Episode Summary

In this episode, we’re joined by automotive journalist Brian Makse to talk about the new Nissan Leaf and Kia EV4. Check out Brian's podcast and YouTube channel, Brian Drives Cars for deeper, more meaningful conversations about car culture. I also break down a busy week in EV news, including Tesla opening its Supercharger network to more brands like Dodge, Jeep, and Fiat, while simultaneously expanding its powerful 500 kW V4 chargers in the U.S. On the software side, Tesla’s Full Self-Driving continues to face challenges, with delays in European approval and increased scrutiny from regulators in the U.S., even as new versions move closer to wider release. Meanwhile, competition in the EV space is heating up, with BMW pushing range boundaries, Rivian gaining support from Uber’s massive robotaxi investment, and several automakers scaling back or canceling EV programs. We wrap up with ongoing Tesla Roadster delays and what all of these developments mean for the future of electric vehicles and the industry as a whole.
