Batteries, Bots, and Big Decisions

In this episode of Kilowatt, I dive into Jeep's decision to pause the Wagoneer S EV and GM’s indefinite halt of its next-gen electric truck production. We explore CATL’s new LFP battery, which promises a full charge in just 6.5 minutes. Tesla's global expansion of FSD and the introduction of robotaxi-only Supercharger stations in Arizona. I also break down a critical NHTSA report on autonomous vehicle safety, calling for more transparency in how we measure road safety across the board. To wrap up, we preview the upcoming Tesla Q1 2026 earnings call and what it means for the future of the market. Join me for a comprehensive look at the tech and policy driving the EV revolution today.
