EV Channels Review
This episode of the EV Resource Podcast covers several significant EV news items, with a strong focus on trucks. The most critical update is an urgent recall for the Subaru Solterra, advising owners to stop driving due to potential wheel detachment. This is a serious safety concern, especially for a brand's first EV. The podcast also details the debut of the Ram 1500 REV, highlighting its Super Bowl commercial and the brand's commitment to electrification, though specific details remain scarce. Ford teases a high-performance F-150 Lightning demonstrator, hinting at future performance capabilities. Rivian is confirmed to be enabling bi-directional charging (V2V and V2H) for its R1T and R1S models via a software update, a significant feature for owners. Finally, the episode delves into the persistent unreliability of public DC fast-charging networks, citing reports from JD Power and Out of Spec Studios, emphasizing the need for better maintenance and network uptime, with Tesla's Supercharger network noted as a benchmark.
