TRANSPORT EVOLVED EPISODE 186: TRANSCONTINENTAL CATCH-UP

EV Channels Review

This episode of Transport Evolved features host Mark discussing current EV news with guest Brad Horton, stepping in for Nikki. The conversation touches on various topics including Elon Musk's Edison Achievement Award, the potential of self-driving technology, and the BMW i3's innovative construction and eco-friendly manufacturing. A significant portion is dedicated to Ford's fluctuating commitment to EVs, particularly the Focus EV, and the challenges of market adoption in different regions. The discussion also highlights the Chevrolet Spark EV's potential in European markets versus the US, and Audi's plans for the R8 e-tron and Q8 e-tron. The episode concludes with a NASA study on EV carbon footprints, the unveiling of the Kia Soul EV, and an eco-friendly electricity tariff from Ecotricity in the UK. While the episode covers a broad range of news, its informal, catch-up style, due to Nikki's absence, makes it less structured than usual.
