This episode of Transport Evolved News covers a range of significant developments in the EV industry. Fisker's Austrian subsidiary has filed for insolvency, and its contract manufacturer has ceased production permanently, casting a bleak shadow over the company's future. Ford Europe is reportedly considering keeping internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, specifically plug-in hybrids, beyond 2030 due to lower-than-expected EV demand. The US Department of Justice is allegedly investigating Tesla for potential fraud related to its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving claims. On a more positive note, used EV prices are falling, making them more accessible, and the Eli Zero is now available in the US starting under $12,000. Tesla continues its layoffs, while GM is actively recruiting interns. Aptera is exploring innovative funding methods with a self-directed IRA product. The episode also touches on various other news items, including EV charging infrastructure, new model teasers from Kia, quarterly reports from Lucid, Rivian, and Nikola, and the seizure of two Tesla Cybertrucks in Lithuania reportedly destined for Russia.
