    BONUS PODCAST: How Northvolt Collapsed And What It Means For EVs
    Mar 13 2025
    Northvolt, once Europe's most promising battery manufacturer and brightest hope for challenging Asian dominance in the electric vehicle battery sector, filed for bankruptcy in Sweden on March 12, 2025, following months of financial struggle.
    The Swedish battery maker had previously sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States in November 2024 but ultimately failed to secure the necessary funding to continue operations.
    Despite raising over $10 billion in capital since its founding in 2016 and securing contracts with major automakers, Northvolt succumbed to a combination of production challenges, market pressures, strategic missteps, and intensifying competition from Asian manufacturers.
    The bankruptcy represents not just the failure of a single company but potentially a major setback for Europe's ambitions to establish battery manufacturing independence and accelerate its transition to electric mobility.

    BONUS PODCAST: Tesla CEO Promises To Double U.S. Production
    Mar 13 2025
    Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced plans to double the company's U.S. vehicle production within the next two years.
    This ambitious commitment came on March 11, 2025, shortly after the United States President publicly said he would purchase a Tesla as a show of support for the electric vehicle manufacturer and its embattled CEO.
    Musk explicitly framed this production expansion as a demonstration of support for Republican policies and confidence in America's economic future.

  • BONUS PODCAST: Toyota To Avoid Emissions Fines With 9 New EVs

    BONUS PODCAST: Toyota To Avoid Emissions Fines With 9 New EVs
    Mar 13 2025
    Toyota said today they’re finally getting serious about its electric vehicle strategy, announcing nine new fully electric models for Europe by the end of 2026.
    The Japanese automaker, long criticized for not only its cautious approach to EVs, but actively trying to dissuade buyers from going electric or running ads to slow down the adoption of zero emission mobility, is now accelerating its electric ambitions.
    Today they unveiled an updated bZ4X, the all-new C-HR+, and the compact Urban Cruiser, along with a peek at what's coming next.
