Podcast appearances and mentions of chevy equinox

Remember when car guys road tested cars? With the current crossover SUV craze in full swing, those days seem to be over, and who are we to say it's a bad thing. In this week's episode of *America on the Road*, host Jack Nerad and co-host Chris Teague take the wheels of two five-seat SUVs: the all-new and mass-market-priced 2025 Chevrolet Equinox and the premium-oriented 2025 Mazda CX-70 Turbo S Premium. Chevrolet's 2025 Equinox enters its fourth generation with a tasteful redesign, both inside and out. Under the hood, it offers a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel-drive models are paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), while all-wheel-drive versions feature an 8-speed automatic transmission. The interior shows it modernity, boasting an 11-inch digital instrument cluster and an 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen powered by Google . It also offers something the battery-electric version of the Equinox doesn't, and we'll tell you what that is, along with our overall review of the attractive SUV, in our road test segment. With a starting price around $28,600, the Equinox might well grab your attention. But how does it compare to the leaders in the compact SUV segment? We'll offer our opinions. While co-host Chris Teague was putting the Chevy Equinox to the test, host Jack Nerad was piloting a fascinating newcomer— the 2025 Mazda CX-70 Turbo S Premium. A reasonably new Mazda nameplate, the CX-70 is a midsize SUV that doesn't shy away from performance. Equipped with a 3.3-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine delivering 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, it offers a spirited driving experience. At least as spirited a a midsize crossover is likely to be. The handsome SUV features a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, standard all-wheel drive, and a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds. Inside, the CX-70 impresses with red Nappa leather seats, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 12.3-inch infotainment display. Additional amenities include a panoramic sunroof, a Bose 12-speaker audio system, and a comprehensive suite of safety features. Priced at $52,450, it positions itself as a high-value alternative to European luxury SUVs. But it does have a foible or two, which we'll describe in the road test segment. In the News Ram 1500 Express Returns: Ram announces the 2026 Ram 1500 Express, a value-focused pickup starting at $44,495, featuring bold styling and a choice between a 305-hp V6 or a 420-hp turbocharged I-6 engine. Mercedes-Benz Expands U.S. Production: Mercedes-Benz plans to produce a new vehicle at its Tuscaloosa, Alabama plant by 2027, aligning with its strategy to localize production amid rising U.S. tariffs. Congress Challenges California's Gasoline Vehicle Ban: The U.S. House of Representatives votes to repeal California's ban on gasoline car sales, sparking debates on consumer choice, environmental impact, and economic implications. Ford Cancels $10 Billion Software Initiative: Ford abruptly ends its ambitious FNV4 software project after significant investment, raising questions about the company's future in vehicle software development. Special Guest In this week's interview segment,Tyson Jominy, Vice President of Data and Analytics at J.D. Power, joins the show to discuss the impact of tariffs on the automotive industry and offers insights for consumers planning to purchase a vehicle this year.

Chevy's Equinox entered its fourth generation for the 2025 model year and moved away from the car-like styling of the previous generations. Instead, Chevrolet pushed the latest Equinox in the same truck-and-SUV-inspired direction as the rest of its latest Traverse. This more upright styling gives the latest Equinox a more aggressive direction. The latest Equinox also joins the fleet of GM vehicles to add a massive screen to its cockpit, which also anchors the interior. Despite the overhauls inside and out, Chevrolet stuck with the 1.5-liter turbocharged I4 from the previous generation, which feeds either a continuously variable transmission in front-wheel-drive models or an eight-speed automatic transmission when equipped with an all-wheel-drive system. On this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek's Patrick Carone hops behind the wheel of the 2025 Chevy Equinox and puts it through its paces. Carone takes you on a guided tour of the 2025 Equinox and highlights some of his favorite features. Later, Carone takes you on a live drive review of the latest Equinox. Adding to these segments, Carone chats with host Wesley Wren about the Equinox, the competition, and more. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes the '25 Chevy Equinox special. 

Skip the banter: 00:05:39 In November 2022, 22-year-old Jasmine Pace, a vibrant Chattanooga student with a heart full of love for her family and cats, vanished just before Thanksgiving. Grieving her grandmother's death, she climbed into her white Chevy Equinox after a tearful night, unknowingly driving toward a chilling mystery. A strange, out-of-character Facebook post in sexy lingerie—missing her recent tattoos—set off alarms. Her car, found abandoned with the seat pushed back too far for her petite frame, held secrets. Digital clues, a suspicious phone call, and a trail of blood lead to a truth too dark to fathom. Support us and become a Patron!

A silver Chevy Equinox EV glides silently through city streets—presenting a study in contrasts to the raw power of NASCAR's most intimidating drivers featured in today's jam-packed automotive roundup.Ford's quality control takes center stage as we dissect an alarming series of recalls affecting models across their lineup. From steering column shifters that may detach to unexpected vehicle movements and rearview cameras displaying incorrectly, these aren't just assembly issues—they're fundamental product design problems requiring immediate attention. The frequency and severity of these recalls raise serious questions about reliability and safety that potential Ford buyers should consider.Transitioning to market values, our Heming's Sold Car Roundup reveals fascinating insights into what collectors are willing to pay for automotive history. A 1963 Corvette Restomod commands a jaw-dropping $142,590 while a beautifully preserved 1978 Toyota FJ40 fetches $47,250. Meanwhile, a 2006 Maserati Quattroporte—once the pinnacle of Italian luxury—sells for a mere $21,000, proving that prestige doesn't always translate to lasting value. These auction results offer a window into the complex psychology of automotive investments, where sentiment often outweighs practicality.The highlight of our show arrives with Jeff's "Gangsters of NASCAR" feature, chronicling the sport's most fearsome competitors. From Dale Earnhardt's intimidating presence to Cale Yarborough's willingness to throw hands with the Allison brothers, these drivers didn't just compete—they dominated through force of will and fearless determination. As modern NASCAR evolves toward a more sanitized experience, these legends remind us of racing's raw, combative roots.We wrap with an extensive review of the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV, exploring its 319-mile range, one-pedal driving capability, and surprising interior spaciousness.

Shoot us a Text.With 2 days left in January, that means there are only 2 days left to get discounted tickets to ASOTU CON! Today, we're talking about VW potentially bringing manufacturing to the US to avoid tariffs, Honda planning to introduce a sub $30K EV in the US, and how iPhones can now text on the SpaceX Starlink satellite network.Show Notes with links:Volkswagen Group is exploring plans to build Audi and Porsche models in the U.S. if President Donald Trump imposes high tariffs on vehicle imports from Europe and Mexico. This proactive move aims to safeguard the brands from potential trade barriers that could significantly impact profitability.Unlike the VW brand, which already has U.S. production, Audi and Porsche models sold in the U.S. are currently imported, making them vulnerable to tariffs.VW's Chattanooga plant, which produces the VW Atlas and ID.4, has excess capacity and could be expanded for luxury models.Another option is VW's upcoming South Carolina plant for the Scout brand, which could also accommodate Audi production.A 10% tariff on European imports could reduce VW Group's profits by 5-10%, while a 25% tariff on Mexican imports could result in a 15% hit, according to Moody's.Honda is stepping into the affordable EV space with a sub-$30,000 electric vehicle that could hit U.S. dealerships as early as 2026. A third of Honda's global sales are EVs and it aims to boost its U.S. EV presence.The new EV will be locally built in Ohio, starting with battery production, to reduce costs.It will be a part of the new Honda 0 Series and will follow Honda's higher-end 0 Series SUV and sedan, expected to cost $50K–$60K.Honda sold over 33,000 Prologue SUVs last year, outperforming the Chevy Equinox and Cadillac Lyriq, despite sharing GM's Ultium platform.The affordable EV could compete directly with GM's next-gen Chevy Bolt, also slated for a 2026 launch at a similar price point.Apple's latest iPhone update gives T-Mobile users access to SpaceX's Starlink network, marking a new era of connectivity.iOS 18.3 introduces support for SpaceX and T-Mobile's direct-to-cell satellite texting, meaning text messaging via satellite in areas without cellular coverageThe feature was previously limited to select Android devices, including Samsung models.Beta testers have begun receiving texts confirming access to satellite messaging.Future updates aim to add voice and data capabilities for complete off-grid connectivity.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Shoot us a Text.The end of the year is finally here, and so we're looking back, covering the top 10 best-selling vehicles of 2024. Plus, we talk about a unique $0 down and $0 monthly payment Fiat lease as well as reflect on some of our most memorable moments.Show Notes with links:Hybrid electric-gas cars had a banner year in 2024, achieving record sales. With a shift in buyer demographics, these vehicles bridged the gap for consumers seeking efficiency and practicality without fully committing to electric vehicles.A shift from early adopters to budget-conscious shoppers drove hybrid demand. Many buyers appreciated the lower costs and simpler integration into daily life compared to EVs.Here are 2024's top 10 best-selling vehicles. 10. Chevy Equinox. 9. Honda Civic 8. Nissan Rogue 7. Toyota Camry 6. Toyota Corolla 5. Tesla Model Y (only true EV on the list) 4. Chevy Silverado 1500 3. Honda CR-V 2. Toyota RAV4 1. Ford F-150 (America's best-selling vehicle for 47 years, with 20% of buyers opting for the hybrid version)The top three all have hybrid options that did especially well this year, and about half of all RAV4 and CR-V sales are hybrids, according to Edmunds.“Hybrids this year became an extremely easy default decision for someone who doesn't want to go full electric but wants basically 70% or 80% of benefits” said Ivan Drury of Edmunds.Who says driving electric has to break the bank? A Fiat dealership in Colorado pulled off the seemingly impossible: a lease deal on the 2024 Fiat 500e that truly costs $0 down and $0 a month. The deal covers a 27-month term, 10,000 miles per year, with just $1,300 in state taxes and fees due upfront.Larry H. Miller Chrysler-Dodge-Ram-Fiat Denver moved over 60 cars in three days, using over $15,000 in federal and state incentives, plus factory discounts, to enable this unheard-of lease offer.Colorado's state incentives decrease in 2025, and federal EV credits are under scrutiny, meaning deals like this are less likely in the future.David Gluckman of Car & Driver leased one of the cars, and commented on the dealership's challenges with such a unique agreement: “I was warned, apologetically, that there was a chance I might have to re-sign some of the paperwork because the dealer's computer system didn't know how to handle a lease with no payment… A funny formality: They still had to run a credit check to confirm my ability to (not) pay.”As we close out the year, we look back at some of our most memorable moments.

