TWC Podcast, Episode 12: Hitting the limitations of physics
By Phil Royle – April 29, 2021
Hosts Phil Royle and Edward A. Sanchez jump in this week with Honda’s surprising EV revelation, which Phil then ties into Hino Motors, REE, and Toyota in some obscure way. From there, it’s hypercar talk with Rimac performance testing before the conversation moves on to the latest from Byton, ABB, the proposed U.S. infrastructure bill, and late breaking news.
