SPECIAL 2022 SEMA SHOW EDITION WITH BOGI LATEINER | SEASON 4 EPISODE 6 | THE INEVITABLE

EV Channels Review

The InEVitable podcast features a compelling discussion with Bogi Lateiner about her "Iron Maven" project: a 1961 Volvo PV544 body seamlessly integrated onto a 2019 Volvo S60 Recharge T8 Polestar PHEV chassis. The build, a three-year endeavor involving over 150 women, debuted at SEMA 2022. Lateiner highlights the immense challenge of the body swap, emphasizing how the team built the car around the S60's powertrain, suspension, and brakes. A significant aspect of the review is the celebration of the all-female build team, a stark contrast to the traditionally male-dominated SEMA show. The hosts praise the vehicle's stunning "Rebel Berry" paint and the innovative integration of the S60's grille and front camera into the PV544's design. While the car is functional, Lateiner admits to numerous fault codes typical of such complex builds, though the core hybrid system is operational. The discussion also touches upon the broader implications for women in the automotive trades, with Lateiner advocating for greater inclusivity and support within the industry.
