On today’s spectacular episode of Quick Charge, we bust the myth of slowing EV sales by teaching journalists how to do math. We also check out the new, $50,000 mainstream Lucid and break the news to California that they’re not #1 anymore.
We also mark Greenlane’s groundbreaking (literally!) flagship EV charging station for big trucks, and talk up Rivian’s Top Safety Pick+ status, making it unique among little trucks. All this and more – enjoy!
