214: Europe Can Keep It

Volkswagen unveils its European ID.Every1, but with a small stature and short range, perhaps it’s best if this one stays overseas. Meanwhile, in America, Cadillac unveils the extended length Escalade IQL just as we’re beginning to see the standard Escalade IQ hit the streets. Also, Volvo shows off its ES90 sedan, the Dodge Charger Daytona EV rockets to 60mph, and more, all on this week’s podcast.