On today's informative episode of Quick Charge, we've got Honda engineers Jason Hwang and Emilio Sanchez to talk us through some of the things that make the GM Ultium-based Honda Prologue EV feel like a real Honda, and why that matters.

Welcome to another amazing week in Retail Auto as we give a progress report on the strike as well as some uncomfortable moments for Mary Barra and Jim Farley. We also talk about Lithia's largest acquisition to date, as well as Tesla landing the first EV on the leasing Top 10 list. Show Notes with links:“Progress is slow,” and “I don't really want to say we're closer.” was the sentiment communicated by UAW President Shawn Fain on MSNBC's “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”The UAW resumed talks with GM on Sunday, and will do so with Stellantis and Ford on Monday. In a Friday press conference, Fain said “it could be in a day, it could be in a week.”Also over the weekend both GM CEO Mary Barra on CNN and Ford CEO Jim Farley on ABC were asked how they justify their compensation in light of the UAW demands for a pay increase. Both redirected the question and pointed out that the offers that are on the table are historically generous.The largest auto group in the US, Lithia, continues its expansion with its largest acquisition to date. But it's not in the US and it's not just about dealerships, it's also about software. Lithia Motors Inc. intends to purchase Pendragon's dealership and fleet business, which includes 160 retail locations in the U.K., primarily under the Stratstone or Evans Halshaw branding.The deal also includes acquiring Pendragon Vehicle Management, a vehicle fleet management platform with 15,000 to 20,000 vehiclesPinewood Technologies, a cloud based DMS, aims to stand as an independent software entity. With around 30,000 global users, the focus is on leveraging its cloud-based, tech-savvy software. Lithia, holding a 16.7% stake, plans a joint venture to introduce a Dealership Management System (DMS) to North America within the next three to five years.Overall, the Pendragon acquisitions are anticipated to add $4.5 billion in annual revenue to Lithia, making it their most significant purchase to date and bringing annual revenue over $38B. Their goal is $50B by 2025The Tesla Model 3 has become the first electric vehicle ever to enter the top 10 leased models in the U.S. according to a new report by ExperianRanking seventh in Q2, the Model 3 accounted for 1.79% of leased new vehicles, with approximately 25% of the 42,000 new Model 3s retailed during that period being leased, marking a 14-point surge from the previous year.In the second quarter, the top 10 leased vehicles in the U.S. were the Ford F-150 (2.52%), Honda CR-V (2.48%), Nissan Rogue (2.26%), Chevy Silverado 1500 (2.18%), Jeep Grand Cherokee (1.97%), Chevy Equinox (1.82%), Tesla Model 3 (1.79%), Honda Civic (1.7%), Ram 1500 (1.66%), and Jeep Wrangler (1.64%).Recent months have seen a spike in EV leasing, partly due to an expanded array of models qualifying for federal tax incentives when leasedHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

It's Detroit auto show wrap up week! Spoiler alert, Chris and Charlie sat in a Chevy Equinox! Ooooo. That's okay though, because last week had two stellar cars, the Porsche 911 GT3 and the Mazda CX-5 Signature. Two very different methods of transportation but both very good at their missions. After waxing poetic over the GT3, Chris and Charlie turn their sights on this week's cars, a 2023 Chevrolet Traverse High Country and a 2023 Volvo V60 Cross Country B5. Stay tuned for which one they'd have (it's the Volvo). Enjoy!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/daily-motor-podcast/donations

The IEA has a number for the required solar to halt climate change and it's being built right now! Heat waves make people angry, Californians respond to text alert to save power and blackouts were averted. Tesla's production cost per vehicle is 42% of what it was just five years ago and it's not due to falling battery prices. Some grids in the US have so much excess power, prices are often going negative. They pay you to use power. This is going to become common as we move forward with decarbonization. The specs for the Chevy Equinox have been announced and it's clearly going to make the Chevy Bolt EUV obselete instantly.  James's son's geology professor says there's not enough lithium for 100% electric car sales. He's wrong. Thanks for listening to our show! Consider rating The Clean Energy Show on iTunes, Spotify or wherever you listen to our show. Follow us on TikTok! Check out our YouTube Channel!

