Episode Synopsis

It’d be an understatement to say that Toyota, Subaru, and Mazda have made halfhearted attempts at building EVs recently. Now, that trend continues with the announcement of new ICE development – but will the new lineup of hybrids actually be the undoing of these reluctant three? We untangle the mess on this week’s podcast. But that’s not all! Tesla’s in the news, both in a suspicious third-party survey about battery degradation and for the company’s rising emissions levels. Also, Hyundai’s fuel cell supercar could be coming to market, the UAW never says die, and more!Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible, Spotify, Stitcher, PocketCasts, iHeartRadio, Podbean, and more!
