The EVs for Everyone Podcast

Ep. 217: WATT'S SO FUNNY? Electric Batmobiles, Tesla's Optimus Robot and a Noise Citation


Listen Later

Detroit based stand-up comedian, Joel Sankey joins the show to humorously explore the eccentric world of EVs, delivering laughs and sharp commentary. He muses on whether Batman would swap his legendary Batmobile for Mahindra's BE 6 Batman Edition, which features "Bat Signal" puddle lights and custom engine sounds, available to just 300 fortunate buyers. We also poke fun at the ridiculousness of a Dodge Charger EV driver receiving a ticket for a non-existent loud exhaust. Then the conversation shifts to Tesla's Optimus robot, comparing its unsettling hands to a scene from a sci-fi film and discussing whether or not "getting a Coke in SalesForce's kitchen" is the beginning of the end of the human race. Finally, Joel examines Car and Driver's list of upcoming EVs, speculating which might actually hit the roads and when he can put his order in for the Mercedes Luxury Van (2026). Need a laugh today? We gotchu.