I'm Brian Stockton. BBC News Anchor: We're interrupting our schedules for the following announcement. Buckingham palace has announced the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Brian: What is this, the London Bridge protocol? James: Yes. We've been waiting decades for this, and it's finally happened. Brian: No. Podcasts do not have to follow the London Bridge protocol. Come on. They don't it's fine. But I will say the Queen is dead. Long lived the king. James:I'm James Whittingham. This week, my son's geology prof says there's not enough lithium to go 100% electric anytime soon. I promptly advised my son to quit university and educate himself on Facebook. This week. California didn't have enough power. While other grids in the US. Have so much excess power, prices are often going negative. If I can get the grid to pay me to use my fancy coffee machine, I'll be rich. Tesla's production cost per vehicle is 42% of what it was just five years ago. And it's not due to falling battery prices. It's actually Elon Musk not having to buy horses anymore due to the woke mob. Okay, I don't understand that, Joe. Really? No, I don't. He got a massage and promised a woman a horse. I got it. The California power grid avoided severe blackouts after sending a text alert to citizens. The text said, you up, followed by turn off your lights. All that and more on this edition of the Clean Energy Show. And Brian, this week we also have something from Bloomberg opinion that says the energy transition and its supply chain are at what we need to beat climate change. Already. It's already being constructed. It's quite remarkable. Even apparently, lithium. Yes, high temperatures are making people angrier online. And how are you this week? I'm good. So here's my two updates. I got the latest full self driving update on my Tesla, which is it a big one. Yeah, it's a big 110.69.2. This is the first update I've had since actually getting the full self. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, it's the only one I've had since getting the full self driving software. Only had it a day, only used it once, and it still did that. Same thing where a lot of our streets don't have a line painted down the middle, and it's two lanes, and it started to drift to one side, so I canceled it and just kept driving. Well, Joy? Yeah. And he says they're going to be out by the end of the year. Come on. Yeah, well, a lot of the testing miles have been done in California, so it sounds like the software works way better in California. And we are, sadly, many miles from California, so it's going to be a bit of a struggle here for a while, I think. Do they paint the streets of California? Is that the issue? We don't paint them here. Yeah. Well, I'm assuming all the roads are better in California, but the grass is always greener, as they say, although not during a drought. But anyway, my other updates so I think I said last week, I've applied for the Greener Homes grant, which is Canada's subsidy for retrofitting your home to put in clean energy stuff, insulation. And I'm still hoping to do a heat pump, an air source heat pump for my house, get rid of my furnace. So the process is moving. I've been approved. I'm in the program. They can't do the blower test. So what they do is a blower test on your house to test the tightness of the house, and then you do the upgrades, and they do another one. But because our ceiling, the drywalls opened up in the ceiling in the kitchen, because we were trying to fix those leaks, they can't do the blower test right away. But anyway, I just wanted to mention that I am hoping to go through this process. This is what it's available in Canada, and as we've covered on the show before, the new Inflation Reduction Act in the US. If you're in the US. There's lots of kind of similar subsidies for home improvements and upgrades and energy efficient appliances and vehicles and everything. And of course, different states and different provinces all have incentives, too. And like, our natural gas utility has a little bit of incentive to go to higher efficiency furnaces, gas furnaces and stuff. So anybody listening, always check your local area, your local state, your local province to see what the possible subsidies are. Okay, well, the Chevy Equinox, they finally announced the specs on it. Yeah. So this is the next big electric vehicle from General Motors, which is an SUV that's going to be at a reasonable price. They said this is a small SUV under $30,000 US. Is that cheaper than the Bolt? It's not cheaper than the Bolt now because they lower the Bolt in the US. But the equivalent Canadian pricing would put it lower, I think, than the Canadian pricing, current Canadian pricing of the bolt and worldwide as well. Yeah, and if that's the price for the Equinox, one would think they would eventually drop the bolt below that because that's a smaller car. The Equinox is actually making it hard for me to buy a Bolt because of two reasons. One, it'll render the Bolt obsolete. Even if it's really close in price, it's a bigger vehicle, seems like a better vehicle. It's not as well fitted. Maybe they have some bare bones stuff with the base model. You get a power driver's seat on the base model of the boat and a few other nice things. In Canada, you get ten years of connectivity, or eight years of connectivity. A long time of connectivity. Maybe it's five, but it's a few years. That cover most of your ownership, usually. So I'm just worried about it. Plus, they got the LTM battery pack with that. So that should be approved to charge faster, three times as fast. Peak charging doesn't mean that it's going to charge three times as fast, but the peak charging is three times as fast. So that's what the big drawback of the Bolt is. Well, it's size and it's charging speed on the highway. Well, and I think we're still in a situation where if you decide you want one, you're going to have to head down to GM as soon as you can and kind of put down a deposit because the supplies are going to be limited, especially where we live. So I think that's going to be the situation for the next couple of years, no matter which electric vehicle you decide to buy. And it's going to be at least two years before I get a base model of the Equinox. But let's say I have a four year loan or four year lease of a Bolt. Maybe leasing is the way to go because the Bolt could be under severe price pressure. Right. If the price does go down and I bought the vehicle, then I've got like a dud on it when I'm trying to sell it in three or four years to get an equal option, but at least would give you a sort of a guaranteed buyout price or something. Yeah, but at least they're not too sexy with their offers on the leasing right now. So I really don't know what to do. So I got a message from my son at his geology class. It's not basic geology, it's engineering related. Geology is something that requisite that he's taking. And he says the prof was going on about not having enough lithium. Like this was the day that California solidified their 100% electric vehicles by 2035. Well, he says there's no way, no way in hell, because there's not enough lithium. He's a geologist. He knows there's not enough lithium. That's not true, though. No. From what I understand, and I'm not a lithium expert, but apparently you are, it's not so much that there's plenty of lithium. It's the processing of the lithium that's the difficult part to make it usable for batteries. Yeah. So I looked it up, and I found some sources in the journal Nature, and lithium itself is not scarce, as you said. But a June report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimated that the current reserves of the metal are around 20 million tons. And that's not enough to carry the conversion EVs through to mid century. So the actual amount there, it's the refinery of it, the mining of it. He said it takes ten years to mind to get well. Do your math. It's more than ten years away, and we're going to have a story later about the solar supply chain going gangbusters enough to actually beat climate change. And where there's a will, there's a way. And this is what's happening. Solar is ahead of everybody else. But batteries are coming now and there's money to be made. So presumably if there's money to be made, it seems possible that there will possibly be some lithium bottlenecks where we won't have all that we need. There was an announcement from Tesla recently that they are trying to get a lithium mine or processing plant going in Texas. So the fact that Tesla is getting into it indicates that, you know, maybe they are worried there's not quite enough lithium, but it's all part of the ramp, so I'm not worried. But, hey, I'm not a geology professor, and we're also going to talk about Tesla having an advantage because five, seven years ago, musk was talking about lithium and he was on top of this, wasn't he? No, I mean, this is the advantage of Tesla, is they've been working on all of these things for at least a dozen years now. They've got a nice head start in figuring this stuff out. We were just before we went to record, there was a threat in California of power blackouts, wasn't there? Yes. So they've got a crazy heat wave going on there and they were predicted just at the time that we were recording. They had managed to stave off blackouts for the previous couple of days, but it was all coming to a head just as we were recording our show last week. And they saved the grid. And how did they do it, James? They sent out a text message alert. Yeah. And Brian? It worked. It totally works. It's a crazy thing. It worked. People said, okay, I will turn off my draw up for a couple of hours, or whatever they do in California. And it worked. Yeah. No, I thought that was quite remarkable. There was some graphs posted online of, like, exactly when the text went out and how power dipped. Obviously not everybody's going to listen to that, but that is one of the advantages of everybody having a cell phone here in our province. We had a bunch of emergency alerts for safety reasons a couple of weeks ago, and they were quite alarming to get. Definitely necessary for everybody's safety. Certainly I want to be informed and stuff like that. So if you and I were living in California, we would absolutely have gone and turned off some lights, turned off some power hungry things, and clearly enough people think like us and did that as well. So I've got a pool pump running, right? Yeah, it's about 1000 watts. Wow. Yeah, it's not fun. Swimming pools are not the most environmental thing there, but heating, although you do run yours with thermal solar panels. I heated with solar, yeah, but there's chemicals and water. I should probably do an assessment of that and compare it to having a hot tub, because maybe a hot tub is more my thing. I like the freedom from gravity, Brian. That's what I've been really enjoying the last couple of years is the freedom from gravity. The fatter you are, the lighter you are in water. So I figure I wave it as much as I would on the moon. And can you put a bunch of salt in the water and be even more buoyant? You could, but I wouldn't be able to touch the ground and I don't think I would be walking around floating like a bob, bobbing up and down like a buoy. That's a horrible sight, especially in my speedo. I just bought a bunch of chemicals even after I closed the pool, because I had to. I have to keep it treated until it freezes. And then in the spring, I have to treat it again and kill all the LG. You have to do that with a hot tub, but it's less. But then you heat it. And I can't heat it with heat, with solar panels, but I can't heat it with my thermal heating. Anyway, the pool is closed in winter is here. And that emergency alert that we had, a Saskatchewan resolved itself. The person was caught and died in custody, for what it's worth, but I won't dwell on that. The fact is, Brian, 500,000 homes in California and businesses have been warned that they might lose service. And within five minutes it was all but over. That's all tough. It's five minutes. Maybe people are more conscious of energy demands these days. We never used to think about it before, but maybe now it's not such a crazy thing to send in a text. Yeah, I mean, I think maybe they'd run into problems if they were sending out one of these alerts every couple of days. Eventually people would get tired of it. But if they can limit themselves to once or twice a year, then they can keep people's attention and they'll do it. Maybe we'll have smarter homes. Like my pool pump runs on a smart timer, a smart switch. Maybe if I connected that to the power utility and allowed it to turn off, things like that, I don't know what else it would be. My air conditioner thermostat goes up a degree. Yeah, something like that. Well, actually, Apple has announced a new feature coming, I think with the next update of their iOS, their mobile software is apple is actually going to have a thing where your phone will only charge when there's the maximum amount of green electricity on the grid. They're going to figure out that's cool. Why don't we have a story about that? What's wrong with you? You're the apple guy here. This is it right now. Sorry about it. Tell me everything. Presumably it will figure this out for each jurisdiction because the grid is different every place. But yeah, it'll figure out when there's the most green power on the grid, and it will only charge your phone during that time. See, phones take a lot of power now. They take 20, 40, 50 watts, some tablets take 100 watts. Yeah, that's getting a little bit more serious, especially since we don't have 100 watt light bulbs anymore. We have Led light bulbs. No. And when you think about pretty much every single human being in North America has a smartphone. That's a few hundred million smartphones just in North America. So, yeah, that's a lot of juice when you add them all together. But I've said this before on the show, that I wanted to know when is the greenest time to charge my car? Because we live on a power grid that has 45% coal, something like that. And I want to know, is there more hydro in the mix at three in the morning than, say, if I plugged it in and charged it at seven in the night or something, or even during the day, the business day, and I couldn't get a response from the utility source power. I want to know that. I don't know if they know that. I hope they know that. But yeah, that's a very interesting question. So we'll have to see if Apple figures out our jurisdiction. Yeah, I'd be curious. Maybe they'd listen to Apple and not you. Well, maybe Apple figures it out and then I'll learn from that. And you will know when to charge our cars, because all electric cars have preset timers on them that you can do. A lot of them you can do from an app. And I don't have an app for mine because I bought the base model, but I do set a timer on it every time. Millions of Californians, though, received these alerts that the grid was apparel. Millions of them. Right, interesting. I just wonder, though, if we can integrate our homes into the power grid better, because we're getting smart meters on our house. So that tells the utility what's going on faster in real time. And maybe they can say, well, Joe Schmo at 205th Avenue uses a lot of electricity between five and seven, and he's crashing the grid. Maybe he could find something to cut down on, and maybe they wouldn't send an alert to somebody who has a trickle of electricity because they're gone during that time. Well, that makes me want to skip ahead to one of the stories we were going to have this week again from Bloomberg. And this is about negative power prices. And I've heard about this in the UK and in other jurisdictions, but I didn't realize it was happening quite so much in the US. And so this definitely relates to what we're talking about now. I think basically what you're just asking about here is basically the grid just isn't smart enough yet. It will eventually get there, and it's also not interconnected enough. So in the US, there is seven different utility grids and they're not all connected. It's basically seven regions of seven grids in certain places at certain times. There's excess wind and excess solar. So much so that they have too much power at certain times of the day. This results in negative pricing and encouraging people to just use extra power. And if the grid was further developed, was smarter, there's more home batteries connected to the grid, there's more EVs connected to the grid, and all of those can go either into the grid or out of the grid. That's going to eliminate these problems. So once you start hitting negative prices, boom, that's when your car charges. That's when your home battery charges. And it's coming, it's just going to take a long time. I thought we'd talk a little bit about Tesla this week because there's a lot going on and it's kind of interesting. One thing that I'll start with is a bit of information I learned on Twitter, and that is, you know how supercharger pricing is creeping up, right? It's getting more and more expensive all the time that Tesla sets the price for the superchargers. Yeah, it was super cheap. When I got my car two and a half years ago, it was almost nothing, just a few bucks a charge. And now it's more like 15, $20 a charge, which is annoying, but it's still way better than gas. And it is what it is. Well, now they're saying that it's now the equivalent of a 30 to 40 miles per gallon gas car, which isn't even that great because the Prius is 50 miles per gallon. So it's saying it's like that. Yeah, that's supercharging. By the way, November, you don't always supercharge. You mostly charge at home if you can. Yeah. So that's the caveat there. Yeah. So, yeah, it sucks to pay that much when you're on the road, but still way cheaper than gas. Yeah. And electricity is usually a lot cheaper at home. Plus, if you're like us, you have the option of making it even cheaper by if you can invest in some solar panels and you have a good enough situation with your local utility. Yeah. Martin Avisa, the vice president of investor relations at Tesla, said Monday during the presentation at the Goldman Sachs tech conference in San Francisco, tesla currently has all the supply it needs. This is courtesy of Business Insider. This is an interesting statement. This is a shift from Tesla is always supply constraints with their batteries. Now they have all they need. What happened? Well, it's just all that groundwork that they laid is starting to pay off, which is they basically just saw this coming before everybody else. And it's an obvious thing to you and me, it's like, okay, well, the world needs to get off oil. So what do you do? You do the math and it's like, well, guess what? We need an insane number of batteries. And Tesla figured this out ten or possibly as much as 20 years ago. And so they've been working on this problem for ten or 20 years, and they're just far ahead of the game because that's always been their ethos. It's like, well, no one else is doing it, so we have to do it ourselves. Since they were the first ones up to bat, as it were. So they've just got a big head start, and the other players are figuring it out too. And as we always say, there are announcements every week of new battery factories and such. So as a Tesla investor, it's great news that they are not constrained by battery supply. They're buying them from everybody that will sell them CATL and panasonic. And as well as starting to ramp up their own batteries, we're hitting the S curve of EV adoption, and it is constrained by supply. Yeah. If I want to order the bolt, I have to wait months and stuff like that. It's not just a chip shortage, right? Yeah. And I think there is still a bit of a chip shortage. So they didn't say, like the last I heard was that the chip shortage was the limiting factor for Tesla. They had enough batteries, but they were still a bit iffy on the number of chips. But this more recent statement suggests, okay, well, maybe they've got enough chips now. Well, the statement says, for the first time I can remember, we can access all the supply we need for both businesses. This is something startling as well. The price of manufacturing is only 42% of what it was five short years ago. And it's not due to battery prices falling as expected. It's due to factory design and large castings, like making one large piece of the car instead of a whole bunch of little ones. Efficiencies. Like that. Yeah. All the stuff they set up ten or 20 years ago is starting to pay off. That also makes me think they're making a killing on the markup. So the cars that they make in California at Fremont are a lot more expensive than China. Obviously, Santa Monroe thought they'd be 20% less than China, but they say also in Germany, they're cheaper to make in Germany as well. Yeah, just because it's the new factory with the new design. Their original factory in Fremont was something that they bought from somebody else and kind of had to repurpose it, and that kind of gave them the knowledge to, okay, if we're going to build this stuff from scratch, what's the better design, the more efficient design? And that's what they've got in Texas and Berlin and wherever else they might be building in the future. Yeah. So we have Tesla factories in China, in California, in Austin, Texas, and in Berlin, Germany, and who knows where else down the line. But those are the main ones that are coming online and starting to hit their stride in production, right? Yeah. And really, I think that would be the case if any Automaker was kind of starting up. Now, the problem that the legacy Automakers have is they've been in business for 100 years and they've been doing things a particular way. The businesses have grown in a particular way, and they don't have the luxury of just blowing everything up and starting over again and building new factories. They've kind of got a jerry rigged as they go along. So that turned out to be Tesla's big advantage, was the ability to start from scratch like that. Of course, it meant they nearly went bankrupt several times, but once they passed, once they got over the hump, it's all gravy from this point. Well, I thought it was interesting to know that 10% of the batteries are going into storage, because we had an email about that last week. I think there's an insatiable demand for storage as well. Obviously, it's just a matter of price. When the price hits a certain point, it's going to go crazy because the grid is greening and we need that storage. For yes, and from what I understand, they would maybe do more than 10% of the batteries to storage, but the profits are just way better in the cars. So 10% is all they can manage right now, but eventually more batteries, more grid stores, etc. For so you're basically just selling the batteries with a little bit of equipment, whereas the car is the batteries with a lot of equipment. And so the mark up comes from the bigger spend. So, yeah, it's quite remarkable. And it makes me think that the other manufacturers might be further behind than I thought, which is good if you're a Tesla investor like yourself, because the demand for electric car, man, I tell you, I see so many Teslas, I keep thinking it's you. And it's never you. It's never you. No. I was driving with my partner the other day and I said, look, I have an announcement to make. I'm now going to stop pointing out every Tesla that I see because it's just become too annoying. I used to do that. Hey, there's a Tesla. Hey, there's a Tesla. No more. So, yeah, if you're new to the podcast, full disclosure, I am a Tesla investor. Yeah. Wow. That's actually a big announcement, Brian, because I haven't stopped doing that, and my daughter hasn't stopped doing that. And sometimes she'll text me Tesla. That's what she'll say in the text. It's the punch buggy of our time, really. Exactly. So the supercharger, version four is apparently being set up in Arizona with a mega pack. That's the grid size, truck, container size, storage of batteries, and solar, which is something that Elon has been promising for years, that all superchargers would have a solar installation either adjacent to them or right on top or around them. No, that makes sense. We always see those renderings of the car park of the future where there are solar panels. You park underneath to protect your car from rain, but you also get some free solar charging. So eventually I think most car charging spots will include some solar. It's probably never enough to actually fully supply the cars, but that's fine. So we don't know the speed, the maximum charge rate of these new chargers. In fact, has there even been an announcement on it? I mean, what do we know? No, we don't know too much other than these are going to be prepared for cars other than Tesla's. More so than the other ones. There was going to be maybe a second cable, but now it's sounding more like it would be an adapter. There will be an adapter included with each one. So we think every Tesla charger can be adapted to charge non Teslas, but these ones are going to be designed that way. I wonder how they'll do that with the adapters so people don't steal them because they're worth hundreds of dollars. Yeah, hooked on with a wire or something. I don't know. Maybe lots of video cameras, too. We don't know the charge speed, but what's the maximum charge fees of the version three? It's currently 250, but we believe that even on the version three chargers, they can probably up it to 300, 350, but they haven't done it yet. So most of the third party chargers that are out now, let's call them non Tesla chargers, do 350 like the Electrify America or they are capable of they don't do 350, but they're capable of it. That 1350 is not too difficult to get to that's based on the voltage, I think. So supercharger V four is out and I guess they'll start testing them and maybe announcing what exactly they do. Everybody sort of expects that they'll bump it up a little bit, maybe perhaps for the cyber truck. What do you think? Yeah, like up to just 350 kw or something. Yeah. My car is limited to 170. Have not found that to be a real problem on the highway trips. So I think 250 is fine, 350 is fine, whatever they can do. So they're cranking out tesla's cranking out 6500 power walls. This is the battery packs for home storage a week and 9000 battery packs a week in Nevada. The battery packs are 9000 in Nevada for vehicles per week and 6500 power walls. That's pretty good. People are going to start buying these suckers and battery prices have to go down at some point if we don't run out of lithium. Geology professor they're testing new side repeater cameras with a wider field of view. What do you think of that? What's the deal with that? Is it anything to do with self driving improvements? Or is it just a feature for coolness, for having a better surround view of. The car? I would think it's probably both. I mean, there's always going to be upgrades, there's always going to be new camera modules available, so why not move to the new ones? This is the Clean Energy Show with Brian Stafford and James Whittingham. Every now and again, Brian a Twitter thread. Blows my mind, blows my little head. And this is one of those Twitter threads. It was from David Fickling, a Bloomberg New Energy opinion writer for Bloomberg. He says that solar is on an unstoppable path to solve climate change. And this is something that he didn't know. He's not telling us that. He said he looked into it, he talked to all the analysis and found out that solar is going gangbusters. And not only that, but it's enough to solve climate change on paper and then some by 2050. This is where we have to get to by 2050. He says there's more than enough being built now, basically, to be easily on that path. He says the energy supply to solve the climate is already under construction right now, and it's enough even if the current factories only run at 70%. So it's not like everybody's going to 100% and steam is coming out of the buildings and people are running around. It's like casual 70% is nothing. Anybody who runs less than 70% is not profitable. So he says, I was absolutely astonished to discover this. The solar supply chain we need to reach net zero is already under construction. Current planned and under construction capacity for solar poly silicon industry would be sufficient to support a solar sector producing nearly one terawatt of PV panels every year. That's 1 TB every year. So new solar only generates about 20% of the time. Okay, this is for reference. Nuclear does about 90%, 50% for coal and gas and offshore wind, which surprised me. I thought offshore wind was a bit better than 50%, and it's 35% for hydro. And onshore wind, 35% for hydro. I always grew up with the belief that hydro was a constant. They always say hydro is like a base power, but we're finding out with climate change and droughts that it's not and also seasonal. So it's not. So if hydro is only producing 35% of the time, of course pumped hydro works as battery storage because you just pump it back upstream. You lose 20% of your energy doing that, but batteries lose something in the hand off, too. So, yeah, it makes sense. Pumped hydro is hydro that doesn't depend on nature. This is one terawatt. It's equivalent to 5.8% of annual global electricity consumption. That's right now, right now, every year we are going to make 5.8%, almost 6% of global energy production in solar alone, starting very soon. Not in the 20, fourties very soon. That's amazing. To give it in a bit more context, he said the IEA last year worked out what you need to do to get to net zero this is the International Energy Agency. We worked out last year what you need to get to net zero by 2050, which is our target for climate change, to keep it at 1.5 degrees of warming and start to bring global warming to a halt. Instead you would need an average of 63 year installed between 2000 and 32,050. And he says one of solar alone is getting output now very soon. Under the construction is there to have one terawatt every year. So current polysilicone capacity construction is about $20 billion more than the current production at factories and constantly underestimating growth. Five years ago, the IEA estimated what the solar capacity production would be right now and they are 40% low. And it's the big underestimate of everything we do talk about on this show. So regulatory roadblocks, though this is caveat, are likely to be bigger bottleneck than the supply chain because wind has a lot of regulatory roadblocks and bottlenecks, I guess things like that. Mining too, like we were talking about lithium. Part of it is the permitting process for processing lithium and most panel construction production rather is in China. So political issues could arise. But the gold rush on poly silicon will likely cause prices to crash even further. So this is very positive for the world and it's hard for us to say that the technology and prices are going to solve climate change because the people who are at the forefront of that are hopeful. But it's just hard to say that. But it seems like there is a lot of positive news and this is basically the thesis of our podcast that prices of the technology we talked about is going to change the world and perhaps save it. Yeah, clean energy will win because it's better and cheaper. High temperatures are making people angrier online. So this is another article from Bloomberg. Somebody did a study about when temperatures rise above 30 degrees Celsius or 86 Fahrenheit, hate speech increases on social media when the temperatures go above 30 Celsius. You're kidding. This is maybe not too surprising. I mean, people get hot and they get angry. Actually makes me think of you remember do the Right Thing, the great Spike Lee film from 25 years ago or so. That film takes place on the hottest day of the summer in Brooklyn, right? Yeah. Tempers start to flare because it's so damn hot. And so I don't know, it's maybe just common sense, but somebody did a study and this is a thing that you can measure. You go on social media and you can evaluate the posts and absolutely more hate speech and bad behavior when the temperatures rise. And with climate change, the temperatures are going to be rising more often. You know, whenever there's the first hot day of a season or a hot day after a cold snap, I find that people have road rage around here a lot. Yeah, the speeding and I think the police should model on forecast and other traffic enforcement. Brian, it's time for what do you think? What do you think? This is where I asked Brian what he thinks about topics that I am unsure of. BMW confirms it will adopt Tesla's four six, eight cell format pledging billions of dollars for six global factories. What do you think? Yeah, it sounds like a smart idea. I wasn't sure everybody was going to adopt up the Tesla 46 80 sell. I mean, it'll still be one of many, I guess, but it's a very new form factor. So interesting that other people are adopting it. Electrify America is rebranding it's 350 kilowatt and 150 kilowatt fast chargers and the one will be hyper fast and the other will be ultra fast. Do you know which one is which? I don't know. I think those names are useless because who knows what's faster, hyper or ultra. Tesla solar now has to come with powerwall. So if you buy solar from Tesla, you have to get a powerwall with it, which aren't cheap, by the way. There are thousands and thousands of dollars. I don't know why. What do you think about that? What's the point of that? Well, I mentioned it has to do with their limited ability to they've had some difficulty expanding their solar, so I don't know, they've crunched the numbers and they can only serve a limited number of people anyway, so they might as well do it the way they want to. Elon Musk still says that 6 billion Tesla FSD full self driving beta miles driven by consumers like yourself are necessary for global regulatory approval. Do you know where they're at now? What does that mean? Yeah, it just means there's a lot of miles before it's going to work or what? Yes, I'm surprised that there's any kind of a number attached to it. I mean, the main thing is the software has got to work, so who knows how many billions of miles they're going to need. And they can't process all the data from all those miles, so yeah, I'm not sure what that means. All right, let's briefly dip into the mail bag, Brian. And also the lighting round is coming up later in the show where we'll skip through the rest of the week's headlines. Dear Clean Energy Show, I am an autistic boy named Name withheld to talk about ammonia and hydrogen vehicles in your podcast. Here are some videos about it. And he gave us about 90 links to YouTube videos. And I'm not even exaggerating, there is dozens and dozens of links that he gave, which is great. And he says, credit me under the alias Clasol Blano for giving you the suggestion and the research, please. Fame isn't for me. Have a nice day, gentlemen. That's one of the problems when people write into the podcast, Brian, is fame, instant fame that you have to deal with. And fame is not something for everyone. We understand that it's very fleeting. Very fleeting, yeah. But I definitely want to know more about ammonia and hydrogen. Those are both interesting possible things that can be done green in the future. Absolutely. And we will use some of your research and look at it. And we are hoping to know more and talk more and have some interviews coming up as well, perhaps. So we like to hear from you. Contact us cleanenergyshow@gmail.com. We're on Twitter and TikTok. Hello. We're everywhere. Brian, don't forget our YouTube channel and our Speak Pipe Cleanenergy Show is our handle on Speedpipe.com Cleanenergy Show. And now, of course, it's time for the lightning round. It's time for the lightning round. A fast paced look at the week in clean energy news. And Brian, this week, this year, rather, germany moved to a goal of 100% renewables by 2035. They doubled the goal for onshore wind, tripled solar goals, quadrupled offshore wind guards, all in the space of a few weeks. Thank you, Russia. Thank you, Putin. Yeah, that's working out great. Under the climate change file, unprecedented floods killed 1400, injured 13,000, and damaged 1.17 million homes and destroyed another half million more and washed away livestock and crops in Pakistan, something we haven't mentioned on the show and is under reported in the news. Perhaps we did mention it briefly a couple of weeks ago. I know, but it's true. This is a massive story and all of our thoughts to people in Pakistan dealing with that horrible tragedy. And it's time for clean energy. Class Fact. Brian, a single Tesla megapack. That is the semi truck size utility megapack and hold enough energy to charge how many Tesla vehicles? 40. That's not bad. I mean, the battery packs and cars are pretty big, so, yeah, that's good to know. From Electric Autonomy, Canada. Toronto Fire Services, Canada's largest municipal fire department, is buying his first electric pumper truck. Unfortunately, it'll cost twice as much as a standard one, $2 million. What do you think of that? Wow. I mean, more upfront, but probably cheaper in the long run. That's usually how these things work. They told electric Autonomy, Canada. North American firefighters prefer something bigger and more traditional looking in the fire truck department. So we decided that we were going to build a truck that looked and felt like a North American fire truck, which sounds like it's overbuilt and it's just going to run an electric instead of diesel. Well, time for another clean energy show. Fast fact. In 2020, 70% to 80% of lithiumion battery costs were raw materials this year, but in 2010, it was only 20% to 30%. So, yes, the rest of the battery has come down the raw materials, not as much. But that just goes to show you that making a lot of batteries reduces the prices. Interesting. From Bloomberg, the United States is estimated to host about a third of global crypto asset operations. And get this, it currently consumes about zero 9% to 1.7% of total US electricity usage. Yeah, turn off your crypto in California when the power might go out. Guys, that's the first thing you should start in a clean energy future. Not a big deal, but right now, we don't need that. Panasonic scoped two potential sites in the United States, kansas and Oklahoma for a $4 billion investment in a new lithium ion battery assembly plant likely to support Tesla EV assembly in Texas. They initially selected Kansas, but after the big biden bill, the IRA, the Inflation Reduction Act passed. They said, what the heck, why not both they doubled it. They doubled just like that. There you go. Sign of the time. It's not the future, it's now. No more coal ruling. The EPA recently announced the living of millions of dollars in fines against companies for selling equipment designed to circumvent pollution controls illegal under the Clean Air Act. And I say, God bless you. About time. We don't want any more damn coal. Related that is our time for this week. We like to hear from you. Contact us.

