BMW M3 EV Revealed & Robocars At CES + Will EV Sales Crash In 2026? | InsideEVs Podcast Ep57

From InsideEVs.

Patrick is back from CES, where Chinese cars, robotaxis and human-like robots were front and center. BMW dropped details on the absolutely insane, quad-motor electric M3 sedan. And now that all the numbers are in, the guys break down what happened to EV sales in 2025—and look forward to 2026—with the help of Cox’s Stephanie Valdez Streaty.

In Plus/Minus, Patrick and Tim discuss whether Geely can really make a play in the United States and why GM CEO Mary Barra still thinks EVs are “the end game.”
