TWC Podcast #40: The Citroën Ami Demon Edition?
By Phil Royle – Nov. 11, 2021
Is there a dark underbelly to over-the-air updates? Is the delivery variant of the Citroën Ami a 28 mph Dodge Demon? Is the Genesis GV60 EV crystal ball inherently flawed? The answer to these questions is probably “maybe,” as The Watt Car Podcast hosts happily ponder this week’s biggest electrification questions. Also in the news, the Hyundai Group prepares to unveil more EVs, VW CEO Herbert Diess is in hot water (and then out of hot water), Ford unveils an F-100 Eluminator EV conversion, the U.S. infrastructure bill moves forward, and more!
