One for the Plug and One for the Load
This short edition of Kilowatt pairs a tiny electric car with a very large workforce. Bodie revisits the Fiat Topolino and its move from private-property transportation to a street-legal low-speed vehicle for the 2027 model year. He discusses its new 25 mph top speed, the complimentary upgrade for existing owners, and where a small neighborhood EV might fit. Then, BYD’s workforce passes one million employees, prompting a comparison with Volkswagen, Toyota, and Tesla. Bodie looks at changes in BYD’s headcount and the vehicles sold per employee at each company, sharing the numbers as an interesting comparison rather than drawing a conclusion about efficiency.My Podcasts:
