Kilowatt: A Podcast about Electric Vehicles

About

Episode Summary

In this episode, I cover key advancements in electric vehicles and renewable energy, starting with the plug-and-charge feature in the upcoming Kia EV6 and EV9. I highlight Hyundai's “24 Hour Rest Drive” initiative for the Kona, showcasing how EVs can address everyday challenges. 


We discuss the introduction of the first U.S. grid-scale sodium-ion battery and its implications for energy storage. I also report on Tesla's rising Model Y registrations in Sweden and address a fire incident at a solar facility in Nevada. Finally, I share Justin Demare's journey in a Model Y, raising critical questions about autonomous driving safety. I conclude by teasing upcoming guest interviews and inviting listener engagement on EV topics.
