Episode 172

The EV4E world tour is coming to a close (4 cities in 7 days) but I’m not stopping! Here’s your top 3 EV stories of the week: global electric vehicle sales surged 40% in March 2025 to 1.7 million units, defying U.S. tariff disruptions, with China and Europe driving growth. Tesla’s European sales plummeted 49% amid aging models and backlash over CEO Elon Musk’s political ties, though a new Model Y offers hope. The New York International Auto Show, starting April 16, showcases electrifying debuts like Kia’s EV4, Subaru’s Trailseeker EV, and Hyundai’s Palisade. Despite trade challenges, the EV market’s resilience and innovation shine through.
