EPISODE 41 - CANADIAN ZERO EMISSION, KIA HABANIRO, SONO MOTORS PRODUCTION, AUDI AI:ME AND MORE!

EV Channels Review

This episode of the EV Revolution Show, hosted by Kenneth, delves into several key EV developments as of April 2019. A significant portion is dedicated to Canada's new national EV incentive program, offering $5,000 for battery-electric and longer-range plug-in hybrids, and $2,500 for shorter-range PHEVs, with specific MSRP caps. The host expresses optimism that this will boost EV adoption nationwide, despite Tesla's exclusion due to pricing. The show also covers Kia's production challenges for popular models like the Niro EV and Soul EV, exploring potential manufacturing expansions to meet demand and EU regulations. A brief look at the Kia HabaNiro concept highlights its dual-motor AWD, 300-mile WLTP range, and compact commuter design, though details remain scarce. Other segments touch upon Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV sales milestones, Sono Motors' production plans in Sweden, the VW ID. Roomzz three-row SUV concept, Audi's AI:ME autonomous concept, Jaguar I-Pace's award wins, and the Genesis Mint city car concept. A notable mailbag segment addresses the etiquette of PHEVs using public charging stations, with the host strongly advocating for their right to charge, emphasizing the goal of reducing emissions regardless of vehicle type.
