EV Channels Review

This episode of the EV Revolution Show, hosted by Kenneth Bill Corry, covers several significant developments in the EV landscape as of April 2019. A key highlight is the opening of right-hand drive Tesla Model 3 orders, initially for the UK, with other markets like Australia and New Zealand to follow. The host expresses optimism about strong demand, potentially exceeding Tesla's conservative forecasts. The show also details Ford's strategic $500 million investment in Rivian, aiming to leverage Rivian's skateboard platform technology for future Ford electric vehicles, including an F-150 variant and a Mustang-inspired crossover. Additionally, the report touches on Peugeot's planned return to the North American market in the early 2020s with a more conventional and electrified lineup. The episode also briefly mentions positive environmental news regarding global greening, largely attributed to reforestation efforts in China and India, and an expansion of lithium-ion cell manufacturing capacity by AESC/Envision Group.
