EV Channels Review

This weekly update from Matt Maran Motoring covers several significant automotive news items. A major focus is the return of Tim Kuniskis as CEO of Ram, a move welcomed by the host who believes Kuniskis's blunt approach is needed to address Ram's current sales decline and production issues with the RHO and Tungsten models. The discussion also speculates on the potential return of the Hemi V8 engine to Ram trucks, with insiders suggesting former Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares was the sole proponent of its removal. The host is optimistic about this possibility, especially with Tavares's departure. Other news includes Nissan's appointment of a new CEO for North and South America, the production version of the Aston Martin Valhalla, Ford Mustang GTD's Nurburgring record, a preview of the electric BMW M3, the Renault 5 Turbo 3E, a rumored Tesla Model Q under $30,000, potential pushback on the EU's 2035 gas car ban, Mazda's continued focus on internal combustion engines, the 2026 Hyundai Palisade, and Mercedes-AMG's electric SUV and sedan teasers. The overall tone is informative, with a clear emphasis on the potential positive impact of Kuniskis's return to Ram.
