BREAKING NEWS: 100 YEAR BATTERY, TESLA SHARES SUPERCHARGERS & CANADA LAUNCH FOR FULLY CHARGED LIVE

EV Channels Review

This episode of 'Almost Breaking News' from Fully Charged focuses on several significant developments in the EV space. The host highlights Tesla's research into a new battery chemistry that could potentially last 100 years, a substantial leap beyond current degradation rates and even Tesla's own million-mile battery claims. The review also covers ABB's new 360kW Terra 360 charger, capable of an 80% charge in under 15 minutes, though the host tempers this with the practical benefit of slower, 'grazing' charging. A critical look is given to Shell, contrasting their significant investments in renewable energy and EV charging with their continued massive spending on fossil fuel exploration, underscored by a top consultant's resignation due to the company's perceived climate inaction. The potential for a sensible battery-swapping policy in India for smaller vehicles is also discussed. Finally, the expansion of Tesla's Supercharger network to non-Tesla EVs in the UK is detailed, noting the higher cost for non-Tesla users but acknowledging the convenience and reliability of the network. The episode concludes with exciting announcements about upcoming Fully Charged LIVE shows in Canada.
