TESLA'S BIG DEMAND PROBLEM, VW ID.4 AND THE NORRA 1000 RACE, AND MORE... THE EV RESOURCE PODCAST #63

EV Channels Review

The EV Resource Podcast episode #63 covers several key EV developments. A significant portion is dedicated to the Volkswagen ID.4's participation in the NORRA 1000 race, highlighting its impressive mechanical reliability despite extreme conditions and minimal modifications. The reviewer notes the ID.4's success in completing the race with only minor issues, emphasizing the inherent reliability of EVs. The podcast also addresses Tesla's strong demand, debunking notions of a 'demand problem' by citing sold-out production for the current quarter for Model 3 and Y, attributing the surge to a positive shift in consumer perception. Other topics include the promising eFlyer 800 electric aircraft, Ford's E-Transit pricing, Uber's partnership with Arrival for an electric ride-hailing car, Solid Power's substantial investment in all-solid-state batteries led by BMW and Ford, and Formula E's potential return to Vancouver and its successful race on the Monaco circuit, which the reviewer suggests is better suited for Formula E cars than Formula 1.
