EPISODE 2 - BIG NUMBERS FOR MARCH!

EV Channels Review

This episode of the EV Revolution Show delves into the infrastructure debate, comparing gas stations to EV charging points. The hosts present data suggesting a significantly better vehicle-to-pump ratio for EVs, especially when home charging is factored in. They highlight that EV charging is a different paradigm, often integrated into daily activities like shopping or dining, rather than a quick stop. The show also covers the Nissan Leaf's rapid charging throttling, explaining it as a battery protection feature. Updates on the Tesla Model 3's production ramp-up, Germany's incentive program, and the upcoming Model Y are discussed. Additionally, the episode touches upon BMW's renewed commitment to electrification, potential issues with the Chevy Bolt, Buick's 'Inspire' concept for China, Mercedes-Benz's EQ S sedan, and VW's battery production expansion. A brief mention of the Czech-made Luka EV and Tesla's Supercharger network growth in Belgium is also included. Finally, the hosts discuss the phase-out of US federal tax credits for EVs, particularly for Tesla, and express concerns about climate change, citing ice shelf melt data.
