On today's slightly confusing episode of Quick Charge, we've got a 675 hp AUDI concept that isn't really an Audi, a self-driving Tesla hitting the roads around Giga Texas while the company pulls all the demand levers in Europe, electric garbage trucks from Mack arriving in Wisconsin, and more!

In addition to the latest new AUDI wagon to hit China, we explore BYD's rise in the global market place and Australia's big shit towards a nationwide V2G network to support that country's energy grid.
