RoboTaxi Rumors and EU Tariff Tango

Description:In this episode of Kilowatt, we cover the latest in electric vehicles and renewable energy, starting with Ford's Q3 2024 sales, which show a minor decline despite strong model performances. Kia celebrates record sales for its EV9 and EV6, along with the launch of its first EV-only factory in South Korea. I discuss a proposed California bill for bidirectional charging and the European Commission's new tariffs on Chinese vehicles. In addition, there are updates on Tesla include Model Y availability in the UK and plans for a diner drive-in theater with superchargers in LA. I also explore advancements in battery technology with the new dry cathode 4680 cells and look forward to the upcoming RoboTaxi event.
