Love listening to you guys, but as a blue collar worker close to our northern border our situation is significantly different than California. As stated in my review title, I believe electric is our ultimate future, however, those of us in the Midwest and Great Plains states cannot simply transition to pure EV. My first argument is where the heck does all the KWH come from to replace the incredibly energy dense hydrocarbon? Calculate out all fuel burning vehicles today and convert that energy to KWH so we can talk apples to apples. It’s enormous and our electrical grid cannot come close to half. So upgrading the grid and creating these electrons will take a significant amount of time and investments. I believe the best talking point is about the steps we need to take to create this infrastructure, not by mandate! Hybrids are an amazing thing. Smaller batteries (significant cost savings) and smaller,efficient engines running at peak efficient RPM to charge batteries when a long trip is needed. I believe most people could run on pure EV for commutes. But have the option to use fuel when they need to drive more than 20-39 miles. My biggest fear, however, is what happens during a natural disaster, or emergency? The power grid is spotty or down completely. Then your car is as good as a cell phone with no network or dead battery. Ultimately the real solution is a mix of all technology. Nothing mandated by the Feds. And why do we have to get to net Zero? Earth has never been net zero. There will always be forest and wildfires from poor management (plus they are natural and necessary), there will be terrible volcano disasters, and of course we can’t control China and India who are polluting more CO2 than the rest of our planet. This transition cannot be an economic burden on our society. We need to take measured steps and rely on our amazing ability to solve problems. The all-in EV idea will fail if pushed or mandated. Anyway, keep up the good conversations, just remember we are not all California and need vehicles and equipment to work when it’s -20° or there is a major hurricane or earthquake. Best, From North Dakota.

Interesting guests and mediocre host commentary create a podcast that sounds like intelligent conversation, but is nothing more than typical lay person drivel. The hosts come off as typical California liberals — they’ve got all answers, are certain they’re right, and wouldn’t know what questions to ask to find out if they’re wrong anyways. Liberman is okay, but the other guy doesnt have a voice for radio… very, very dry and boring. After a few episodes I think i’m done here.
Great episode

The two-part series with Kyle Conner was great, as expected. Kyle is very knowledgeable in the vehicle industry, and EVs are his specialty. I always enjoy hearing from him, and his humor is always on time. Keep up the excellent work.
Smart, Informative, Different

Unlike other car/EV podcasts which chase the latest press release or car review this is a show which seeks out and navigates the future of transportation. A thoughtful podcast that is supplemented by knowledgeable guest and leaders in the mobility field.
