EV Channels Review
This episode of The EV Pulse covers several key developments in the electric vehicle landscape. A significant announcement is Lucid's decision to equip the upcoming Gravity SUV with a native NACS port as standard, aiming to provide owners access to Tesla's Supercharger network upon its 2025 launch. However, concerns remain about charging compatibility with older Supercharger versions and high-voltage systems. The partnership between GM and EVgo to deploy 400 ultra-fast DC chargers across the US is highlighted, featuring 350kW units and amenities, with a notable mention of potential NACS cable inclusion. The episode also touches on ChargePoint's recent layoffs, attributing them to a business model focused on hardware sales rather than recurring revenue from managed charging infrastructure. Other news includes Kia's strong EV3 sales in South Korea, Volvo's extensive software update for 2.5 million vehicles, Stellantis's significant investment in retooling Michigan plants for EVs, and the Rivian R1T being the sole truck awarded an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ for 2024. The discussion around Tesla's Sentry Mode footage being used in police investigations raises privacy and legal questions.
