Description:

In this episode of Kilowatt, I discuss recent advancements in electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy, including a groundbreaking battery swap technology for semi-trucks by CATL, aimed at launching 300 stations in China by 2025. I cover Nikola Motors’ auction of hydrogen trucks amid bankruptcy and Rivian's $1 billion investment from VW Group for their R2 and R3 models. The episode also addresses Tesla's Cybertruck trade-in values and regulatory scrutiny of the upcoming RoboTaxi service. I conclude with Tesla's trademark challenges and an upcoming interview with Clockwork Energy on DC fast charging innovations.
