223: Branding That Doesn’t Matter
Does branding matter? Yes! Does it matter for GM’s Ultium technology and Toyota’s bZ4X crossover EV? Probably not, and on this week’s podcast, we talk about why.

221: Rose Colored Glasses?
This week’s episode of The Watt Car EV Podcast is a little different. From local EV car shows to exploring Rove charging, podcast hosts Ed Sanchez and Phil Royle discuss what’s on their minds. For example, when it comes to themed EV charging like Tesla’s forthcoming drive-in, is Tesla viewing the future with the same rose colored glasses that “technologists” did in the 1950s? Has Tesla’s reputation been irreparably damaged by Elon Musk? And the big one: Is Dodge’s Fratzonic EV exhaust actually cool?

220: But Wait, There’s More
Tesla Q1 earnings underwhelm, but aren’t a surprise. Also not a surprise was Subaru updating its Solterra specs. What was a surprise was Subaru’s “but wait, there’s more” vehicle, the Trailseeker EV, which is what the Solterra should have been all along — or is it? We pick it apart.

219: Slowing Their Roll
Forgive us — this week’s podcast was recorded before Trump changed the tariff situation again. Despite that, what we cover on this episode is very applicable because tariffs still exist, Elon Musk is still controversial, and political decisions that are currently being made might slow the roll for other EV manufacturers as they look toward their own global expansion.

Zeekr announces 1,200 kW charging, but offers no details. Is this a plan, or a concept of a plan to counteract when BYD recently spoke of its 1,000 kW consumer-grade charging?

217: NEMA Tackles the Power Export Gap
On this week’s podcast, we welcome guest Steve Griffith (NEMA’s Executive Director, Regulatory & Industry Affairs, Mobility) to discuss NEMA’s recent Power Export Permitting Standard, which aims to standardize Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) / Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technologies. If widely adopted, NEMA’s standard should enable a smooth transition into a versatile and robust electrical infrastructure. In other words, this could be a game changer.

208: Hitched to the Wrong Wagon(eer)
First drives are out for Jeep’s first EV on U.S. soil, and the reviews are…mixed. The bigger question, though, might be whether the Wagoneer S is branded incorrectly from the get-go. Also on this week’s podcast, we talk about whether Cadillac’s Lyriq-V will be a hit, what Porsche Cayman EV spy shots reveal, whether Honda can make a $30,000 EV for the American market, and what powers Trump’s anti-EV executive orders actually wield.

207: There’s No There There
Trump’s back in the Oval Office, and with it comes a new direction for EVs. Namely, from infrastructure funding to emissions regulations, Trump is attempting to erase everything that’s happened in the last four years. What does this mean for EVs and the United States?
