America’s Back-To-Gas Era, BMW’s Hydrogen X5 + Volvo’s Software Botch | InsideEVs Podcast Ep43

From InsideEVs.

That whole EV thing was fun while it lasted, right? America is going back to gas, as electric models from the Acura ZDX to the Nissan Ariya hit the chopping block. Patrick and Tim break down how we got to this moment, and why electric cars are here to stay.

Plus, BMW announced the iX5 Hydrogen, hitting the market in 2028, and Volvo is trying to put the EX90’s software headaches behind it.

In Plus/Minus, the guys discuss how the Yangwang U9 became the world’s fastest car and Warren Buffett’s big BYD investment.
