Everything you wanted to know about EV’s

Burt R

Great show with Fred and Seth. They cover all EV news in a knowledgeable way while staying positive critical. Good insight and I’m even seeing their news being used in many other publications. And the fact that Fred is Quebec based makes them sometimes look from a non US perspective which is very refreshing. Always looking forward to Fridays for many years, thanks guys.
