WATT REPORT: EV aerodynamics and some DRAMA under the bonnet of Tesla

from Watts Under the Bonnet - The Electric Vehicle Podcast · host LiSTNR

If sliding Tesla sales weren’t putting a bee under the bonnet of Tesla boss Elon Musk this month, then media organisation Reuters certainly did, publishing an article on the alleged axing of the Tesla 2 that Musk has since called a lie; and Nadine and Rusty don’t know what to think! Also in the news, why Tesla and Polestar dropped out of VFACTS reporting, and if EVs really deserve the notorious title of being 'characterless'.   Our usual 'Meet an EV-er' segment has been switched up to introduce you to an E-innovator - Sriram Pakkam, manager for Formula One and EV demonstrator vehicles at Ford Performance. He tells us how the e-Transit sibling – the superVan 4.2 - made its way into the demonstrator lineup, and gives some interesting insight into the relationship between motorsports, aerodynamics, and the performance of EVs. As always, Senior Editor Feann Torr is back to give us the latest EV releases hitting showrooms soon, including the Renault Megane E-Tech, the fancy-pants Maserati Grecale Folgore, and the BYD Seal U.   Read more about the latest EV releases here: Renault Megane E-Tech Maserati Grecale Folgore BYD Seal U.  Alfa Romeo Milano KIA EV3 Ford Mustang Mach-E    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
