197: We’ve Got Tens of Them
By The Watt Car Staff — Nov. 14, 2024
Something is afoot with CARB’s ZEV requirements, and it has the potential to utterly derail the entire motorhome industry in six states starting in 2025. This being an EV podcast, we’re hardly saying ZEVs are a bad goal, but the devil is in the details — so let’s look at those details. We also discuss Lucid cop cars, Cadillac three-row SUVs, and more.
