Join Domenick Yoney and a cast of his fellow EV enthusiasts to talk about the biggest electric vehicle stories around. Brought you by the team behind http://InsideEVs.com
Ford just revealed the price and name of its brand-new affordable electric pickup truck coming next year. The Ford Fathom starts at under $30,000, but can Ford’s new Universal Production System beat out cheap EV competitors like the Slate Truck?
Plus, Tim and Suvrat break down Slate’s first drives, Lucid’s major $1.4B operational reset (and delay of the Cosmos EV), and why BMW is putting Spider-Man ads directly inside its cars.

Are autonomous vehicles actually safer than human drivers? On this week’s episode of the Plugged-In Podcast, Mack and Tim break down new research that reveals two things: Waymos crash less than human drivers, but autonomous vehicle crash data has big limitations.
Plus, early drive reviews are in for the Ferrari Luce EV, and they might shut up the haters. This thing seems to drive just like a Ferrari should. And real-world range and charging metrics for the Rivian R2 are finally emerging now that deliveries are underway. How does it stack up to the Tesla Model Y Performance?
We also check out a game-changing battery from FAW that charges at mind-blowing speeds, and take a look at a new J.D. Power study showing EV drivers are significantly happier with their vehicles than gas car owners.

Honda just pulled the plug on the Prologue—leaving the brand with zero electric vehicles in the U.S. Mack and Tim break down Honda’s big pivot.
Plus, Mack bought a Chevy Blazer EV! He breaks down why he chose it, what other options he considered, and why going back to a gas car was out of the question. Also in this episode: if you've been waiting for a cheap used EV, bad news—the legendary cheap Tesla and Chevy Bolt deals are starting to dry up as prices rise across the pre-owned market. Tim and Mack dive into the numbers.

The EV market isn't dead—but the landscape is changing faster than anyone expected.
In this week's episode of the Plugged-In Podcast, InsideEVs journalists Tim Levin and Mack Hogan break down the wild Q2 and H1 sales numbers. While some legacy automakers are suffering brutal 90%+ declines and pulling models, others are surging. We look at Toyota’s shocking rise up the leaderboard, Hyundai's continued success, and how Tesla managed a massive global comeback despite U.S. headwinds.
Plus, Toyota's CEO is proposing an unprecedented "alliance" among Japanese automakers. Will sharing basic components be enough to stop China's EV speed?
Finally, we look at a quirky $15,000 EV called "Chip" that you can drive remotely, and discuss the costly impact of US clean energy rollbacks.

Are fake engine sounds good for electric cars? Or just lame? On this week's show, we answer your EV questions. As always, drop a question in the comments and maybe we'll answer it on the show!
We also discuss what's next for Tesla—just note, we recorded this before its latest sales release and the Model Y L announcement, which is why we don't talk about it! And we discuss the best EVs we've ever tested—and what we'd buy if money was no object. Porsche Taycan, anyone?
The Slate EV truck FINALLY has an official price tag: $24,950 before destination fees, making it America’s cheapest EV and its most affordable pickup. But can this newcomer actually survive and compete in the brutal electric truck market?
In this episode of the Plugged-In Podcast, Tim and Suvrat break down all the massive news surrounding Slate this week. They discuss whether its range, 205 miles, is enough for 2026. And they explain Slate’s new battery strategy (hello, LFP!) Plus, Tim actually got to see the truck in person and take a ride in it! He shares his first impressions on the interior, and whether the driving experience matches the hype.
What do you think? Is the Slate truck priced to win? Let us know in the comments!

The robotaxi wars just got real. On this week's Plugged-In Podcast, hosts Mack and Tim break down everything you need to know about the race to own autonomous ride-hailing—and there's a LOT happening all at once.
Tesla's Cybercab specs are finally public thanks to EPA filings: a 48 kWh battery, 219 hp front-wheel-drive motor, and an astonishing 165 Wh/mi efficiency rating that makes it the most efficient EV ever certified. But EPA certification and commercial robotaxi deployment are very different things—and Tesla's fleet is still tiny.
Meanwhile, Uber is building a web of partnerships—Lucid, Nuro, Wayve, and Stellantis—that looks less like a ride-hail company and more like a platform play for the autonomous age. And Mobileye is making a stunning pivot: no longer just a sensor supplier, it's entering the robotaxi arena with its own fleet. And
Who actually wins this race? The company with the best hardware? The best software? The best network? Mack and Tim dig in.

