The EV Revolution Show's Episode 107 covers a range of significant EV news, with the Lucid Air reveal being the centerpiece. The host highlights Lucid's strategy of keeping R&D, design, and manufacturing in-house, akin to Tesla, to ensure quality and supply chain control. Key Lucid Air features discussed include its claimed 15% higher efficiency than the Model S, a 900-volt architecture enabling over 300kW fast charging, and a powerful powertrain targeting over 1000 horsepower with sub-10-second quarter-mile times. The interior design emphasizes spaciousness by minimizing component size and placement. Pricing starts at $169,000 for the Dream Edition, with more affordable trims expected in 2022. The show also touches on global plug-in sales trends, GM's wireless BMS technology, the GM-Nikola partnership for the Badger truck, and Rivian's pre-production start. Additionally, an interview segment with Nano One's CEO discusses their approach to cost-effective, durable battery materials, aiming for 'million-mile' batteries. The host also shares his personal experience with a new Tesla Model 3, noting minor quality issues like wind noise and a paint blemish, but praising the delivery and driving experience.
