Description:In this episode of Kilowatt, We talk about Rivian's new Georgia plant for their R2 and R3 models, expected by 2028. I highlight a 30.5% rise in global EV sales for September, driven by strong demand in China, and discuss a Nissan LEAF recall. We also cover attractive leasing options for the Fiat 500E and Subaru Solterra, and IOANNA's initiative to create a modern charging station in North Carolina. Additionally, I address labor relations at Tesla in Sweden and share my excitement for upcoming CES coverage.Support the Show:PatreonAcast+Other Podcasts:Beyond the Post YouTubeBeyond the Post PodcastShuffle PlaylistNews:Rivian R2 and R3 will be built in Normal, IL (For Now)Rivian closer to restarting Georgia plantFiat and Subaru leasesLucid Air Pure leaseIONNA Rechargery 1IONNA Rechargery 2Nissan Leaf recallSeptembers Global EV SalesTesla can't force PostNord to deliver license platesIF Metall sues TeslaTesla labor issues in SwedenSwedish strike didn't impact Tesla's sales*ART PROVIDED BY DALL-eSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/kilowatt.
