Listen "TWC Podcast #158: Long Story Short, We’ve Run out of Names"
Episode Synopsis
Is Chrysler’s latest EV concept tapping into awesomeness, or does its strangely named Halcyon concept fall short of the company’s sedan design from two decades ago? In other weird name news, we discuss Nikola’s HYLA hydrogen fueling station opening (along with other hydrogen news, both good and bad), the Ionna EV charging consortium, Stellantis moving to J3400, problems with the Fisker Ocean, and so much more.Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible, Spotify, Stitcher, PocketCasts, iHeartRadio, and more!
