Join Robert for June’s Almost Breaking News! In this episode, we’re talking BYD’s five-minute ‘Megawatt’ chargers and CATL’s claim that they are able to produce sodium-ion batteries at a cost of $10 per kWh! We cover the environmental costs of ChatGPT, how the California grid ran for 98 days on 100% renewables with zero blackouts and the latest on VW’s entry-level EV which is estimated to cost below £22,000! Finally, Robert gives us a whistle-stop review of the Abarth 600e!
