By Phil Royle – May 27, 2021
Lightning strikes again on this week’s podcast, with co-hosts Edward A. Sanchez and Phil Royle discussing the Ford F-150 Lightning once more. The elephant in the room, however, is charging while connected to a trailer. Therein, Ed makes a shocking admission. The conversation then meanders to Ioniq 5 U.S. release information, Level 1 vs. Level 2 home charging, battery recycling, and more.