As more and more people consider switching from conventional vehicles to EVs, we wanted to see what it would be like to live with one of the most-appealing EVs out there. So we borrowed a 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge and put it through a rigorous list of tasks for a week. The XC40 Recharge is Volvo's leader in its quest to become an all-electric carmaker by 2035. The big question: is: can the average American adapt to the new lifestyle that a leading-edge EV like the XC40 Recharge requires? We'll tell you the good and the bad of both the vehicle itself and the EV lifestyle in our special report. In the news segment, we discuss exciting development in the innovative quest to create climate-friendly fuels. One fuel we discovered is said to be created from carbon dioxide pulled from the atmosphere, resulting in a closed loop that doesn't add incremental carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Instead, with this potential gamechanger, it's carbon out and carbon in. Will this breakthrough doom electric cars? Host Jack Nerad and Co-Host Chris Teague will discuss this fascinating development. Also in the news segment, Jack Nerad outlines his recent analysis of whether buying a hybrid or plug-in hybrid is a good answer to the nation's rapidly rising fuel prices. We'll reveal what he discovered. In the road test segment, Co-Host Chris Teague takes a long look at a very popular compact SUV, the 2022 Chevy Equinox. It's a vehicle that doesn't get much love from car testers, but it's also a vehicle you and your family might cherish. Teague will give us his conclusions. And we have a terrific guest. Phillip Battista is president of dealership technologies at J.D. Power, and he and his team have just launched Shop With Ease. It's a digital auto retailing solution that allows shoppers the ability to search, purchase, and finance vehicles without having to leave the dealer's or manufacturer's website. It could help you buy your next car painlessly and swiftly. All this and more coming up this week on America on the Road.  

