About this episode

BMW's new iX3 electric SUV has made waves with its impressive 500-mile range and rapid charging capabilities, setting a competitive price point at $60,000. The episode also discusses Tesla's hints at a Cyber SUV and GM's record EV sales, with over 21,000 units sold in August. Additionally, Hyundai and Kia report strong sales figures, while the podcast touches on battery recycling advancements from Jaguar Land Rover and the ongoing challenges of stolen charging cables in Germany. A humorous story about a Dodge Charger EV receiving a noise citation adds a light-hearted touch.
