"The American consumer does not have the best things on offer. When was the last time that happened?"
A podcast discussing the Chinese EV industry. And Elon Musk. The US is now years behind on cars, and not only electric ones.
> InsideEVs Plugged-In Podcast - Electric Vehicle News: How China Got So Good At EVs + Tesla Without Elon Musk?
Episode webpage: https://audioboom.com/posts/8714324
Patrick just got back from the Shanghai auto show, and he tells Tim all about experiencing China's futuristic electric vehicles for the first time. The guys discuss Tesla's reported search for a CEO to replace Elon Musk and Waymo's new partnership with Toyota.
Trump’s EV Charger Purge Could Cost Taxpayers Over $1 Billion
"The irony? EVs were actually saving the government money."
The Trump administration has ordered the GSA to remove thousands of EV chargers from federal properties. Decommissioning the charging stations could cost taxpayers between $50 million and $100 million.
Trump’s DOT Stops Key EV Charger Funding Program In Its Tracks
The suspension of NEVI funding may lead to legal challenges, as Congress appropriated these funds.
Tesla Sales Are Tanking In Europe - #InsideEVs

More bad news for Musk in Europe
(Nice graphics by InsideEVs 🙂)

I follow a lot of EV news. I was pleasantly surprised by the run down on Leon Musk's big robotaxi reveal which turned out to be more of 'concepts of a plan' than anything else.
I also liked that the author of article slammed Musk for his forays into manufactured culture wars.
I'm glad some folks in the EV world are willing to speak out.

Are EVs Really Fire-Prone Death Traps?
EVs have a significantly lower fire risk than ICE vehicles. New techniques are being developed for extinguishing EV fires.

So some key questions are not really addressed in the full story, such as:
1) is there a relationship between age of car and fire risk? (Older ICE vehicles are more prone to fluid leaks, which can increase fire. Is there a similar age dependence on specific failure modes for EVs?). How does this influence the conclusion?
2) Is there a qualitative difference in the fire behavior between EV and ICE fires? Intensity? or rate of spread?
3) is there a difference in when the fires occur (eg with collision, when driving, when parked & if so, how long after parking?)
4) what are battery manufacturing and installation QA procedures? (Look at eg Boeing QA failures, much depends on ensuring the appropriate manufacturing & QA procedures are in place. A good design can be compromised by a cost cutting management)
These questions are important in understanding the real risks posed by a car fire. A simple high level indicator (rate per type of vehicle) doesn't provide useful information.
