EV Channels Review

This episode of Autoline After Hours features a deep dive into the Concours d'Elegance of America at St. John's, with special guest Diane Flis-Schneider. The discussion highlights the extensive three-day event, which includes a Hagerty motoring tour, track experiences at M1 Concourse, a "Battle of the Brands" evening event, and a charity gala. Key attractions include featured classes like "Maximum Muscle" and "Can-Am cars," a seminar on the five generations of Vipers, and a celebration of the Murphy of Pasadena coachbuilder. The show also touches upon the evolution of automotive design with a focus on aerodynamic styling and the induction of a Blue Street Graham into the National Registry. The panel also discusses broader industry topics, including the surprising decline in motorcycle sales, the challenges facing EV startups like Lucid and Faraday Future, and the potential for consolidation, with Tesla being the only likely standalone survivor in five years. The segment on electric vehicles also explores the potential for a GMC CUV based on the Chevy Bolt platform and compares the Bolt to the BMW i3.
