TWC Podcast #110: Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad
By The Watt Car Staff — March 16, 2023
Is the unveiling of the three-row Kia EV9 SUV super exciting or kinda boring? The answer is yes, in all the best ways, and we tell you why on this week’s podcast. We also discuss the VW ID. Buzz that’s slated to make its U.S. debut this summer, we talk about a ride-along in a Canoo equipped with steer-by-wire, we chat about the Lexus RZ 450e that also features a steer-by-wire setup, and we ponder how Tesla’s Supercharger with the Magic Dock managed to only charge two out of three EVs in a recent test. But as Meat Loaf said, two out of three ain’t bad.
