TEN 344 - U.S. INVESTING $15 BILLION IN EVS, LUCID HITS 10,000 RESERVATIONS, REVEL TESLA TAXI STORY

EV Channels Review

This episode of Transport Evolved News covers a wide array of EV industry developments. Key highlights include the U.S. government's bipartisan infrastructure bill, which allocates $15 billion towards EV charging and bus purchases, though it falls short of initial proposals and lacks tax credits without a separate reconciliation bill. Lucid Motors has reached 10,000 reservations for its Air sedan, signaling strong market interest. The show also addresses the shutdown of Revel's Tesla taxi fleet in New York, clarifying that the issue was regulatory rather than a problem with the vehicles themselves. Other notable news includes Volvo's battery joint venture with Northvolt, Tesla's planned opening of its Supercharger network in Norway to non-Tesla vehicles, and advancements in autonomous trucking by TuSimple. The review touches upon potential Audi e-tron updates, Porsche's in-house battery production plans, and Panasonic's close watch on Tesla's 4680 battery technology. The episode concludes with updates on Fisker's production agreement with Magna and the EPA ratings for various Mustang Mach-E variants.