The 2022 Chevrolet Equinox gets a refresh this year. And the Bow Tie brand does its top-selling SUV well by the adjustments it delivers. In fact in the entire Chevy vehicle line-up, sales of the compact sport-ute are bested only by Silverado. With that in mind, it makes sense that Chevrolet pays extra-special attention to the 5-seat Equinox and its upgrades. So let's unpack the details in this review, starting with the Top-3 things that make this compact crossover so popular. ⇒ Martin Chevrolet Is iDriveSoCal's Chevy HQ 2022 Chevy Equinox Top-3: Drive Safety Interior Compact Crossover/SUV - up to 31 MPG What's New For 2022 Chevy Equinox SUV At first glance, the '22 Equinox is noticeably updated by the refreshed front and rear fascias. Often these are the areas that carmakers focus on for updates, but Chevy designers get kudos for this one.  Because it takes closer inspection to determine if the vehicle is all-new or just spruced up. Chevrolet also ads its popular RS offering to the Equinox trim line-up for 2022.  That's Rally Sport for the uninitiated.  And as the name suggests, it delivers a sportier appearance among other upgrades. Additionally, the bow tie brand adds some new exterior colors for '22.  Including Cherry Red Tintcoat, Iron Gray Metallic, Seaglas Blue Metallic, and Blue Glow Metallic - some at an extra cost. Finally, there's some new technology available in the '22 Equinox.  And that covers available auto parking assist and front and rear park assist along with Outside heated adjustable mirrors. But the favorite tech enhancement that most road warriors will appreciate is the addition of wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capability. 1.5L Turbocharged Inline 4-cylinder Trims And MSRPs For 2022 Chevy Equinox comes in four optional trim configurations.  With the starting manufacturers suggested retail price is $25,800. LS $25,800 LT $26,900 RS $30,100 Premier $31,000 Engine, Transmissions, And MPG There is a bit of engine news or 2022.  And that is that your choice of engines got much easier.  Because Chevy is offering only one this year. Engine However, it's an enthusiastic 1.5-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder Ecotec engine.  Plus that power plant delivers 170 horsepower with 203 pound-feet of torque. Transmission Likewise, there's a single transmission option, but with a two or all-wheel drive decision to make. So the trans is a six-speed automatic.  It pairs nicely with the motor and keeps the driving experience confident and enjoyable. And Equinox is more of a crossover than an SUV.  This is evidenced in the transmission area with the two-wheel-drive option being front-wheel drive rather than the power coming from the rear wheels. Fuel Economy As expected, with the only differences being FWD and AWD the estimated fuel economy is quite similar. Specifically, the FWD will give you 26 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway.  Whereas the AWD is estimated to deliver 25 mpg in the city and 30 out on the open road. 183.1-inches long + 72.6" wide What's The '22 Chevy Equinox Look Like? With this refresh, the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox looks sportier for sure.  But also it appears a little wider and bolder. And this brings the overall styling of the compact SUV more in line with the appearance of its brethren.  Specifically, the Trailblazer and Blazer, both of which returned to Chevy's lineup in recent years. And upon their return, they both ushered in the more sleek and sporty look that the 2022 Equinox represents. Exterior Dimensions: Length 183.1 Wheelbase 107.3 Height 65.4 Width 72.6 Track: front 62.2 rear 62.2 Ground clearance 7.6-plus varies *All inches The '22 Equinox curb weight varies depending on the trim and drivetrain.  But the range is 3,274 to 3,512 lbs. Additionally, if you need to drag anything behind you,

