an ecosystem of tech and engineering firms.
CarCast+Edmunds - Is now the time to buy a used EV? What’s in store for Ford’s new EV headquarters in Southern California?
Q: What is Ford's strategy for bringing EVs to market more quickly and cost‑effectively?
Ford is emphasizing in‑house development, smaller empowered teams, and a startup mindset to move faster and reduce costs, while maintaining a broad ecosystem of suppliers rather than completely outsourcing everything.
CarCast+Edmunds - Tesla sales pick up and negative equity on car loans continues to increase.
Q: What's your feeling on buying versus leasing used EVs and how the residual values look as the market matures?
Jessica notes that residual values can be favorable for some established brands with strong demand and warranties, but the used EV market heavily depends on battery longevity, warranty coverage, and the evolving incentives; leasing can mitigate residual risk for some buyers.
CarCast+Edmunds - Tesla sales pick up and negative equity on car loans continues to increase.
Q: Jessica, do you want to start with the negative equity analysis and what you're seeing in Q1 numbers?
Jessica explains negative equity involves rolling the remaining loan balance into a new purchase, with a notable share of buyers financing for extended terms, which raises concerns about long-term financial risk and the potential for underwater loans.
