ELECTRIC CARS ARE CANCELLED? PORSCHE SPORTS CARS PROVE IT! THIS CAR POD! EP43

EV Channels Review

This episode of 'This Car Pod' delves into the surprising resilience of gasoline-powered sports cars amidst a cooling EV market. The hosts highlight Porsche's strong sales figures for the 911 and 718 models (including the Boxster Spyder RS), contrasting them with declining sales for EVs like the Taycan and Macan EV. They question the future of EVs, citing Chrysler's halt of the Airflow and GM's heavily subsidized leases on models like the Equinox EV as indicators of market hesitation. A key takeaway is the strong demand for range-extended EVs, as evidenced by the Scout brand's pre-order data. The discussion also touches on the Acura RSX returning as an electric crossover, which is met with skepticism, and the peculiar Hot Wheels Proton Saga casting. The episode concludes with a personal segment about Fipo purchasing a practical VW Golf GTI, much to Doug's playful chagrin.