On today’s podcast:   VW plans to sell 500,000 ID.4 electric cars per year Electrify America Introduces New Pricing Structure Rimac to acquire Bugatti Electric Ford F-150 Will Be Dual Motor Tesla Will Soon Start HW3 Retrofit for Model 3 in Europe Tesla is quietly building a mammoth Supercharger LG Chem to spin off battery unit amid rising EV demand Plug-in hybrids are a 'wolf in sheep's clothing' Chevy Bolt Becomes Tiny Electric Van   Show #891   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Thursday 17th September 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   VW PLANS TO SELL 500,000 ID.4 ELECTRIC CARS PER YEAR "VW is hyping the launch of the ID.4 electric SUV coming next week with new releases, and in a new interview with executives today, the automaker said that it plans to sell 500,000 ID.4 vehicles per year. Now Volkswagen has released an interview with Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the brand, and Thomas Ulbrich, member of the Board of Management responsible for e-mobility, talking about the ID.4. In the interview, Brandstätter said that VW plans to sell 1.5 million electric cars per year by 2025, and they aim for ID.4 to account for ~500,000 of those sales" writes electrek: "Volkswagen is going to fully unveil the ID.4 next week, and deliveries are expected to start in the coming weeks."   VW said: "Volkswagen wants to become the world market leader in e-mobility — but that won’t happen by itself. The Volkswagen brand is therefore investing around 11 billion euros by 2024. As a compact SUV, the ID.4 has, in our view, the best prerequisites for being successful in a large scale in all important markets. We therefore expect the Volkswagen brand to produce a total of 1.5 million e-cars per year by 2025. And the ID.4 is likely to account for around a third of this. The ID.4 will thus become the driving force behind our reorientation a hundred thousand times over."   https://electrek.co/2020/09/17/vw-plans-sell-id-4-electric-cars-per-year/   ELECTRIFY AMERICA INTRODUCES NEW PRICING STRUCTURE Electrify America today introduced a new pricing structure designed to provide electric vehicle (EV) owners with consistent and transparent rates across its public brand-neutral fast-charging network.   Customers will now experience more competitive rates and overall savings in most cases as Electrify America now offers kilowatt-hour (kWh) pricing, depending upon the state where the EV is charged. Plus, all session fees have been eliminated. Electrify America will now charge customers in 23 states plus the District of Columbia by the kilowatt-hour. This update reflects a growing preference by EV drivers for kWh pricing, which bills customers by the quantity of energy they use to charge their vehicle, similar to gas station pricing on a per-gallon basis. More than 78 percent of charging on the Electrify America network takes place in states where kWh pricing will be implemented. Rates start at $0.31 per kilowatt hour. For complete details, visit  electrifyamerica.com/pricing. In the remaining states where the company operates, Electrify America will continue to offer pricing on a per-minute basis with customers billed for the time spent charging.   https://media.electrifyamerica.com/en-us/releases/111   RIMAC TO ACQUIRE BUGATTI "VW Group is on the verge of offloading Bugatti to Croatian electromobility powerhouse Rimac Automobili. Bugatti – the luxury brand best known for today's 16-cylinder hypercars and its pre-WWII automotive masterpieces – will likely be transferred to Rimac via Porsche, in exchange for a bigger share in Europe's answer to Tesla. Sources say VW executives approved the deal last week, but it has yet to be signed off by the supervisory board." says Car Magazine in an exclusive report: "Volkswagen Group no longer wants to lavish money and manpower on the so-called hobby brands acquired by the former CEO. Instead, all resources must be devoted to fund the massive investment programme in the future of motoring – electrification, digitalisation and autonomous driving.If the future of motoring is electric – not 1500hp petrol-powered hypercars that sell in the hundreds – then getting their hooks further into Rimac, a company with a reputation for stellar EV tech, sounds very beneficial indeed. Back in 2018, Porsche acquired a ten per cent share in Rimac Automobili. In 2019, they bought another 5.5 per cent. By doing so, Porsche is in good company: other investors include Hyundai, Jaguar, Koenigsegg and Magna. Indeed when CAR visited earlier this year, founder Mate Rimac counted 15 car companies using its tech know-how. Rimac isn’t yet publicly traded, with the founder holding a 51 per cent majority interest. But there is an enormous buzz around the company – the last funding round pegged its value north of £500m. "   And: "And, as reported in CAR's August 2020 issue, the Wolfsburg grapevine repeats that Bugatti may not be the only brand set to depart VW for new hunting grounds. Also under investigation are – in this order – Lamborghini, Seat (to be repositioned by merging with Cupra which is due to become the lead marque), Ital Design, Bentley and Ducati"   https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/industry-news/bugatti/vw-group-rimac/   Subscribe to CAR Magazine here: https://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/car-magazine   ELECTRIC FORD F-150 WILL BE DUAL MOTOR "Ford announced on Thursday that it would be investing upwards of $700 million in a new facility at its Rouge vehicle assembly complex to build the forthcoming electric F-150. The construction should add 300 jobs, Ford said, which will focus on battery assembly and producing both the electric F-150 and the F-150 PowerBoost hybrid." says CNET.   And: "The new all-electric Ford F-150 will also feature a“giant front trunk” to secure important cargo and deliver a safer vehicle. Considering it will still be an F-150, the fact that it is originally conceived to be a combustion-engined vehicle may impose some compromises on the battery-powered pickup truck. Having a battery pack will allow it to provide “more than 40 percent savings for its lifetime total cost of operation” compared to the ICE F-150. Updates will also be made over the air, like any Tesla already does since September 2012." according to InsideEVs.   https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/ford-f150-electric-pickup-truck/   https://insideevs.com/news/444407/all-electric-ford-f-150-mid-2022/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=RSS-all-articles   TESLA WILL SOON START HW3 RETROFIT FOR MODEL 3 IN EUROPE "Tesla will soon begin hardware 3.0 upgrades for Model 3 in Europe. This initiative is another sign of Tesla's commitment to expanding its Full Self-Driving functionality rollout, which is expected to reach full-scale in the near future. The HW3 retrofit will be available for electric vehicles equipped with HW2 and HW2.5, whose owners have purchased the company's Full Self-Driving package. The new computer (HW3) has been installed in all new Model S and Model X vehicles since March 2019 and in all new Model 3 vehicles produced since April of that year." reports Tesmanian: "For now, owners from regions such as Europe and Australia have not yet received the promised HW3 block. But this situation may soon change. A Model 3 owner from Europe asked Tesla CEO Elon Musk when the company will begin retrofitting Model 3 hardware in Europe. Musk replied that this should happen soon."   https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/tesla-will-start-hw3-retrofit-for-model-3-in-europe-soon-says-elon-musk   TESLA IS QUIETLY BUILDING A MAMMOTH SUPERCHARGER "As noted recently by Tesla enthusiast @bryanMackSC, he recently came across a Supercharger station that’s currently under construction in Firebaugh, California. The site seemed to be fairly new, as even trackers like supercharge.info did not list the site until very recently. What is rather interesting was that the Supercharger in question had over 50 stalls, making it notably larger than the Kettleman site, which is already one of the largest in the world. " says TEslarati: "It did not take long before fellow Tesla enthusiast @MontrealTesla, who tracks updates to the Supercharger Network, was able to retrieve filings for the Firebaugh site. As it turned out, the site will host 56 Tesla Superchargers, and it will be in the same vicinity as a full-fledged restaurant and convenience store.

