Electrify Podcast

E-mobility is about more than just electric cars, and in this week's episode, Jo and Chris do their best to talk about all the other EVs coming out, including surfboards, scooters, and flying hovercrafts that definitely won't tear you to shreds.

Jo runs down the latest in EV news, including the Biden administration's $10 billion investment into EV infrastructure, Lincoln's electric SUV plans, and Porsche's version of an electric "Cannonball" run.

Meet Brent Seavy, one of Tesla's first employees who now runs X-Care, an extended-warranty company for Tesla owners, as they discuss the political nature of EVs and how his company came to be.

Jo really wants to talk about the hybrid Ford Maverick truck, we say goodbye to one of the first modern EV models, and the Volkswagen Buzz electric bus is a hippie van for hipsters.

New leaked photos reveal a smaller, less-sharp Cybertruck, the KIA EV6 gets a very competitive price, and the VW Bus is back as an EV. Really. For sure this time.

Electric vehicles are growing - literally - in every industry, and in this episode Jo talks about the BIG news from companies such as Bobcat, Kenworth, and BrightDrop - GM's electric delivery van company.

In this episode, Jo and Chris talk about Mopar EV charges, Taco Bell's wink at electric car owners, and two distinctly different styles of electric boats.

With 2021 a wrap and 2022 well underway, Jo takes on the Consumer Electronics Show and all the awesome EV news that came with it, including the Chrysler Airflow concept, the Chevy Silverado EV, the Sony Vision S concept, and the latest in self-driving tech.

With 2021 over, so is our first full season of episodes - with Jo and Chris talk about ebikes under the Christmas tree, Tesla using old batteries in new cars, and Hyundai's new EV is 80s old school cool.

Our fourth, and final Industry Day Panel from the Austin Electrify Expo event, "Delivering the Electric Future: What it Takes to Evolve" features panelists Michael McHale, Director of Brand Experience at Kia and Karl Popham, EV & Emerging Technology Manager at Austin Energy.
