OUT OF SPEC VS LA AUTO SHOW! | EPISODE 189

EV Channels Review

The Out of Spec podcast crew discusses their experience at the 2023 LA Auto Show, noting a significant decrease in manufacturer presence and a shift towards individual brand events. While the show offered opportunities for media to capture content and compare vehicles on the same platform, the overall impression was one of a diminished spectacle compared to previous years, partly due to the lingering effects of the pandemic and industry shifts. The Lucid Gravity was highlighted as the standout reveal, drawing significant public attention and overshadowing other debuts like the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia EV6 GT. The podcast also touched upon the evolving charging landscape, with EVgo present and discussing NACS adoption, while Electrify America had no dedicated booth. The team expressed a desire for more EV unveilings and critiqued the lack of technical expertise among some brand representatives.
