AMERICA’S EV CHARGING BOOM ISN’T SLOWING DOWN | INSIDEEVS PODCAST EP35

EV Channels Review

This episode of the InsideEVs Podcast dives into the booming US EV charging infrastructure, highlighting record deployment rates and improvements in charger speed and reliability. Despite broader industry headwinds, charging companies are expanding, with new players and Tesla leading the charge. The podcast also critically examines the EPA's proposal to rescind the endangerment finding on climate change, arguing it's a step backward for public health and the auto industry, despite claims of promoting consumer choice. Finally, the discussion shifts to the growing demand for hands-free driver assistance systems (ADAS), with Tesla's FSD, GM's Super Cruise, and Mercedes-Benz's Drive Pilot being analyzed. While ADAS offers increased convenience and reduced fatigue on highways, the review cautions that current systems, including Tesla's FSD, still require driver supervision and are far from true autonomy, with city driving applications still feeling like a novelty or a work in progress.
