Paul Harrold of the Sons of Speed sits in for Jill this week. Tom opened the show noting Ram's decision to return the Hemi-brand V8 to the 1500 powertrain lineup. Ram had replaced the engine with a more powerful and efficient turbocharged six, but customers have rejected the new motor. Still in the first segment, Paul recaps his time in the 2025 Rolls-Royce Phantom II. Paul and Sons of Speed partner Brendan Appel share a video of their test drive of the ultra-luxury British sedan below. In the second segment Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions joins the show. Sam shared his insights into the new, Jeff Bezos-backed Slate Auto EV start-up. The new company is scheduled to have vehicles ready to sell by the end of 2026. Sam also shared his thoughts on the autonomous Tesla Cybercab. The 2-seat, driverless taxi—at least in concept form—has no steering wheel. Tesla plans to have Cybercabs operating in Austin, Texas in the near future. In the last segment, Paul is subjected to Tom's “Dead or Alive for ‘25” quiz.

We can thank TECHNOLOGY for bringing us the Unnamed Automotive Podcast this week, but we can also BLAME it for making Sami's life difficult during his week-long test of the 2025 Volvo EX90 EV. With a huge battery, over 500-hp and plenty of driving range, the EX90 should be a slam dunk in the world of three-row EVs, but Sami shares the many frustrations he experienced while driving this vehicle. Most issues revolve around the infotainment system and a minimalist approach to controls, which makes usually easy tasks quite distracting. Then Benjamin shares his thoughts on the all-new, and finally available in the US, 2025 BMW M5 Touring (Wagon.) The big, plug-in hybrid, high-performance wagon shows it can be a bit of everything in one tidy package. Is that special enough? Why is Sami so over it already? The guys talk about their thoughts on this amazing BMW and figure out 'why now?" And finally, the hosts tackle some listener questions and comments about the Hyundai Santa Cruz, and the scary future of used car software. Thanks for listening!

Electric vehicles – EVs – don't emit pollutants into the air. That's a good thing, if you're focused on cutting emissions and curbing climate change. But they're also often more expensive than gas cars, and the charging infrastructure along roads and highways isn't fully built out yet. Considering these challenges, how do you get people to buy EVs?In Vermont, the Scott administration proposed a rule to the Legislature in 2022 to end gas-powered car sales by 2035, which a legislative committee then approved. The rule stated that manufacturers should increase the percentage of EVs for sale in Vermont. State agencies said the strategy led to an uptick in EV ownership.But then, about three weeks ago, Vermont's Governor Phil Scott issued an executive order halting enforcement of this rule for 19 months. He also said his administration "remains committed to achieving emissions reductions, including vehicle emissions."We hear more about what's going on in Vermont from freelance journalist Nathaniel Eisen of Colchester, who recently covered the story for Inside Climate News. Vermont's Secretary of the Agency of Natural Resources, Julie Moore, gives us the state's perspective, and Democratic state Senator Anne Watson explains why she's disappointed in the governor's decision. Plus, Brent Dragon, sales manager for the heavy truck dealership R.R. Charlebois in Milton, tells us about the trucking industry's take on the mandate and the state's decision to put it on hold.Correction: During Tuesday's radio broadcast and in this post we incorrectly identified the rule as a "law" and "regulation" that was first put forth by the Vermont Legislature. In fact, it was a rule proposed by the Scott administration.Broadcast live on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.Have questions, comments or tips?

In this exclusive episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Jaguar Managing Director Rawdon Glover shares the story behind the brand's controversial 2024 rebrand. Glover gives us the inside track on why the iconic British marque halted UK car sales, pivoted to all-electric luxury, and ignited a storm of debate with a polarising teaser campaign that featured… no cars. From dealing with backlash to unveiling the striking Type 00 concept, this is an insight into the risk that comes with reinvention, the future of one of the UK's most storied automotive brands and the company's conviction that they simply do not want to be loved by everyone.

