EV Channels Review

The Electrek Podcast discusses significant price adjustments for Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y, with standard range versions seeing notable reductions, potentially influenced by the proposed Green Act tax credits. The performance variants, however, experienced price increases. The episode also covers the unveiling of the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV, highlighting interior upgrades and the availability of Super Cruise on the EUV, though concerns remain about its FWD-only configuration and slow DC fast charging. The cancellation of the Mercedes-Benz EQC launch in the US is noted, attributed to market developments and lower production volumes compared to competitors. Ford's substantial investment in its Cologne, Germany factory for EV production and its electrification goals for 2030 are also detailed. Finally, the podcast touches on the public offering of electric powersports manufacturer Taiga, signaling potential for increased production of electric snowmobiles and watercraft.
