TWC Podcast #85: Tedious and Fiddly

By The Watt Car Staff — Sept. 22, 2022

Tesla now offers a CCS adapter in the U.S., but is physically plugging in too tedious and fiddly for new EV owners? If so, wireless charging might be the answer. While wireless EV charging was a bit of a pipe dream a few years back, now the time might be right. Beyond that, is California banning internal combustion big trucks by 2040, how expensive is an electric school bus, and can Nitro Rallycross finally make electric motorsports cool? There’s all of this and more on this week’s TWC podcast.