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast tackles a pair of uncommon vehicles this week. The show starts with Benjamin's review of the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz XRT model, which emphasizes a more rugged and tough approach to compact trucking. Benjamin explains how it compares to the recently reviewed 2025 Ford Maverick, and whether Hyundai is capable of building a truck that works for North American needs. Then Sami chimes in with his review of the 2025 Nissan Ariya, which offers a lot of the same features and technologies found on other EVs on the market. Our hosts ask what makes the Ariya special in this segment, and struggle to come up with a definitive answer, despite Nissan's past leadership in the EV space. Thanks for listening!

Despite increased gas prices and lower costs associated with buying an electric vehicle, drivers are still hesitant to make the switch. That's due, in part, to charging anxiety: even though most daily trips are short, people still worry, 'what happens when you can't find a plug?' A mandate from New York State that aims to have all new cars sold run on electric by 2035 has also exposed some of the communities' more complex problems: utility limitations; lack of support from the federal government; and the problems presented by modern EV batteries. Our guests break it down: Senator Jeremy Cooney, District 56, and chair of the NYS Transportation Committee Brian Sharp, investigations editor for WXXI News Eric Hittinger, professor of public policy at the Rochester Institute of Technology
What's up, everyone! Today we're sharing an episode with Joseph Vellone, the CEO of ChargeScape — a Joint Venture between Ford, Honda, BMW, and Nissan. -----Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | Pocket Casts-----As the grid continues to buckle under the pressure of ever-increasing demand, it's more important than ever to find ways to manage the existing load. However, it's not all bad. One of the main demand drivers might be the core solution to these demand problems—namely, EVs, when paired with smart charging software. You see, all these EVs are essentially backup batteries. Currently, not all are equipped with bi-directional charging, but most new vehicles hitting the roads are. So, not only can a smart charging software, managed by utilities, alleviate demand on the grid, it can also pull energy from the vehicles when the time is right (again, when the hardware capabilities are present). -----Support our Work with a Paid Subscription-----This fundamentally shifts our perspective on vehicles. Instead of a cost center, it could earn you money by purchasing cheap energy, or charging on solar for free, and selling back to the grid at peak demand times. This is the type of utopian future we work towards — and the best part, it's becoming reality in front of us.

Most of the cabs on the streets of New York back in 1899 were electric, so why did they disappear? And why has it been so hard to bring them back?In this episode, I am diving into the history of electric vehicles to reveal why a cleaner, quieter, and generally better technology got stamped out almost as quickly as it arrived.This is part of our series, “Inventions That Changed the World”, and I think you'll find it very eye-opening.In this episode, I share:The early history of the electric carWhy electric vehicles vanished for almost a centuryThe 3 players that were quietly steering the EV off the roadHow EVs made an attempted return in 1990What stopped the EVs in the 1990sHow the emergence of Tesla influenced the latest EV surgeSome of the myths around EVs that influence people's hatred of themWhat's being done to stop the atrocious slave labour in EV productionKey Quotes“EVs are better, end of story.”“In Aotearoa, 12% of our cars are electric.”“Most of the cabs on the streets of New York back in 1899 were electric.”Find our full podcast via the website here: https://www.nowthatswhaticall.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nowthatswhaticallgreen/You can follow me on socials on the below accounts.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/briannemwest/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@briannemwestLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briannemwest/For our latest big project, find out more about Incrediballs here: https://incrediballs.com/
This Weeks Unnamed Automotive Podcast begins with a thorough review of the 2025 Ford Maverick, which has been refreshed. Featuring a new drivetrain and a new street truck Lobo trim, the pickup gives Benjamin plenty to talk about, but its new price point seems to be a silver bullet in this whole cheap truck thing. Then Sami reviews the 2025 Macan 4 EV, which boasts tons of range and plentiful performance, leaving our host to ask "what else do you want?" It turns out, a cheaper MSRP, nicer interior and a reason for two charge ports would be the answer to that question. Finally, Benjamin shares some barely coherent thoughts on the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia. Dismissed by Sami as something that is barely more than a Toyota Camry, Benjamin shows up to defend the Signia's honour, while completely ignoring its price and performance. Sometimes vibes is all you need.

