EV Channels Review
The Friday Charge podcast discusses the upcoming Chevrolet Bolt, highlighting its anticipated affordability and modern design language, though noting the platform remains largely unchanged from the previous generation to keep costs down. Ford is teased to be preparing a "breakthrough EV and platform" in the US, potentially a "Model T moment" focusing on SUVs and trucks, aiming for a sub-$30,000 price point. The episode also covers Alpitronic's rapid growth as a US EVSE supplier, Mercedes-Benz's suspension of EQE and EQS orders in the US due to declining sales and high tariffs, and ChargePoint's new "Safeguard Care" program for proactive charger maintenance, though its operational model remains unclear. Finally, a significant portion is dedicated to the importance of choosing quality NACS to CCS adapters, emphasizing safety and reliability over cheaper, uncertified options.
