This week Robbie gets his hands on the almost base model Lucid Air, the all-wheel drive Pure. Nicole has the new Subaru Crosstrek which is no longer offered in high-visibility orange and Sam drive the Lexus RZ450e with its flimsy charge port door.

In the news, Ford is upgrading the climate control on the 2024 F-150 Lightning with heat pumps, and Nissan previews the Hyper Urban concept EV that we'll see in Tokyo in a couple of weeks. A company that was burning used EV batteries for testing in central Ohio agrees to stop and EV owners in Texas encounter a nasty-gram at the charger - from other EV owners. Volvo announces pricing for the new EX30 and Home Depot is going to phase out gas powered outdoor equipment. Rivians can now be ordered with the Max battery pack for over 400 miles of range. Rivian owners that get minor body damage should consider looking beyond company authorized body shops for service and the UAW gets a huge concession from GM on battery plants.
