Description:
This episode explores the evolving landscape of electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy. I discuss the Trump administration's removal of EV chargers from federal buildings, Rivian's recall of over 17,000 vehicles for faulty headlights, and BYD's major battery storage contract in Saudi Arabia. We introduce bi-directional EV charging, review Ford's Mustang Mach-E sales, and highlight Tesla's Cybertruck safety rating and new mega charger station. I address recent violent incidents at Tesla facilities, advocating for constructive dialogue. Lastly, I tease future episodes on electric food trucks and innovative EV applications.
