Quick Charge

Help with fractions, EV sales up, a $50K Lucid, and solar is bigger in Texas


Listen Later

On today’s spectacular episode of Quick Charge, we bust the myth of slowing EV sales by teaching journalists how to do math. We also check out the new, $50,000 mainstream Lucid and break the news to California that they're not #1 anymore.

We also mark Greenlane's groundbreaking (literally!) flagship EV charging station for big trucks, and talk up Rivian's Top Safety Pick+ status, making it unique among little trucks. All this and more – enjoy!
