The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2025/01/30

First drives are out for Jeep’s first EV on U.S. soil, and the reviews are…mixed. The bigger question, though, might be whether the Wagoneer S is branded incorrectly from the get-go. Also on this week’s podcast, we talk about whether Cadillac’s Lyriq-V will be a hit, what Porsche Cayman EV spy shots reveal, whether Honda can make a $30,000 EV for the American market, and what powers Trump’s anti-EV executive orders actually wield.

207: There’s No There There

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2025/01/23

Trump’s back in the Oval Office, and with it comes a new direction for EVs.

2024/12/26

There are a few news items that are fluid and developing, like the Honda-Nissan merger. Why does this melding of manufacturers make sense? We dive into which company benefits best when it comes to electrification.

202: Dig Baby Dig

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/12/19

While it looks like the incoming Trump administration will dismantle many of the existing EV incentive programs, others may stay, which means the “drill, baby, drill” war cry could also turn into “dig, baby, dig” with EV battery production. So we tackle the question: Do EVs need federal incentives?

2024/12/12

Big news at Stellantis this week, with Dodge launching a new EV ad campaign and Ram rehiring the man who gave Dodge much of its bad boy image. Combined with the booting of Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares, does this mark the start of a new era for the company, or is it all a coincidence?

Did a customer revolt cost Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares his job a couple of years early? After all, replacing the Hemi with an EV has had some customers asking whether you’d microwave a steak.

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/11/14

Something is afoot with CARB’s ZEV requirements, and it has the potential to utterly derail the entire motorhome industry in six states starting in 2025. This being an EV podcast, we’re hardly saying ZEVs are a bad goal, but the devil is in the details — so let’s look at those details. We also discuss Lucid cop cars, Cadillac three-row SUVs, and more.

196: Battery Buffered EV Charging Solutions

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/11/07

This week, we look at battery buffered EV charging, and there’s no one better to discuss that topic than Michael Spurr, Public Affairs Manager for ADS-TEC Energy. While ADS-TEC Energy is relatively new to the U.S., the company has quite a CV in European development. Better yet, its charging solutions aim to make EV charger installations easier (and even possible) in certain locations, making battery buffered chargers an ideal way of continuing the rollout of EV infrastructure.Subscribe to the

Scout’s back, baby! Well, it’s going to be back … give it a few years to hit the road. But that didn’t stop Scout from unveiling its Terra and Traveler pickup truck and SUV. We skimmed over the details and then dove into the matter. From bench seating to e-axles, there’s a lot to review. We then stay in the family with discussions about Volkswagen, Porsche, and more!

The Cybercab and Ruh-bo-vehn are here … sort of.

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/10/17

Bring your own charging cable? It’s a wild idea for the U.S., but it’s coming. This week, we chat with Coul Street co-founder and CEO Josh Charles to discover what BYOC is all about, how Coul Street’s curbside charging model puts charger owners in control, and how this concept could revolutionize Level 2 EV charging. We also gaze into the crystal ball to see how long it might be before BYOC chargers make it to a curb near you.Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible,

TWC Podcast #191: Diving into Recurrent

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/10/03

This week, we talk to Scott Case, Recurrent CEO and co-founder. Recurrent is taking the mystery out of used EV shopping by offering battery health reports that are compiled by real-world driver data. But it doesn’t end there. Through Recurrent’s data, new car buyers can get a better idea of a vehicles range that is data driven, rather than using EPA range estimates which are all too frequently inaccurate.Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible, Spotify, Stitcher,

2024/09/26

When it comes to motorhomes, perhaps a hybrid solution is best — and perhaps Thor has come up with a winner of a Class A RV that can silently woosh in and woosh out of campgrounds. We discuss that, as well as why the Cybertruck is a success, what a ban on Chinese car hardware and software could mean, Volvo CE’s headless EV dump truck, and more!Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible, Spotify, Stitcher, PocketCasts, iHeartRadio, Podbean, and more!

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/09/19

When Lincoln Electric announced its Velion line of Level 3 EV chargers, we didn’t know what to think — fortunately, Lincoln Electric’s Vice-President of Corporate Innovation Steve Sumner was happy to come on this week’s show to tell us all about it. From the fact that Lincoln Electric made its first EV charger 100 years ago (yes, you read that right) to its current adventure with EVSEs and what the future may hold, we guarantee you’ll learn a lot from this week’s episode.Subscribe to the podcast on
