The Vegas FIles (and Other EV Stuff)
Episode 167
It’s day 4 in Vegas and I’m officially on the struggle bus. But alas, I’m here with the top 3 EV stories of the week. President Trump’s new 25% tariff on imported cars, starting April 3rd, threatens to jolt car prices skyward, though Tesla might dodge the worst of it. Rivian unveiled the luxurious RZ-1 SUV, a 400-mile-range beast with a solar twist, aiming to woo eco-elites for $95,000 a pop. Meanwhile, China’s BYD is sneaking past(?) tariffs by assembling their $20,000 Seagull Lite in Mexico, sparking Detroit’s ire and X’s meme machines. Oh and special thanks to everyone who recorded with me on-site at the EV Charging Summit and Expo in Vegas! Lot’s more charging content to come… And now, I sleep.
