Tim and colleague Suvrat Kothari kick things off by discussing Suvrat’s trip to General Motors’ battery development center in Michigan. They explain why GM’s new LMR batteries could be the key to cheaper electric trucks. Then the guys recap the House’s latest move to end the $7,500 tax credit and talk about why this would be bad for the EV industry.
Finally, they discuss Toyota’s onslaught of new electric models and a very strange tweet from the head of the EPA.
