BOLT EV/EUV PRICE CUT, FORD WANTS CHANGE, DELOREAN'S EV, AND MORE: THE EV RESOURCE PODCAST #108

EV Channels Review

This episode of The EV Resource Podcast covers several significant developments in the electric vehicle market. A major announcement is GM's substantial price cut on the Bolt EV and EUV, making them the most affordable new EVs available, a move the host views positively for boosting sales despite potential profit concerns. Ford's potential shift to an online, Tesla-like sales model is discussed, with the host expressing mixed feelings about dealer involvement. The podcast also highlights increasing consumer interest in EVs, evidenced by CarMax search data, and a Bloomberg projection of tripling EV sales by 2025, though still insufficient for net-zero goals. Exciting concepts like the Aptera's unique design and reservation numbers, Lexus's upcoming premium EV sports concept, and the officially unveiled DeLorean EV with impressive performance specs (though at a high price point) are detailed. A personal update on the host's ongoing issues with his Chevrolet Spark EV battery replacement adds a relatable, albeit frustrating, dimension to GM's service support.
