Quick Charge

Cybertruck stalls, Windrose invades, & we talk EV3 with Kia’s James Bell


Listen Later

In today's truck-heavy episode of Quick Charge, we explore the Cybertruck's sales slowdown, interview Kia's James Bell about the future of the Korean brand's commercial vehicle efforts, and talk about the new Chinese semi brand that's coming to America.

We also touch on the new Chargepoint universal charging port, some of the "white space" that Kia's EV3 and EV9 will continue to enjoy in the marketplace, and whether or not Windrose's efforts to bring manufacturing the US are about import tariffs, or something else entirely.
