  • 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

  • Varied guests, mediocre hosting

    There are some good guests (hydrogen refueling episode) but I find Johnny’s constant ranting about people who don’t like/buy EVs annoying and self defeating. I personally really like EVs, so imagine what it is like for someone who comes in skeptical?

  • Needs new hosts

    Johnny is almost unbearably smug and constantly name drops and interrupts guests. Both Johnny and Ed are clearly coastal elites who constantly let their liberal politics leech into the show. Guess what: apparently if you don’t agree with them you’re an idiot and you should shut up and go away.
