Episode Details

After a month off trying to wrap our heads around all the chaos surrounding EVs, solar, and everything else in Washington, we're back with the biggest EV news stories of the day from Tesla, Ford, Volvo, and everyone else on today's hiatus-busting episode of Quick Charge!

It just gets worse and worse for the Tesla true believers – especially those willing to put their money where Elon's mouth is! One believer is set to lose nearly $50,000 betting on Tesla's ability to deliver a Robotaxi service by the end of June (didn't happen), and the controversial CEO's most recent spat with President Trump had TSLA down nearly 5% in pre-morning trading.
