Quick Charge

An all-new 650 hp Cadillac, Hertz is selling off more EVs, and something weird at Tesla


Listen Later

On today's exciting episode of Quick Charge, we've got the Vistiq! It's all-new, three row SUV from Cadillac that packs 650 hp and can go from 0-60 mph in under 3.5 seconds, a serious word from Rivian, and something fishy at Tesla.

We've also got word that Hertz is selling off even more of its Tesla and Polestar electric vehicle fleet due to the collapsing resale value of Tesla's cars, and I share some of my experiences at this past weekend's Electrify Expo in Austin.

Today’s episode is sponsored by BLUETTI, a leading provider of portable power stations, solar generators, and energy storage systems.
