Baby, you can drive my car
Yes, I’m gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I’ll love you”…. if your car is electric!
On this episode we discuss the past and future of electric vehicles (EVs) with John Voelcker, a leading expert in electric cars. We delve into the difference between combustion engines and the components of Electric Vehicles. What are the benefits of EVs, will there be more charging stations soon and where? What happens to batteries when cars are sold or turned in after perhaps a 10 year period? Find out what the US Auto industry is prepping for, as well as what China is doing on the EV front. Tune in to find out which electric car is the Motor Trend Car of the Year. Spoiler alert, it is the Lucid Air, which has a longer range than Tesla.
