EV Channels Review

This episode of Autoline After Hours delves into the controversial topic of Tesla's battery swap program and its implications for zero-emission vehicle credits in California. The discussion highlights a lack of transparency in the program, with evidence suggesting that actual battery swaps are minimal, despite Tesla receiving significant credits. The panelists question the efficacy and fairness of the policy, suggesting it may function as a de facto subsidy for Tesla.
