EV Channels Review

This episode of the Electrek Podcast delves into the significant news of Ford adopting Tesla's North American Charging Standard (NACS) for its future EVs, starting in 2025. This move is seen as a potential tipping point for charging infrastructure in North America, though questions remain about whether other manufacturers will follow suit. The podcast also provides a first look at the Tesla Cybertruck's interior, which has drawn mixed reactions, particularly concerning its large dashboard and unconventional steering wheel. Additionally, the discussion covers the rollout of Tesla's Hardware 4.0 to the Model Y, faster charging speeds for Model Ys with BYD batteries, and Tesla's plans for a new Gigafactory. The Powerwall 3's increased power output and the unveiling of the BMW i5 are also highlighted, with the i5's range and pricing noted as potential drawbacks. Finally, the Cadillac Escalade IQ and a new Hyundai/LG battery plant in Georgia are briefly touched upon.
