Listen "TWC Podcast #57: Drinking the Wolfsburg Kool-Aid"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode, we geek out over the recently unveiled VW ID.Buzz. Sure, it’s basically a gussied up minivan, but this years-in-the-making retro people mover is exactly what the world needs, and the specs look spot on. Yes, there’s other EV news involving nickel prices on the rise, Rivian backtracking, Sony partnering with Honda, GM partnering with PG&E, a Blazer SS EV tease, and more, but this week, it’s mostly us drinking the Wolfsburg Kool-Aid.Subscribe the the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible, Spotify, Stitcher, PocketCasts, iHeartRadio, and more – or use your favorite podcast application.SHOW NOTESNickel prices are increasing: https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-evs-1k-price-increase-nickel-prediction-morgan-stanley/ Rivian backtracks on price increase: https://www.thewattcar.com/home/rivian-increases-pricing-of-r1t-and-r1s-predatory-or-inevitable Ed is in the news: https://cbs12.com/news/local/soaring-gas-prices-increases-demand-for-electric-vehicles VW ID.Buzz unveil: https://www.thewattcar.com/home/volkswagen-idbuzz-official-reveal-pricing-specs-and-availability Sony partners with Honda: https://www.thewattcar.com/home/sony-announces-ev-partnership-with-honda GM partnering with PG&E: https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1135252_gm-future-evs-home-power-bidirectional-california-pilot-program GM reveals 20 second video of its Blazer EV SS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlnhukZnAwQ This week’s hosts: Phil Royle and Edward A.
