TWC Podcast #166: Rimac Inside
By The Watt Car Staff — April 11, 2024
Turns out, supercar producer Rimac might be getting into other EVs via its increasingly efficient battery technology. We jump into that topic on this week’s podcast, but before we do, we discuss the politics of EVs, recent state legislation, EV and hybrid Q1 sales, a fantastic Tesla financing option (although only in China), and more!
