Joe and I finally met in person at the beginning of the Pasadena EVSummit. Not wanting to waste a moment, we did this podcast while driving the new Mercedes EQS450.

Joe returns from working too hard, and Jon goes off on a rant about unions, their value, but in his opinion misplaced priority in the BBB infrastructure bill. Also, we talk about Jons childhood fantasies of the Audi Quatro battling the Lancia's, and the announcement of the Lancia Delta EV 2022 World Rally Cross Entry, Chevy Bolts continue to explode, Doug DeMuro Highest Ever Pickup Score for Rivian R1T, Update to Ford Mustang - Fast Charges above 80, VW ID4 - Wy wife is using mine all the time and 2022 Range Improvements, and the lunacy that was the comments section of Tom's Lucid Charging State of Charge video. 

No Joe this week, so just me, alone, late at night, tired after too many 18 hour days. Firstly, at the end of the episode, you can catch the set, that I hope will be the start of my commercial comedy career - there is bad language. In the podcast - Tesla Prices Up, ID6 And Q5 Etron, Kia EV6 achieves 250 miles, Chevy closes Bolt plant for rest of year, working through recall, Enphase acquires Clippercreek,  Lucid Car of the Motor Trent Car of the Year and 303Kw , 1M EVs Sold in California, Ford & Rivian Break Up.
