  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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?
Alloy Core provides pre-certified safety and security across the entire platform, generating a unified safety manual and meeting current and coming regulatory requirements, which significantly reduces the OEMs' certification burden.
Boss Talk: QNX and Vector Presidents on Simplifying the Complexity of Future Cars
Q: How does Alloy Core affect OEMs' staffing and development resources?
OEMs can reallocate top software talent from the platform layer to application layers like IVI and ADAS, reducing redundancy in testing and integration, while relying on an already robust, pre-certified base.
Boss Talk: QNX and Vector Presidents on Simplifying the Complexity of Future Cars
Q: What is the top value proposition of Alloy Core for a major car manufacturer?
Alloy Core provides a pre-integrated starting point that safeguards development time and costs, enables tighter integration of middleware with the OS to boost performance, and offers a robust, safety-certified platform that OEMs can test and move forward with quickly instead of building from scratch.
Rivian Built an E-Bike?! 100-Mile Range & No Chain (Also TM-B First Ride)
Q: Is the TM-B open to third-party battery or spare parts, or is it intentionally closed?
Current strategy focuses on delivering complete vehicle products; they are not aiming to become a supplier to the broader micro-mobility industry, and there is limited openness for third-party batteries or frames at the outset, with plans to potentially revisit this as the platform matures.
