PODCAST: KIA EV DAY, TESLA STOCK CRASHING, VW ID.4 SURGING, MORE

EV Channels Review

This podcast episode delves into significant developments in the EV market, with a strong focus on Kia's new EV lineup. The Kia EV4 is highlighted as a key upcoming model for North America, offering two battery options (58.3 kWh standard, 81.4 kWh long range) with projected WLTP ranges of 430 km and 630 km respectively. While the interior design is noted as traditional, the exterior, particularly the GT line, receives praise. The EV3, though unveiled, is confirmed not to be coming to North America. The discussion also covers Tesla's stock performance, with the host emphasizing Elon Musk's past warnings about earnings growth and the current stock decline. Other topics include the Volkswagen ID.4's surge in Europe, the Volvo EX90's impressive charging specs, and the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra's high-performance capabilities. Lucid's announcement of doubling 2025 deliveries, driven by the Gravity SUV, is also a key takeaway, despite CEO Peter Rawlinson stepping down.
