EV Channels Review

This episode of The Friday Charge provides a comprehensive overview of Q1 2025 EV sales figures, highlighting significant year-over-year growth for most manufacturers, with notable exceptions like Rivian and Tesla experiencing declines. Lucid reported strong growth, attributing it to Tesla owners. Ford's sales included a mix of gains and losses, with the F-150 Lightning seeing a dip. Hyundai has unveiled a refreshed Ioniq 6 with exterior and interior updates, including a new 'Inline' trim, and is expected to receive the updated battery pack from the Ioniq 5. The Polestar 2 appears to be discontinued in the US due to tariffs, with the brand focusing on the Polestar 3 and 4. Ford has launched a new 'From America for America' program offering employee pricing on most models, likely to manage inventory and counter new tariffs. The hosts also briefly touch on lease pricing changes for the Honda Prologue. No vehicles were test-driven in this episode.
