4.3 out of 5 stars from 324 ratings
  • Great show, one request

    Really like this one. Timely reviews of the latest and greatest news in EV world, delivered in language that’s accessible and even-handed. One request—when you’re reviewing EV sales figures for any period, it would be better if you also briefly walked through overall car sales figures (and even better if you broke that down by comparable classes of vehicles). Helps to better determine if Americans were/weren’t buying new EVs during a certain period or if they just were/weren’t buying new cars g... more

  • C’mon guys

    I know you know that the rest of the world has moved on without us with regard to EV tech. And your focus on the debacle that is the US market is unavoidable. But your timidity in the face of these twin truths makes your podcast pretty weak sauce. Most recently you gave an extended defense of your coverage of Tesla, and it did sound quite defensive. If ever a company was objectively doomed, it is this one. They cannot compete with the Chinese makers and their stock valuation is based on a cult o... more

  • Good podcast but need to focus more on products rather than your political feelings

    I enjoy listening to your podcast—always engaging and informative. However, I felt that the comments about Elon Musk weren’t necessary and gave the impression of bias, rather than focusing on facts and balanced opinions - just wanted to share this feedback for consideration.

  • No Political agendas

    Guys! Guys! Guys! Stop with the political put downs. There are 2 parties in this country one is not all good and one is not all bad. Just stick to Cars. That being said I think that if the tax credit goes away that Tesla will be the first company to lower the prices voluntarily 3500-7500. Elon himself said Tesla doesn’t need the tax credit to sell cars.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tesla Roadster Is Actually Coming? + NYC’s Massive Curbside Charging Plan
Q: What do you think Ford's strategy should be for selling the Fathom electric pickup given dealer network dynamics?
The hosts suggest potential shifts toward direct-to-consumer or dealer-agnostic sales models, noting that franchise laws complicate wholesale changes, but emphasize that strong product-market fit and a clear pricing strategy could still drive dealer cooperation.
Can The Electric Jeep Recon Beat The Wrangler? + Ford’s Fight With The Trump Administration
Q: What are the biggest challenges facing the Jeep Recon as an off-road EV?
The hosts point to a combination of limited range (around 222 miles EPA), weight from 33-inch tires, aerodynamics, and calibration issues at low speeds, which dampen the vehicle's appeal for hardcore off-roaders and practical daily use alike.
Telo’s Tiny Truck Has 350 Miles Of Range. But Can The Company Go The Distance?
Q: How does the MT1 manage charging and battery performance given urban charging realities and the need for long-range capability?
The truck uses a high-energy battery pack designed to fit within a small footprint, with an 800-volt system and 400-volt compatibility to maximize charging speed and everyday usability, along with thermal management to sustain battery health and range.
Telo’s Tiny Truck Has 350 Miles Of Range. But Can The Company Go The Distance?
Q: Why did you choose to pursue a mini-truck form factor with a four-door layout and high payload in an urban setting?
The idea was to combine packaging efficiency with usable interior space to fit the needs of urban buyers who want a four-door truck with real payload and capable highway performance, while maintaining a compact footprint for tight city environments.
We Rode In The $24,950 Slate EV Truck... Will It Actually Succeed?
Q: Can you say more there about the range and how the battery choice impacts usability?
The guest explained that the 205-mile figure, achieved with an LFP pack, is a pragmatic compromise given the truck's price and US charging infrastructure, pointing out that usable range is affected by charging behavior and the decision to go with a cheaper, denser pack.
