Episode Summary:In this episode of Kilowatt, I discuss the latest in electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy, starting with Lucid Motors' teaser for a new off-road EV concept. I share the unfortunate closure of Sono Motors and their auction of components for DIY enthusiasts. I analyze the Sony-Honda collaboration on the Afila One, a premium EV entering pre-production despite concerns over its price. I also cover Ford's "Model T moment" and their Universal EV Platform, expressing disappointment in the unveiling while cautiously optimistic about its potential. Updates on the NEVI federal EV charger funding round out the show. In closing, I reflect on the shifting EV landscape and the importance of collaboration, technology, and government support in shaping the future of transportation.Support the Show👉 www.supportkilowatt.comOther Podcasts:Beyond the Post YouTubeBeyond the Post PodcastShuffle Playlist918Digital WebsiteNews Links:Lucid is about to reveal a 'bold' new EV concept this weekThis Solar EV Was Touted As A Revolution.
