    196: Battery Buffered EV Charging Solutions

    This week, we look at battery buffered EV charging, and there’s no one better to discuss that topic than Michael Spurr, Public Affairs Manager for ADS-TEC Energy. While ADS-TEC Energy is relatively new to the U.S., the company has quite a CV in European development. Better yet, its charging solutions aim to make EV charger installations easier (and even possible) in certain locations, making battery buffered chargers an ideal way of continuing the rollout of EV infrastructure.

    Episode #195: I Tried to Skim Over it Thoroughly

    Scout’s back, baby! Well, it’s going to be back … give it a few years to hit the road. But that didn’t stop Scout from unveiling its Terra and Traveler pickup truck and SUV. We skimmed over the details and then dove into the matter. From bench seating to e-axles, there’s a lot to review. We then stay in the family with discussions about Volkswagen, Porsche, and more!

    Episode #194: Let’s Not Get Nuanced Here

    The Cybercab and Ruh-bo-vehn are here … sort of. Tesla’s “We, Robot” unveiling of its Level 5 autonomous vehicles and updated Optimus robot hit flat when it comes to detailed nuance, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to unpack — so we do. Also on this episode: Car & Driver tests the ID. Buzz, Ford drops Mach-E pricing, and more!

    Episode #193: BYOC? Now That’s Coul!

    Bring your own charging cable? It’s a wild idea for the U.S., but it’s coming. This week, we chat with Coul Street co-founder and CEO Josh Charles to discover what BYOC is all about, how Coul Street’s curbside charging model puts charger owners in control, and how this concept could revolutionize Level 2 EV charging. We also gaze into the crystal ball to see how long it might be before BYOC chargers make it to a curb near you.

    Episode #192: Rove If You Want To

    Rove if you want to. Rove around the world. That is, if Rove is the right EV charging business model. We discuss whether this new company is on to something, or if Tesla’s already won the charging battle. We also discuss Mate Rimac, the new Chevy Bolt, why GM has dropped the Ultium moniker, Ford handing out home chargers, and more!

    Episode #191: Diving into Recurrent

    This week, we talk to Scott Case, Recurrent CEO and co-founder. Recurrent is taking the mystery out of used EV shopping by offering battery health reports that are compiled by real-world driver data. But it doesn’t end there. Through Recurrent’s data, new car buyers can get a better idea of a vehicles range that is data driven, rather than using EPA range estimates which are all too frequently inaccurate.

    Episode #190: Woosh In and Woosh Out

    When it comes to motorhomes, perhaps a hybrid solution is best — and perhaps Thor has come up with a winner of a Class A RV that can silently woosh in and woosh out of campgrounds. We discuss that, as well as why the Cybertruck is a success, what a ban on Chinese car hardware and software could mean, Volvo CE’s headless EV dump truck, and more!

    Episode #189: Lincoln Electric Goes EV?

    When Lincoln Electric announced its Velion line of Level 3 EV chargers, we didn’t know what to think — fortunately, Lincoln Electric’s Vice-President of Corporate Innovation Steve Sumner was happy to come on this week’s show to tell us all about it. From the fact that Lincoln Electric made its first EV charger 100 years ago (yes, you read that right) to its current adventure with EVSEs and what the future may hold, we guarantee you’ll learn a lot from this week’s episode.
