⚡️🔋🚛 Ever wondered how much an #electric #semi truck weighs compared to a traditional truck? Are semis and commercial fleets are ready to go electric? ⚡️🔋🚛 Really enjoyed our conversation with Rustam Kocher about all things #ElectricTrucking ranging from Megawatt Charging Standard (#MCS) to building out the infrastructure for #charging big rig #EVs. Our conversation was so in-depth I had to break it into two parts. Part two will go live next Wednesday at 8:30 am PST. (Full episode links in the comments) 👍 Please like, comment and especially share with others in the industry who can benefit from these insights! #EV #Technology #Sustainability #GridConnections #ElectricTransportation #infrastructure #automotive #automotiveindustry #auto #electrictrucks #evcharginginfrastructure #EVCharging

🚗🔌 #EVs or Plug-in #Hybrids: Which is the Future of Transportation?🔌🚗 In this clip from the latest episode of the Grid Connections podcast, Jonny Lieberman of MotorTrend Group answers the age old question: Which is truly the better choice, Electric Vehicles (EVs) or Plug-in Hybrids (#PHEVs)? On one side, EVs are hailed for their zero emissions, mountains of torque, and potential for a cleaner future. On the other, PHEVs offer flexibility, combining electric power with the reliability of traditional fuel. Both have their pros and cons, but which one will ultimately lead us into a sustainable future? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Are you team EV or team PHEV? 🌍🔋🚙 #Sustainability #ElectricVehicles #HybridCars #GridConnectionsPodcast #GreenTech #Auto #Transportation

🚗⚡️🔋 Will #Hybrids Replace #EVs as the Future of Passenger Vehicles? 🚗⚡️🔋 In this week's episode, John McElroy, Loren McDonald and Matt Teske return to discuss some of the predictions we had for #EVs in 2024. In this clip we discuss how recent regulation changes have led #legacy #auto to build and sell more hybrids than EVs. Is this a smart strategy for legacy automakers long term while #Tesla, domestic #EV startups and #Chinese #automakers continue to grow and focus on enhancing their EVs? #ElectricVehicles #HybridCars #AutomotiveIndustry #Sustainability #Innovation #EVMarket #FutureOfMobility #AutoTrends #GreenTechnology #Transportation

🚗⚡️🔋 How Can Automakers Stand Out and Sell More EVs? 🚗⚡️🔋 Really enjoyed my conversation with John McElroy, Loren McDonald and Matt Teske on today's episode of the Grid Connections podcast. We looked back at some of the predictions we had for EVs and the #EV industry in 2024. We reviewed our previous predictions for the EV market in 2024. Some of our forecasts have come true, while others (including mine) were a bit off. 🤷♂️ In this clip, we delve into the challenges automakers face in aligning their core brand identities and engineering strengths with the shift to electrification. Without a clear EV-focused brand positioning, it's not only tougher for manufacturers to deliver a compelling product, but also harder to effectively market its benefits to consumers. #ElectricVehicles #EV #AutomotiveIndustry #Sustainability #Innovation #EVMarketing #FutureOfMobility