The South Korean company said on Thursday that its board had approved the plan for a new subsidiary, tentatively named LG Energy Solution. The decision is subject to shareholder approval at a general meeting scheduled for Oct. 30." reports Nikkei.coM: "Projected battery demand from EVs produced in Europe is more than five times the volume of currently confirmed battery projects in Europe, according to McKinsey. LG Chem is a leading player in the EV battery market, accounting for one-quarter of market share. The company supplies many global automakers including Hyundai Motor, Kia Motors, GM, Ford, Volkswagen, Renault and Volvo."   LG CHem said: ""This is the right time for the spinoff as the battery industry is growing rapidly and profits from the EV battery sector are increasing. With the spinoff we can focus on a specialized business sector as well as improve efficiency in management, boosting values for the company and shareholders."   https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Companies/LG-Chem-to-spin-off-battery-unit-amid-rising-EV-demand   PLUG-IN HYBRIDS ARE A 'WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING' "Carbon dioxide emissions from plug-in hybrid cars are as much as two-and-a-half times higher than official tests suggest, according to new research. But analysis from pressure groups Transport and Environment and Greenpeace suggest they emit an average of 120g of CO2 per km. That compares with the 44g per km in official "lab" tests" reports the BBC: "The new research is published as the government considers whether to bring forward a proposed ban on the sale of new petrol, diesel and conventional hybrid cars from 2035 to 2030. The BBC understands one suggestion is that plug-in hybrids should be given a stay of execution, with new sales allowed to continue until 2035. That's because they can offer a 20- to 40-mile range as a purely electric vehicle and are therefore potentially significantly less polluting than other vehicles. But this new analysis from Transport and Environment and Greenpeace suggests they don't offer anything like the carbon dioxide savings claimed for them by manufacturers. The motor industry acknowledges that lab tests don't always reflect real-world use but criticised the report, saying it uses emissions data from a test that is two years old."   Rebecca Newsom, Greenpeacve head of politics: "They may seem a much more environmentally friendly choice, but false claims of lower emissions are a ploy by car manufacturers to go on producing SUVs and petrol and diesel engines."   https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-54170207   CHEVY BOLT BECOMES TINY ELECTRIC VAN " if you’re willing to sacrifice the rear seats entirely, you may be able to get a Chevy Bolt that has plenty of cargo space. A commercial version of the Bolt can be ordered with a Rear Seat Delete Package, which increases the Bolt’s nominal cargo capacity from 56.6 cubic feet with the rear seats folded to 66 cubic feet, and greatly increases its usefulness by providing a flat loading floor." says ChargedEVs: "As GM points out, this gives you more usable cargo space than many an SUV, including the Chevy Equinox. This version of the Bolt can only be ordered through GM’s fleet sales program. It’s unclear how, or whether, an individual can go about buying one"   https://chargedevs.com/newswire/rear-seat-delete-option-converts-the-chevy-bolt-to-a-tiny-electric-van/   You can listen to all 892 previous episodes of this this for free, where you get your podcasts from, plus the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.   It would mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on whichever platform you download the podcast.   And  if you have an Amazon Echo, download our Alexa Skill, search for EV News Daily and add it as a flash briefing.   Come and say hi on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter just search EV News Daily, have a wonderful day, I’ll catch you tomorrow and remember…there’s no such thing as a self-charging hybrid.     PHIL ROBERTS / ELECTRIC FUTURE (PREMIUM PARTNER) BRAD CROSBY (PREMIUM PARTNER) AVID TECHNOLOGY (PREMIUM PARTNER) PORSCHE OF THE VILLAGE CINCINNATI (PREMIUM PARTNER) AUDI CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) VOLVO CARS CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) NATIONALCARCHARGING.COM and ALOHACHARGE.COM  (PREMIUM PARTNER) DEREK REILLY FROM THE EV REVIEW IRELAND YOUTUBE CHANNEL (PREMIUM PARTNER)   DAVID AND LISA ALLEN (PARTNER) OEM AUDIO OF NEW ZEALAND AND EVPOWER.CO.NZ (PARTNER) GARETH HAMER eMOBILITY NORWAY HTTPS://WWW.EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/  (PARTNER) BOB BOOTHBY – MILLBROOK COTTAGES AND ELOPEMENT WEDDING VENUE (PARTNER) DARIN MCLESKEY FROM DENOVO REAL ESTATE (PARTNER) JUKKA KUKONEN FROM WWW.SHIFT2ELECTRIC.COM RAJEEV NARAYAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER)   ALAN ROBSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALAN SHEDD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEX BANAHENE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEXANDER FRANK @ https://www.youtube.com/c/alexsuniverse42 ANDERS HOVE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREA JEFFERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASEER KHALID (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASHLEY HILL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BÅRD FJUKSTAD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRENT KINGSFORD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRIAN THOMPSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRUCE BOHANNAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHARLES HALL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRIS HOPKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) COLIN HENNESSY AND CAMBSEV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG COLES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG ROGERS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAMIEN DAVIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DARREN FEATCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVE DEWSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID FINCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID MOORE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PARTINGTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PRESCOTT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DON MCALLISTER / SCREENCASTSONLINE.COM (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERU KYEYUNE-NYOMBI (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) FREDRIK ROVIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GENE RUBIN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GILBERTO ROSADO (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GEOFF LOWE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEDLEY WRIGHT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN GRIFFITHS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN SEAR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN (WATTIE) WATKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JACK OAKLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAMES STORR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JIM MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODICERS) JOHN C SOLAR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON AKA BEARDY MCBEARDFACE FROM KENT EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON MANCHAK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JUAN GONZALEZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEN MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEVIN MEYERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KYLE MAHAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LARS DAHLAGER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LAURENCE D ALLEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LEE BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LUKE CULLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARCEL WARD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARK BOSSERT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARTY YOUNG  (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MATT PISCIONE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIA OPPELSTRUP (PARTNER) MICHAEL PASTRONE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIKE WINTER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHAN GORE-BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NEIL E ROBERTS FROM SUSSEX EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NIGEL MILES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) OHAD ASTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PAUL RIDINGS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER)               PAUL STEPHENSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GLASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GORTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETER & DEE ROBERTS FROM OXON EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER)  PHIL MOUCHET (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHILIP TRAUTMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RAJ BADWAL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENE KEEMIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENÉ SCHNEIDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RICHARD LUPINSKY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB HERMANS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB FROM THE RSTHINKS EV CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RUPERT MITCHELL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) SEIKI PAYNE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEPHEN PENN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEVE JOHN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) THOMAS J.

A few weeks ago gas prices were ridiculously low. As people are getting back to work we're seeing gas prices start to move up in price. With gas getting more expensive and as much as we have to drive to deliver for gig economy apps, how do we make sure that we're not paying too much for gas?Before diving into that topic, a couple things we touched on to start the episode:Last week the government added funds to the EIDL relief loans. Stay tuned to the EntreCourier website, we'll dive into that soon. Also, June 30 is the deadline for the Paycheck Protection Program. Here are some PPP relevant links:How the PPP program works for independent contractorsMy process applying for the PPP loansHow PPP loan forgiveness works for independent contractorsWhere to apply for PPP LoansDoordash has been said to be dangling 'bonuses' for completing so many deliveries. They were promising "you'll earn at least $1750" for 300 deliveries. That's not a bonus, that's not money on top. It's just a minimum earnings of less than $6 each.Go check out Mike Delivers. Another delivery based podcast that's well done.Okay, on to this week's episodeYou can follow along on the blog post associated with today's episode and see links and screenshots there.The most important tip for cutting down on gas costs? Drive lessI drive around in a 20-mpg Chevy Equinox and spend less on gas than a lot of people who drive a Prius. Why? Because I keep my miles down. Too many drivers are driving way too many miles. Don't be that guy (or gal).Don't drive extra miles to save on taxes. I learned on Uber Eats that distance was a better factor for evaluating deliveries than the offered price.Use the available cost saving tools.Use my GetUpside referral link to receive a bonus 15¢ per gallon cash back on your first fill up.Check out GasBuddy for info on gas prices and save money on gas purchases with their debit card.

2020 Chevrolet Equinox Review The 2020 Chevy Equinox is a compact crossover SUV that seats up to five.  It drives big performance, classic styling, and a highly functional interior. And thanks to its universal appeal the Equinox has become Chevrolet's second-best-selling vehicle.  In fact, since it's U.S. launch Chevy has sold nearly 3-million Equinoxes. Fun fact: Only Silverado tops Equinox in Chevrolet sales volume. Here's my complete 2020 Chevrolet Equinox review after picking one up from my friends at Martin Chevy in the South Bay of Los Angeles. -->Continue reading or click play below to listen.

