TWC Podcast #70: An Ed Talk

By The Watt Car Staff — June 9, 2022

It’s a thought-provoking episode this week as we head back two years to a TEDx talk that needs a little unpacking. Along the way, we discuss EV efficiency compared to raw ICE and hybrid powertrains, electricity sources, pollution, climate change, battery life, human rights issues, and more.
