TWC Podcast, Episode 17: Feeling like a Slurpee
By The Watt Car Staff – June 2, 2021
This week, The Watt Car podcast co-hosts Phil Royle and Edward A.Sanchez kick off the conversation with a survey that was obvious to anyone who has ever charged an EV: electric vehicle owners with a home Level 2 charger are happier. From there, the conversation hits the road with a 1,000 mile EV road trip, 7-Eleven gets into the EV charging biz, Ford is possibly sandbagging on the range of its F-150 Lightning, the Rimac C_Two is finally named, and more!
