Factory Flips and EV Trips

Description:

In this episode, we celebrate the ninth anniversary of the Kilowatt podcast while reflecting on our 625th episode milestone. To mark the occasion, I'm re-releasing the inaugural episode alongside our latest news update, highlighting my journey in podcasting. We explore critical developments in the electric vehicle landscape, including the downfall of Lordstown Motors and its factory's transition to new ownership. We examine Rivian's lawsuit against Ohio's sales regulations and discuss GM's impressive claim of a world record for EV range amid Lucid's assertions. Additionally, we analyze Tesla's new partnership with LG for battery production and the ramifications of a recent court ruling requiring Tesla to pay damages for an autopilot-related crash. Throughout the discussion, I aim to provide a nuanced perspective on the EV industry's exciting advancements and ongoing challenges.
