First World problems strike one of our podcast hosts, with Level 2 charging suddenly proving problematic. Still, the show must go on — and this week, that involves a discussion about the freshly-released Kia EV9 specs and Germany attempting to sneak e-fuel exemptions into the European Union’s 2035 ICE ban. We also chat about how the potentially game-changing energy dense Amprius Technologies EV batteries are like growing a forest in your car, Winnebago is now an EV battery manufacturer, and more!
