In today's show, we talk about how far an EV can truly take you versus what the manufacturers advertise. We'll take a look into the recent lawsuit slapped on Tesla by its Californian owners, claiming that the company has been falsely marketing the estimated driving ranges of its EVs. We discuss how factors like temperature and speed can significantly influence the battery life of your vehicle, hence the range.   Gabe Shenhar from Consumer Reports is lending us his expertise on the subject of actual EV range vs the claims.  An investigation into the performance testing criteria of popular EV models like Tesla Model Y, Ionic 5, VW ID4, and Ford Mustang Mach-E, revealed some unexpected results. Imagine your EV range dropping by 25% in frosty conditions and by a whopping 31% during warm temperatures! We'll decode these intriguing findings and talk about the EPA testing criteria and the reporting process followed by manufacturers.  We also will have the Race Card running through the NHRA, NASCAR, Formula One, and Indycar. In our Feature Segment, we have lineup of the five popular drag racing movies! Make sure to tune in every Saturday from 8 to 11amCT on iHeart Radio, the new In Wheel Time Car Talk app in the App Store, with a video simulcast on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, Twitter and our website.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!---- ----- Want more In Wheel Time car talk any time?
