TRANSPORT EVOLVED PANEL SHOW EPISODE 210: FALLEN

EV Channels Review

This episode of Transport Evolved delves into the evolving landscape of electric and future transport. A significant portion is dedicated to the Commuter Cars Tango, with founder Rick Woodbury explaining its unique design philosophy: combining motorcycle-like agility and lane-splitting capabilities with car-like safety features, including a robust roll cage and low center of gravity. The discussion highlights the Tango's potential to alleviate traffic congestion, contrasting it with large infrastructure projects. The panel also covers Tesla's Gigafactory confirmation in Reno, Nevada, and the ongoing battles with auto dealer associations, particularly in Georgia. Other news includes charging network pricing changes, the Volkswagen Golf GTE's European launch, and a durability test for an EVSE. The Nissan e-NV200 Evalia van receives attention for its practicality but is noted for a disappointing 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating, primarily due to pedestrian protection and limited advanced safety features.
