WAIT... EVS COST MORE TO FUEL THAN ICE VEHICLES?? NOT REALLY...

EV Channels Review

This episode of the EV Resource Podcast critically examines the Mazda MX-30 EV, deeming it a significant misstep for the brand due to its uncompetitive range and features, comparing it unfavorably to older compliance cars. The host highlights Mazda's "Elite Access Loaner Program" as an admission of the MX-30's limitations for longer trips. The review also touches on EVgo's revenue growth and leadership changes, updates to the Chevy Blazer EV pricing with the discontinuation of the base model, BYD's surprising sales lead in Sweden for July, and Fisker's new model unveilings. A significant portion is dedicated to debunking a report suggesting EVs are more expensive to fuel than ICE vehicles, with the host arguing the study's methodology is flawed and potentially biased. The episode concludes with a crucial safety warning about home EV charging setups, detailing a near-house fire incident due to improper use of a dryer outlet and extension cord, urging listeners to have their charging equipment inspected regularly.
