From The EV Geek.
Tesla’s new “Dual Motor All‑Wheel Drive” Cybertruck at $59,990, a Volvo EX30 battery recall, Waymo driverless taxi expansion, and Nissan shelving a cheap Leaf — we break it all down on today’s Friday Charge. Tune in for fast, opinionated EV news, ownership insights, and charging tips from Joel & Sebastian at EV Geek Studios.
What you’ll learn:
– Full breakdown of Tesla’s new Cybertruck trim (what’s included, 325‑mile range, $59,990 intro price, the 10‑day pricing window and that odd “April 2027” delivery note). Keywords: Tesla Cybertruck, dual motor all‑wheel drive, Cybertruck pricing.
– Why Volvo recalled ~40,000 EX30s and what owners should do now — charging limits and safety advice. Keywords: Volvo EX30 recall, battery fire risk.
– Waymo’s expansion to Dallas, Houston, San Antonio & Orlando and the shift from Jaguar I‑PACE to purpose‑built AVs. Keywords: Whimo driverless taxis, autonomous taxi service.
– Nissan’s delayed small‑battery Leaf and what that means for affordable EVs, plus Rivian R2 stakes and real-world charging trip notes (Francis Energy, EV charging reliability, Supercharger vs. public networks).
Why this matters: If you own or are shopping for an EV, these stories affect pricing, safety, charging strategy, and the future of driverless rides and mass‑market EVs.
