    Can The Electric Jeep Recon Beat The Wrangler? + Ford’s Fight With The Trump Administration

    The Jeep Recon is here. With removable doors, chunky tires, and a charming look, does the first real Jeep EV hold a candle to the Wrangler? In some ways, the EV comes out on top. On this week’s Plugged-In Podcast, the guys discuss Mack’s first impressions of the Recon after driving it both on- and off-road. They also break down the Tesla Cybercab’s long-awaited launch, what we learned last week, and the big questions that still stick out. They also recap the brutal letter Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sent to Ford CEO Jim Farley about its ties to Chinese companies.  Plus, Mack takes his first ride in Waymo’s new Ojai robotaxi in San Diego, and we drool over the wild SkyNomad N90 Max Studio, an SUV designed to double as a tiny apartment.READ MORE:The All-Electric Jeep Recon Beats The Wrangler In One Key Way.

    Telo’s Tiny Truck Has 350 Miles Of Range. But Can The Company Go The Distance?

    Many EV startups have failed. But Telo thinks it can succeed. On this episode of the Plugged-In Podcast, Mack sits down with Jason Marks and Forrest North, the co-founders of Telo Trucks. Their first product, the MT1, is set to arrive later this year, albeit in small numbers. The micro-truck promises the bed length of a Toyota Tacoma in an overall footprint that’s only as long as a two-door Mini Cooper. Despite that, Telo says the MT1 will offer up to 350 miles of range, around 500 horsepower, and 400 kW charging. Is this company the real deal? You’ll have to watch to find out.
