From The EV Geek.
In this episode of "The Friday Charge," Joel and Sebastian discuss major EV news from March 13th, 2026. R2 is finally here — we spent this episode tearing through Rivian’s full reveal (trim breakdown, pricing, range, and what the launch edition actually includes) and then bounced around Lucid’s midsize tease, Mercedes’ wild luxury van, Chevy’s new Bolt charging behavior, and some surprising — and kind of brutal — news from Honda.