Is the internet overreacting to Ferrari’s first-ever electric car? In this episode of the Plugged-In Podcast, Mack and Tim break down the massive wave of public backlash hitting the newly unveiled Ferrari Luce. Tim shares his firsthand thoughts after actually seeing Maranello's Jony Ive-designed EV up close, and explains why he thinks it’s actually cool. (Sorry!)
Plus, we look at the positive side of the electric transition: the EV charging grid is officially getting a glow-up. From Rivian hitting a major infrastructure milestone to Walmart and Electrify America making charging less of a headache, things are moving fast. Finally, we unpack a Reuters investigation that suggests Tesla might still be years away from truly scaling full self-driving technology.

Do EV enthusiasts care about performance cars? Do traditional car enthusiasts care about EVs? This week on the Plugged-In Podcast, Mack Hogan and Andrei Nedelea break down the news about the Ferrari Luce, the company’s first EV. It’s got over a thousand horsepower, four independent motors, and a trick suspension that should make it plenty interesting to drive.
But in the second segment, we break down a key challenge for the Luce: Who is it for? Typical car enthusiasts that buy Ferraris seem relatively closed off to electric performance vehicles. And even for InsideEVs’ enthusiastic audience, nobody seems to care about the high-power stuff. They’d rather read about Hyundais and Chevies than Porsches and Ferraris.
Finally, Tim Levin and Mack sit down with Andrew Chapin, the Chief Operating Officer of autonomy company Nuro, to get an update on the autonomous vehicle race. You won’t want to miss it.

Is the federal government about to change the cost of EV ownership? This week on the Plugged-In Podcast, Tim Levin and Mack Hogan break down the proposed $130 annual federal registration fee for electric vehicles and what it means for the future of highway funding.
Mack also shares his experience behind the wheel of the Volvo EX60—a minimalist luxury SUV that might just be the most polished electric vehicle Volvo has ever built. Plus, we discuss the brand-new Mercedes-AMG GT, which has officially claimed the crown as the fastest-charging EV in America, boasting an 11-minute charge time from 10-80%.
Finally, Tim sits down with Brandt Hastings, President of North America at ABB E-Mobility, to talk about the massive shift in charging infrastructure and how ABB is meeting the demands of the next generation of EVs, trucks, and robotaxis.

Is the Golden Age of EV charging finally here? This week on the Plugged-In Podcast, Tim sits down with Seth Cutler, CEO of Ionna, the massive charging joint venture backed by seven of the world’s biggest automakers. We dig into how Ionna plans to deploy 30,000 chargers by 2030 and whether this company can actually fix the reliability crisis.
Plus, Mack takes the new Volvo EX60 for a spin to test its Google Gemini integration, which is also coming to vehicles from GM, Polestar, and other brands. Forget basic, frustrating voice commands. We’re talking full-on conversational navigation. The guys discuss why this is probably the best feature in new cars.
We also look North as Chinese EVs trickle into Canada. While the US doubles down on 100% tariffs, Canada is taking a different path. Is this the backdoor for BYD and Geely to get into America?

What would happen to startups like Lucid and Rivian if Chinese EVs were allowed into the U.S.? Is the Tesla Cybertruck doomed? What’s going to win out, the Rivian R2 or the BMW iX3? Was the EV tax credit just a handout to the rich? Why doesn’t Tim have an EV (yet)?
The guys dig into all of these questions and more on this week’s episode. If you want to be featured in the next round of listener questions, drop your thoughtful comments on YouTube or InsideEVs.com.

Is Rivian about to deliver a reset on how e-mobility works? Tim tested one, and he loved it.Also on this episode: Patrick talks to Matias Giannini, the CEO of Horse Powertrain. It's a new engine joint venture from Renault and the Geely Group. Why is our podcast covering engines? Because these engines are designed to be better: cleaner, smaller, more efficient, and purpose-built for things like plug-in hybrids and extended-range EVs. They're pro-EV but believe that if gas engines have to stick around longer, they have to better—and they have some interesting stuff up their sleeves.

