JEEP SELLS THE #1 PHEV, HYUNDAI "N DAY", AND MORE... THE EV RESOURCE PODCAST #115

EV Channels Review

The EV Resource Podcast episode 115 covers several key developments in the EV and PHEV space. A significant portion is dedicated to Jeep's Wrangler 4xe, which has become the best-selling plug-in hybrid in the US, outselling the Toyota RAV4 Prime. However, the podcast suggests this success might be partly due to greater availability rather than solely demand. The discussion then shifts to Hyundai's performance-focused 'N Day,' highlighting the upcoming Ioniq 5 N and concepts like the RN22e and the striking N Vision 74. The RN22e is noted for its advanced torque-vectoring system, while the N Vision 74, a hydrogen fuel cell sports car, is presented as a potential future for electric motorsport due to its range-extending capabilities. The episode also touches on the Rimac Nevera officially entering production as the new quickest accelerating production car, Panasonic's significant investment in a new battery factory in Kansas, and the chaotic Formula E race in New York City. Finally, the American Solar Challenge and the integration of Extreme E into Forza Horizon 5 are mentioned, underscoring the growing diversity and innovation in electric mobility.
