The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/09/05

We’re usually knee deep in the latest news and exclusive interviews, so this week we step back to evaluate where the EV industry sits today. From charging infrastructure to charging speed and EV prices, we look at where the industry is compared to where it was not so long ago. We also take stroll down a “what if” alternate reality, and wrap up with a look at the current state of the company that has nearly single-handedly driven the EV revolution: Tesla.Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts,

Just when you thought we were done talking about EV fires, it’s happened again. This time, Rivian’s Normal factory is experiencing a little..ahem…setback in the parking lot.

TWC Podcast #185: What’s on Fire Now?

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/08/22

This week, EVs are on fire — and not in a good way. Between a Tesla Semi burning to the ground on the freeway and a Mercedes EV ablaze in a South Korean apartment parking structure, we take a look at what these particular EV fires mean, how they could have been prevented, and whether the South Korean government’s reaction is justified. Also, Rimac unveils a 2,107 hp supercar, Acura might release an NSX EV, Tesla reveals the pricing for its Cybertruck range extender, and more!Subscribe to the podcast

TWC Podcast #184: Haters Gonna Hate

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/08/15

EV charging is a hot topic, and no matter how you slice it, haters gonna hate. Maybe that’s why Rivian announced it’ll be switching the side of the charging port for its upcoming R2. But this isn’t the only charging news this week — Zeeker claims it has developed an LFP car battery that will charge from 10-80% in less than 11 minutes while TXU Energy offers (limited) free charging. Plus, CATL opens a showroom, Rivian gets radical, and more! Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music,

TWC Podcast #183: We Can, But Should We?

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/08/08

There’s a whole lot of experimentation going on this week. From podcast co-host Ed Sanchez recording his first EV video to Fiat revealing a car-based BYOC solution, the question isn’t can we, it’s should we? In a similar vein, Dodge is back with its Charger Daytona EV exhaust, Toyota reveals an EV delivery van that’s not a Toyota, Lucid gets another cash infusion, and more!

2024/08/01

When we spoke to itselectric co-founder Nathan King one year ago, he described a company founded on the idea that EV charging should be as simple as parking on the street and plugging in. On this episode, he’s back with co-founder Tiya Gordon to explain what they’ve been up to over the last 12 months, as well as what sets itselectric apart from just about every other Level 2 charger in America. From “bring your own cable” to how they supply electricity to the pedestal, itselectric is doing things

TWC Podcast #181: Inside Gilbarco Veeder-Root’s Konect

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/07/25

You may not recognize the name, but you’ve certainly used the company’s products. As a supplier of fueling pumps to roughly half of the gas stations worldwide, Gilbarco Veeder-Root knows how to keep cars on the go. Consequently, when the company announced Konect — the EV charging arm of the company — we took notice. This week, we interview Merrick Glass, the Global Head of Strategy & Marketing, e-Mobility at Gilbarco Veeder-Root, to learn what this move into electrification means for the

TWC Podcast #180: This Is Going to Be a Tough Transition

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/07/18

When you consider companies like Ford and GM are struggling in their shift from ICE to EV, just imagine how rough things could get for the smaller companies as they go all-in. We check out production numbers for the likes of Audi and Jaguar, while also discussing VinFast factory delays, how a U.S. drone law could affect BYD’s move to the states, the Democrats and Republicans targeting the same auto workers, and what Tesla’s robotaxi delay really means.Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts,

TWC Podcast #179: Floundering Forward

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/07/11

Lucid’s Air sales are thin, but could they be affecting Tesla Model S sales? And speaking of the Model S, is the luxury sedan actually floundering, with no solid footing in the future? We discuss the possibilities. We also chat about Rivian’s partnership with VW, Fisker’s multi-thousand-car sale, NASCAR’s electric concept, and more!Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible, Spotify, Stitcher, PocketCasts, iHeartRadio, Podbean, and more!

2024/07/04

Hey Rimac…apparently Ernest P. Worrell never made it to Croatia, or else you may have named your new robotaxi something other than Verne. Jim Varney jokes aside, we dive into Rimac’s newest release, an autonomous vehicle with no steering wheel, no pedals, and no windshield wiper. We also talk about Tesla eventually dropping support for Hardware 3 vehicles and what that means for car buyers.

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/06/20

Ford has created a “dream team” to build the company’s next generation of affordable EVs, but is the idea as good as it sounds, or will it turn into an AI-generated nightmare? We break down the possibilities. We also look into recent statements by Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, as well as look at the realities of Aspark’s record-setting claims.

TWC Podcast #175: The Gateway to Success

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/06/13

We update the hardware on our 2019 Tesla Model 3 SR+ and test out the latest FSD. The results are…well…mixed. We tell you all about it on this week’s podcast, along with what’s new at Rivian, how Virginia is opting out of CARB emissions requirements, which could lead to bad things — like what’s happening in Texas. We put all of that into context with a California emissions history lesson, chat about a diesel decline, and more! Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible,

Jeep’s on the move with the unveiling of the Wagoneer S, the brand’s first production-intent EV – and it’s a stunner.

TWC Podcast #173: Their Own Worst Enemy

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/05/30

It’d be an understatement to say that Toyota, Subaru, and Mazda have made halfhearted attempts at building EVs recently. Now, that trend continues with the announcement of new ICE development – but will the new lineup of hybrids actually be the undoing of these reluctant three? We untangle the mess on this week’s podcast. But that’s not all! Tesla’s in the news, both in a suspicious third-party survey about battery degradation and for the company’s rising emissions levels. Also, Hyundai’s fuel cell

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/05/23

Last week’s announcement of a U.S. tariff hike on Chinese EVs is followed by this week’s news of a potent plug-in pickup from China called the Shark, showing companies like BYD have serious chops that could really take a bite out of the North American market. Meanwhile, the UAW fails to control the Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama, Kia is spotted testing its EV pickup, Toyota announces an EV big rig, and more!

TWC Podcast #171: That’s a Bold Move Cotton

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/05/16

Yeah, we know this episode’s podcast title is a misquote, but the sentiment remains true: With the unveiling of a hydrogen-powered 5500 Ram truck, it’s a bold strategy for Ram. What else is a bold strategy is Biden’s 100% tariff on Chinese-built EVs, Tesla’s about-face on firings and hirings, and Rimac shifting away from full electric hypercars.

The Watt Car EV Podcast ·

2024/05/09

We have two big EV topics to chew on this week, and both involve the heads of organizations. First, let’s discuss Elon. Is Tesla’s success tied to its polarizing CEO, or is there life after Musk? Then, it’s time to talk about the rise and fall (and then another rise and fall) of Henrik Fisker’s automotive empire. Was his vision right but the timing wrong, did Henrik concentrate on the wrong things, and what is this CEO’s next play?Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible,

Other conversations include charging a Tesla on CCS, new CHAdeMO installations, Tesla lays off its Supercharger team, Nissan unveils “unique” concepts, and so much more.Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible, Spotify, Stitcher, PocketCasts, iHeartRadio, Podbean, and more!