Do you know where all the parts on your car come from, and how they got there?
Most carmakers don't, actually. But BMW is working to change this. Starting with the grille on the new electric iX3, it's finding ways to track the carbon emissions of its entire supply chain—from raw minerals to the final product.
This episode features a discussion about supply chain innovations and investments in future technologies, including sustainable materials. As part of our Climate Week NYC partnership with BMW, you can hear more about how the carmaker tackles its decarbonization goals and integrates these efforts into its business strategy.
Tesla’s new “more affordable models” are here. But they’re not actually new, and not that cheap. In this episode, Patrick and Tim break down the Model 3 Standard and Model Y Standard. They dig into what these cars are missing, what’s good about them, and whether they’re a good deal or not.
Then Albert Gore, executive director of the Zero Emission Transportation Association, joins the show to chat about how America’s battery makers and EV brands are grappling with this current moment.

Hydrogen-powered cars have never quite gotten off the ground. But BMW thinks the new iX5 Hydrogen coming in 2028 can change that.
On this special episode of the InsideEVs Plugged-In Podcast, brought to you in partnership with BMW, Patrick and Tim sit down with Dr. Michael Rath, the automaker’s VP of hydrogen vehicles.
They discuss the history of hydrogen-powered cars—from BMW’s first effort in the 1970s to its 12-cylinder engine that ran on liquified hydrogen to the iX5 Hydrogen going on sale soon. Dr. Rath explains why BMW is still betting big on hydrogen as a zero-emission option for people who can’t conveniently charge a conventional battery-powered EV.
The guys also ask about the challenges facing hydrogen fuel-cell EVs. What would it take to build out hydrogen fueling infrastructure in a major way? Will fuel-cell EVs ever be as popular as battery-powered ones? Are commercial vehicles the best application for this technology?
Stick around for this fascinating conversation about the future of BMW’s hydrogen-vehicle efforts.
Electric-vehicle tax credits are dead, and if you didn’t act fast, you’ll pay more than you would have a few months ago. Or so we thought! Car companies like Ford, General Motors and Hyundai are here for you, offering discounts, deals and price cuts on their most popular EVs. But for how long?
Meanwhile, Porsche tells us why the new Cayenne Electric will be much more than just a bigger version of the new Macan. It’s going to be a high-tech flagship that reinvents the user experience, and rethinks how EV batteries are assembled.
Finally, Patrick and Tim interview Elaine Buckberg, Senior Fellow at Harvard University’s Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability and former Chief Economist of General Motors, about what’s next in the EV market.

The great EV pullback has begun. And the latest casualty is Ram’s electric pickup truck. Patrick and Tim debate whether canceling the 1500 REV was the right move—and whether the brand’s gas-powered EREV pickup can pick up the slack.
Plus, U.S. regulators opened an investigation into whether Tesla’s electronic door handles are defective after a bombshell report. Tesla design chief Franz von Holzhausen even commented on the news, teasing a door-release redesign.
To close out the show, Tim speaks with Joe Cohen, co-founder and CEO of Infinite Machine, a New York City-based micromobility company making some stunning and high-tech two-wheelers: P1 and the Olto.

Welcome to the fourth in a 10 part series of tech talks - presented by AVL
In this series we've already looked at the various different paths to electrification, how to simulate the various parts of a vehicle and how to develop a car in a virtual environment. Coming up soon we'll talk about charging technologies.
But today we're talking about battery safety. EVs are already far safer to drive than a fossil car, with the rate of things like fires far lower. But work doesn't stop making them even safer.

Welcome to a new mini-series from InsideEVs investigating the technical side of electrification. For Episode #1 we ask what the future could look like. Matthias Brendel, Business Field Leader Electrification at AVL, provides exclusive insights into the various forms of electrification.
What are the current technologies which are realistic options and will there be one 'winner' or will we end up with a mix of technologies? Can there be several winners based on use-cases? What are BEVs up against to match the efficiency of combustion, and the energy stored in fossil fuels? How energy dense are batteries and how much more is there to come from battery storage technology?
For answers to these and other questions listen to the new [@InsideEVs] podcast series presented by AVL.