How do you change a flat tire? What if you have roadside assistance?Roadside assistance is great if you have time to wait for them or if you can't change your own flat tire. This broadcast gives you tips on changing a tire and what you need to have to do it. Allison Walker, The Lady Auto Mechanic https://www.facebook.com/theladyautomechanic78/ talked about lug wrenches, tire rotation, and tire air pressure.Recalls for the week: 2016-2019 BMW X1; 2017-2019 Chrysler Pacifica; 2015-2018 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500; 2019 Toyota Sienna; 2015-17 Toyota Yaris; 2016 Volvo XC90; 2019 Hyundai VelosterYou can find out if your car has a past recall by going to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration’s website: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls and inputting your VIN number.Consumer Reports has a list of 108 2007-16 models that have a record of much-worse-than-average overall reliability based on subscriber responses to their Annual Auto Survey. Today, we’re going to caution you about: the 2012 and 13 models of the Ford Edge: electrical problemsPlease consider reading up on the reliability of this car before purchasing it as a used car, suggests Consumer Reports. https://www.consumerreports.org/used-cars/used-cars-to-avoid-buying/ https://www.carcomplaints.com/ is another resource for unreliable car lists. If you’re interested in reviews of new cars Casey Williams is the automotive correspondent for WFYI, a public radio station in Indianapolis. He has reviewed cars and covered the auto industry for 25 years. His review this week is on the 2019 Cadillac XT4 and the Chevy Equinox https://www.wfyi.org/news/authors/casey-williamsThese items should always be in your vehicle:o Jacko Lug wrencho Fully inflated spare tire Remember to check pressure every month and before long trips or carrying extra load.o Vehicle owner’s manual· Additional items:o Flashlight with working batterieso Rain ponchoo Small cut of 2"x6” wood to secure the jacko Gloveso Wheel wedgesHOW TO CHANGE TIRES1. FIND A SAFE LOCATIONAs soon as you realize you have a flat tire, do not abruptly brake or turn. Slowly reduce speed and scan your surroundings for a level, straight stretch of road with a wide shoulder. An empty parking lot would be an ideal place. Level ground is good because it will prevent your vehicle from rolling. Also, straight stretches of road are better than curves because oncoming traffic is more likely to see you.Never attempt to change your tire on a narrow shoulder near oncoming traffic. Keep moving (slowly) until you find a safer spot. While driving on a flat risks ruining your rim, replacing a rim is better than being hit by an inattentive driver.Make sure to consult your owner’s manual and review their specific steps on how to change a flat tire for your vehicle2. TURN ON YOUR HAZARD LIGHTSYour hazard lights or “flashers” will help other drivers see you on the side of the road. To avoid an accident, turn them on as soon as you realize you need to pull over.3. APPLY THE PARKING BRAKEOnce stopped, always use the parking brake when preparing to replace a flat tire. This will minimize the possibility of your vehicle rolling.4. APPLY WHEEL WEDGESWheel wedges go in front of or behind the tires to further ensure the vehicle doesn’t roll while you fix the flat tire. If you’re changing a rear tire, place these in front of the front tires. If your flat tire is at the front, put the wheel wedges behind the rear tires.Bricks or large stones will work just as well as “real” wheel wedges. Just be sure they’re large enough to stop the car from rolling.5. REMOVE THE HUBCAP OR WHEEL COVERIf your vehicle has a hubcap covering the lug nuts, it’s easier to remove the hubcap before lifting the vehicle with the jack. If your lug nuts are exposed, you can skip ahead to Step 6.Use the flat end of your lug wrench to remove the hubcap. This will work for most vehicles, but some hubcaps need a different tool to come off. Consult your owner’s manual for proper hubcap or wheel cover removal procedures.6. LOOSEN THE LUG NUTSUsing the lug wrench, turn the lug nuts counterclockwise until you break their resistance. You may have to use force, and that’s ok. Use your foot or all of your body weight if necessary.Loosen the lug nuts about ¼ to ½ of a turn, but don’t remove them completely yet. Save that for when it’s time to remove your tire/wheel from the vehicle.7. PLACE THE JACK UNDER THE VEHICLEThe right place for the jack is usually beneath the vehicle frame alongside the tire that’s flat. Many vehicle frames have molded plastic on the bottom with a cleared area of exposed metal specifically for the jack. To safely lift and avoid damage to the vehicle, follow the instructions for jack placement in your vehicle owner’s manual.8. RAISE THE VEHICLE WITH THE JACKTo prevent the jack from settling under the weight of your vehicle and coming off balance, place a small cut of 2x6” wood beneath it before attempting to raise your vehicle. This tactic is especially helpful on asphalt.With the jack properly positioned, raise the vehicle until the flat tire is about six inches above the ground.Never put any part of your body under the vehicle during or after raising the vehicle with the jack.9. UNSCREW THE LUG NUTSNow it’s time to remove the lug nuts all the way. Since you've already loosened them, you should be able to unscrew them mostly by hand.10. REMOVE THE FLAT TIREGripping the tire by the treads, pull it gently toward you until it’s completely free from the hub behind it. Set it on its side so that it doesn’t roll away.11. MOUNT THE SPARE TIRE ON THE LUG BOLTSNow place the spare on the hub by lining up the rim with the lug bolts. Push gently until the lug bolts show through the rim.12. TIGHTEN THE LUG NUTS BY HANDPut the lug nuts back on the lug bolts and tighten them all the way by hand. Once they are all on, check each one again, tightening as much as possible. You will tighten them with the wrench after lowering the vehicle to the ground.13. LOWER THE VEHICLE AND TIGHTEN THE LUG NUTS AGAINUse the jack to lower the vehicle so that the spare tire is resting on the ground but the full weight of the vehicle isn’t fully on the tire. At this point, you should tighten the lug nuts with the wrench, turning clockwise, as much as you can. Push down on the lug wrench with the full weight of your body.14. LOWER THE VEHICLE COMPLETELYBring the vehicle all the way to the ground and remove the jack. Give the lug nuts another pull with the wrench to ensure they’re as tight as possible.15. REPLACE THE HUBCAPIf the hubcap you took from the flat tire will fit your spare, put it in place the same way you removed it initially. If it doesn’t fit, stow it away with the tire when you stow your equipment.16. STOW ALL EQUIPMENTYou have before you a jack, a lug wrench, wheel wedges, your flat tire, and possibly a hubcap. Don’t forget to put all of them in your vehicle before driving away.17. CHECK THE PRESSURE IN THE SPARE TIREYou should check the tire pressure of the spare tire to make sure that it is safe to drive on. “T-Type” temporary spares, also called “mini-spares,” require 60 psi (420 kPa). If the tire needs pressure, drive (slowly) to a service station immediately.18. TAKE YOUR FLAT TIRE TO A TECHNICIANTemporary spare tires aren’t made to drive long distances or at high speeds, so drive cautiously until you’re able to visit a tire technician. A professional should be able to determine whether your tire needs a repair or if it’s time to replace it.HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO FIX A FLAT TIRE?Aside from taking your tire to a professional, the above procedure shouldn’t take more than 15 to 30 minutes to change a tire. Just be sure you don’t leave out any steps.It’s beneficial practice changing a tire in your garage or driveway to ensure you’re ready to handle this situation if it ever happens to you.A FEW MORE TIPS ON CHANGING TIRESKnowing how to fix a flat tire is great, but regular tire maintenance is even more important. In addition to reviewing this guide regularly, remember to do the following:· Keep your tires properly inflated· Rotate your tires according to the manufacturer’s guidelines· Monitor for tread wearAll of these precautions will extend the life of your tires and reduce the likelihood of a flat. While there’s no way to prevent flat tires completely, proper care can improve performance and ensure your tires last as long as possible.https://www.bridgestonetire.com/tread-and-trend/drivers-ed/how-to-change-a-flat-tire See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I'm down here on location in Aruba with my ever loyal sidekick Maggie for our October 2017 Aruba trip. This time, Maggie brought her daughter Jess along. The three of us have so much planned for this trip and we can't wait to show Jess what the amazing island of Aruba has in store.   What I'm planning here is a blow by blow recap of our experience in this trip. We started it with leaving Delaware for Newark where we stayed on the Courtyard Marriott for the night before heading to the airport in the morning. We arrived smoothly on the island at an ideal time, which was followed by probably the fastest transition we've had from airport to car rental company to our rental house.   Like the last time we stayed in Aruba, we opted to go for Royal as our car rental of choice. But don't get me wrong, I like to switch things around with car rentals for the podcast so listeners will get a perspective for each of them. We got an SUV instead of the usual jeep because there's three of us with a lot of luggage.   Upon arriving on the island, we wanted to eat at Don Pastechi or  Pika's Corner but unfortunately they were both closed so we ended up at... you guessed it, Wendy's. One really has to wonder why Wendy's is so popular in the island. It's always so crowded. But I digress. We had a nice, pleasant, and quiet evening after that at Así es mi Perú, where the food is excellent. We recommend it.   To wrap up this episode, we have so many plans for the duration of this trip like mentioned earlier, including One Happy Podcast's 3rd Anniversary Party that I'm hosting at Legends Pub on the 24th of October. Do swing by at 7:00 p.m. if you're up for it! I would love to see you there. It's going to be a blast.   Don't forget to stay tuned for the next parts of our October Aruba trip!   ON THIS EPISODE OF ONE HAPPY PODCAST, YOU WILL: - Hear a funny story of how we initially wanted to rent a Chevy Trax, thought we were getting a Chevy Equinox instead, but ended up with a Kia Sportage - Know Royal's bait and switch tactic for customers     SERVICES, COMPANIES, AND RESTAURANTS MENTIONED:   Courtyard Marriot Newark Springhill Suites DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Applebees Aruba Royal Car Rental Aruba Optima Car Rental   Tropic Car Rental Aruba Amigo Car Rental Pika's Corner Don Pastechi Wendy's Así es mi Perú

Robbie is sick this week and his voice is shot, so it's just Sam and Nicole. Nicole has been driving the Subaru Ascent while Sam had the Lexus RX450h+ plug-in hybrid.Hyundai made lots of news this week at its investor day as well as during a drive program in California. Its new 3-row electric crossover, the Ioniq 9 will launch production in 2025 at the new Savannah, GA factory and in 2026, Hyundai will launch an extended range EV (EREV). But before the Ioniq 9 arrives, Hyundai will be producing the Ioniq 5 at the new factory beginning in October. Along with a mild styling refresh and bigger batteries, the Ioniq 5 is getting an SAE J3400/NACS charging port. 3 weeks after the regular Ioniq 5, Hyundai will start production of the Ioniq 5 XRT for those that can't wait for the Rivian R3.
