On today’s long-awaited and often delayed episode of Quick Charge, we talk up the reveal of a revolutionary, world-beating, and record-setting new sporty EV, as well as the “new” Tesla Roadster that’s going to hover around a parking lot (allegedly) in October.
We’ve also got an hour-long detour in a Tesla Cybercab as Zürich airport deploys L4 autonomous shuttles, Volkswagen rolls out a record-setting sporty EV of its own, and BYD rolls out a 600 km electric semi truck with 1.5 MW “flash charging” that’s ready for sale right now.