About Matt Landman:—First the truth will upset you, but then it will set you free.I never thought I would be an activist but I guess that's life, one door closes another door opens. For me I'd worked so many different jobs and spent so much of my life in a classroom that I just wanted to get grounded and learn about growing food. I worked on a farm and there I opened my eyes for the first time to the FrankenSkies we never knew. From the day I realized something abnormal was occurring in our skies, I was driven to do something about it. Through my devotion and passion, I've realized incredible traction via social media. My goal is very simple, it is unity.

Rob describes a recent trip he made to China, Japan and the US and discusses what he learned. As the trip started shortly after President Trump declared Liberation Day on 2 April, the trade war and tariffs were a recurring topic of the trip. The postcard discusses the trade war, but it is not just about the trade war. The trade war is in the news today but news cycles get ever shorter. It is important not to be so focused on the news that you miss the bigger picture.As such, the postcard also touches on broader developments in China including AI, Electric Vehicles and the growing prominence of Chinese companies.

Electric vehicles are often seen as one of the answers to climate change. Ditch gas-powered cars and trucks for electric, and the carbon footprint will be smaller, right? Not so fast. As iconic talk show host Larry Elder explains in his new film, “Electric Vehicles — The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,” there’s a lot more to EVs than people know. He joins Michele to discuss. Michele Tafoya is a four-time Emmy award-winning sportscaster turned political and cultural commentator.

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast gets their helmets on, beefs up their suspension, and hits the unpaved road this week as our hosts review two rally-inspired cars. The show starts off with Benjamin's review of the Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally, which gets more power, stylish upgrades and extra armor for its battery, all for tackling the great unpaved wilderness. However, weight and grip may have shifted Benjamin's experience with this all-weather EV. Then Sami jumps into an honest-to-goodness, high-performance Toyota, with the GR Corolla. Yes, it's designed by Toyota, developed by Toyota and made by them too, but in this episode, Sami gets to try out the automatic version of this rally-oriented hot hatch. The conversation drifts its way through the typical hot-hatch territory, as the guys talk about some of their favorites in the segment. Thanks for listening!

Batteries for electric vehicles are notoriously difficult to recycle, but growing demand for the rare metals they contain is leading to greater interest in retrieving their contents.
Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today? To answer these questions and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gracelin Baskaran, the director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist whose area of expertise is critical minerals and trade.

After averaging around $US 75/B over the past few years, the WTI oil price fell below $US 60/B in early May. The weakness is driven by growing concerns about a potential recession resulting from US tariffs and announcements from the OPEC+ group that they will accelerate adding supply to the market, just as demand may be softening. To help us understand the recent volatility in oil prices, our guest this week is Jeremy Irwin, Global Crude Lead at Energy Aspects. Here are some of the questions Peter and Jackie asked Jeremy: Is this a repeat of 2015, when OPEC decided to flood the market to weaken US shale oil producers? Is President Trump influencing the OPEC+ strategy, as he may want lower oil prices to help offset the inflationary effects of US tariffs? At current price levels, how will US oil production respond? If profit is tight at lower prices, will US oil producers prioritize paying shareholders or capital spending? How might changes to US sanctions on Venezuela, Russia, and Iran impact the oil market? When do you expect global (and China's) oil demand to peak? In the short term, how serious is the threat of recession to oil demand? Do you expect Canadian oil export infrastructure to expand?

Grab your monocles, have a plate of caviar, and take a seat upon one of our exclusive thrones made solely of materials mined only from the dark side of the moon. This weeks show starts off with Benjamins sharp witted review of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G550. A high-end SUV with humble beginnings and limited generational changes, this time around it's got a whole new motor, design and high class interior, one so fancy that Benjamin had to take extra precautions when hauling stuff around. What does the G-Class mean these days? Is it something to be celebrated or shunned for being too excessive? Then the guys take some time to talk about the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography, a seven-seat ode to royal British motoring. Outfitted with the right equipment for towing, hauling, and ferrying passengers around, Benjamin explains how the experience in this SUV was totally different than the Benz, even though the two vehicles share similar price points.
