  • Fantastic in-depth interviews around all-things Electric Vehicles

    After buying my first used EV in 2025, I started listening to this in early 2026 and have fallen in love with it. The hosts conduct fantastic interviews with EV insiders from all ends of the spectrum, including charging providers, electric bikes, obviously electric cars, self-driving innovators, and more. If you’re a believe in the future of all-electric vehicles, you’ll enjoy learning from The InEVitable.

  • Tried to like this

    I tried to like this podcast but man the hosts are pretty unbearable. A bit cringy interviewing guests who come on the show. These guys are def car people but not sure if they’re the best to provide information related to EVs. Makes sense why they keep saying that the show has no sponsors

  • This one deliVErs

    We are at an inflection point, these guys know it, and as we listen to the episodes we will come to know it as well. It is not just about electrifying vehicles, going green, saving the planet, being politically correct. (Although that’s certainly a big part of it.) But think about this - the single largest manufacturing industry in the world is changing massively. A single platform underpinning the full range of a brand’s offering, and not sucking, means huge consolidation and corporate power sh... more

  • Good but just tread lightly with the politics

    look ill be upfront. im conservative. i didn’t like EVs for a long time, but the logic is catching up with me. Still, I’d love for them to not be so politicized. This show does a pretty good job of not wading too deep into those waters, but now and then they do tip their hand. Personally, I don’t want to see the government subsidize anything, whether it be oil, EVs, or honestly even roads (I guess I’m more of a libertarian in that respect). Here’s the bottom line, I think EV’s are a good idea, b... more

The Rideshare Guy: How Uber Drivers Make Money—and When Robotaxis Take Over
Q: What's the reality of driver earnings and the impact of gas prices and car costs on profitability?
Earnings vary widely by city and strategy; many drivers struggle with high car costs, insurance, and fuel, but there are ways to optimize, such as shorter, higher-paying trips, cherry-picking, delivery work, and leveraging upfront pricing and incentives; gas surcharges have helped offset rising fuel costs somewhat in some periods.
The Rideshare Guy: How Uber Drivers Make Money—and When Robotaxis Take Over
Q: What's the scale of the rideshare driver base in the US today, and how many drive full‑time vs part‑time?
A relatively small portion drive full-time; perhaps a few hundred thousand in Uber/Lyft full-time, with millions more part-time drivers. The majority drive part-time, often 20–30 hours a week or less, while a smaller group drives 40–50 hours or more and contributes a large share of total ride hours.
The Rideshare Guy: How Uber Drivers Make Money—and When Robotaxis Take Over
Q: How did you get into this space and what was your first catalyst for starting The Rideshare Guy?
I started driving for Lyft after hearing about high early pay, then realized there was a huge opportunity to share practical tips with other drivers, leveraging my engineering background to analyze efficiency and monetization; over time it grew into a full media business with articles, videos, a YouTube channel, and a newsletter.
Why Most EVs Feel Wrong to Drive | Joakim Rydholm on Steering, EVs & the Polestar 5
Q: What connects Polestar 1, 2, and 5 in terms of driving dynamics?
A continuous focus on steering feel, balance, and brake feel, built on a strong hardware baseline and extended mule testing to ensure the Polestar DNA is carried through every model.
Boss Talk: QNX and Vector Presidents on Simplifying the Complexity of Future Cars
Q: How does Alloy Core address security and safety certifications?
