The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2023/03/16

Is the unveiling of the three-row Kia EV9 SUV super exciting or kinda boring? The answer is yes, in all the best ways, and we tell you why on this week’s podcast. We also discuss the VW ID. Buzz that’s slated to make its U.S. debut this summer, we talk about a ride-along in a Canoo equipped with steer-by-wire, we chat about the Lexus RZ 450e that also features a steer-by-wire setup, and we ponder how Tesla’s Supercharger with the Magic Dock managed to only charge two out of three EVs in a recent

TWC Podcast #108 : Are EVs the End of Hot Rodding?

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2023/03/02

Are EVs killing the automotive aftermarket culture? Is the hot rodding chapter coming to a final close? Are driving enthusiasts just modern dinosaurs, with EV mandates being the destructive meteor? On this week’s episode of The Watt Car EV Podcast, we ponder these questions, along with some of the unintended consequences — both good and bad — of the motoring world shifting to full electric.

This week, we discuss Ram halting $100 preorders for its 1500 REV just five days after starting, Hyundai directly addresses Tesla in a commercial, Elon Musk pushes back against one U.S. government entity, then shakes hands with another. Meanwhile, BP buys TravelCenters of America (is this to grow BP’s EV footprint?), Subway gets into the EV charging game, and road tripping across America in an EV might be easier with one particular brand — oh, there’s that “T” word again.

TWC Podcast #106: Not Officially Officially Official yet

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2023/02/16

When is the EU 2035 zero tailpipe emissions mandate actually official? Apparently not yet — but it’s getting closer. What is official is that the Ram 1500 EV will be called the REV, and according to the latest commercial, this EV is anything but premature. In other news, Tesla “pledges” to open some of its Supercharger network to non-Teslas, Ford pauses Lightning production, NHTSA considers making noise, and more.Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible,

TWC Podcast #105: A Van Down by the River

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2023/02/09

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz eSprinter will boast a large battery and potentially close to a 300 mile range, making it an ideal van for living down by the river — oh, and probably a solid choice for trade workers, too. Is Ford working on a high performance F-150 Lightning? Better question: Is a high-performance Lightning necessary? Rivian enters the news with potential V2G and low range in its future. Plus, the future of the Miata, a rear-mounted charge port for the forthcoming EV Boxster, Lucid’s motor

2023/02/02

From its initial tease to production unveiling, the Ioniq 6 has consistently impressed, and now with its curvy sedan’s range revealed, Hyundai reinforces the notion that it’s the current model of the modern EV movement. But before we get to that, we chat about a city in California electrifying its municipal fleet more than a decade ahead of any government mandate. The topics then turn to Toyota management, another Mazda getting a plug, Ford’s pricey charging option, TravelCenters of America bringing

We go full prepper this week sorting through the good, the bad, and the ugly of gasoline vs. electricity when the power goes out for an extended period of time.

TWC Podcast #91: Does This Sound Cool Now?

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2022/11/03

Did Cadillac go down the wrong path with the Celestiq, and is Ford caving to its dealers when it comes to EV sales? Probably and maybe. But the real question is whether the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept sounds cool — something Stellantis doesn’t seem to know, since the company’s reps are asking people at this year’s SEMA Show. Also, have you heard the rumors? There’s a new EV Caterham in the works and there might be a new non-DeLorean-branded DeLorean EV coming…eventually. Also, flying
