TAYCAN BEATS TESLA CANNONBALL, APPLE TAPS HYUNDAI FOR EV AND MODEL Y STANDARD RANGE & 3RD ROW LAUNCH

EV Channels Review

The InsideEVs podcast episode delves into several significant EV developments. A major highlight is Kyle Connor's record-breaking Cannonball Run across the US in a Porsche Taycan 4S, completing the journey in 44 hours and 25 minutes. This feat not only sets a new EV record but also showcases the viability of public CCS charging networks, despite some initial glitches with Volkswagen Group chargers. The discussion also covers the launch of the Tesla Model Y Standard Range and the optional third row, with the panel expressing skepticism about the third-row's practicality and comfort, while generally praising the Standard Range model's value proposition and adequate performance for most users. Additionally, the podcast touches on Apple's potential EV partnership talks with Hyundai, the Aspark Owl's North American release, and Henrik Fisker's preview of a lifestyle pickup truck, with the hosts generally viewing these as less impactful or still in very early stages.
