TEN EPISODE 370 - AIRSTREAM EV, OPIBUS BUS, LIQUID COOLED LEAF PACKS!

EV Channels Review

This episode of TEN covers a range of EV news, with a particular focus on innovative concepts and developments. The Airstream E-Stream trailer, featuring its own electric drivetrain and battery, is highlighted as a potential game-changer for EV towing. The debut of the Opibus electric bus, designed and built in Africa, is noted as a significant milestone for the continent's electric mobility sector. A key development discussed is the new liquid-cooled battery packs for older Nissan LEAFs by a New Zealand firm, addressing a long-standing issue for owners of these early EVs. The review also touches upon Tesla's FSD price increase, GM's Cadillac Lyriq production, and the IIHS's new safety rating system for semi-autonomous driving. While the news is generally positive, the discussion around the vehicular manslaughter charge related to Tesla's Autopilot serves as a somber reminder of the need for driver responsibility and standardization in driver assistance systems.
