  • I enjoy the show and love the technology they speak about each week but as a conservative Republican I can't help but feel attacked every time I listen to them. They try their best not to get political but somehow every single show they manage to start bad mouthing people of the opposing political bent. Too bad. I love this topic so much but am not going to listen to a show that basically attacks me every single time I listen to it. This is a topic that should be bringing us together. I'm out.

  • Wow really?

    How do you come across someone clueless to EVs and don’t help them out when they purchase one. That is really not cool. If that person ever finds out you have the knowledge you do and you said nothing wow that’s concerning… can’t listen to an EV podcast where the host doesn’t even drive an EV. This one episode I listened to had lots of red flags stay away
