In this episode, I reflect on a whirlwind three-day visit to China - my first in over 20 years. And what I saw was remarkable. The infrastructure puts most of the West to shame. The AI isn't just hype - it's working at serious scale. And the electric vehicles? They're about to steamroll the global auto industry. Here's what really struck me during my whirlwind trip to Beijing and beyond.In this episode you'll hear:Infrastructure built at speed: Beijing's immaculate airport, 300 km/h rail to Tianjin for £17, and pristine expressways that put US infrastructure to shame.Verticalised AI in action: While Chinese labs trail US frontier models and face compute constraints, they're excelling in verticals - profitable robotaxis in Wuhan, healthcare AI analyzing 5.5 billion medical records, and Squirrel AI's $200m education platform that outperforms China's best human teachers.EV cost leadership is set: Chinese electric vehicles are absolutely remarkable. Years of vicious domestic competition have created incredible innovation and cost discipline that will hit European carmakers like a sledgehammer.The air quality transformation: Beijing at 37°C was clean enough for a morning run, thanks to widespread EV adoption.Scale that defies comprehension: Convention centers 100 times the size of Union Square, cities of 20 million people, and AI platforms serving tens of millions of users.Our new showThis was originally recorded for “Friday with Azeem Azhar”, a new show that takes place every Friday at 9am PT and 12pm ET.

There's a special kind of dread that comes from driving a car that is about to run out of gas or power. That may be why electric vehicle advocates say highways need to have more EV charging stations for people who make the switch to electric. Those advocates had a recent win. A federal judge ordered the Trump Administration to unfreeze funding for EV infrastructure. But Minnesota's funding is still in limbo.Minnesota was one of 16 states plus the District of Columbia that sued over the funding freeze. But the court order only applied to 14 states, not including Minnesota. Great Plains Institute Senior EV Policy Specialist Moaz Uddin Mian joins MPR News host Nina Moini to explain.

In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen Bhogal sits down with Ed Miliband, the UK's Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. Miliband is on a mission to transform Britain into a clean energy superpower by 2030, aiming to cut bills, create jobs, and enhance energy security through zero-carbon electricity - despite being dubbed a "net zero zealot" by some newspapers.... They delve into the ambitious target of 95% clean energy by 2030 and explore the huge challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Ed discusses the government's current actions, the politicisation of climate action, and how they plan to bridge the gap between long-term goals and immediate benefits for households.

Washington state is taking quick action to meet its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As part of it, last year the state spent $45 million dollars to help lower income people buy or lease electric vehicles. To do this, they lowered the barrier for getting a rebate – all you needed to do was self-report your income or say you were enrolled in an assistance program, and the dealer would discount thousands of dollars from the price. But a new investigation from Cascade PBS has found that some of the money didn’t go towards the people it was intended for.

Electric vehicle use in Minnesota boomed over the past decade due to the popular fleet of Tesla vehicles driving into the market. However, the Q1 auto sales report from earlier this year, showed a drop in sales for Tesla's EVs. The indication that there might be a slowing popularity for the brand had some experts blame the company's CEO Elon Musk and his relationship with American politics. Even Gov. Tim Walz took at jab at Musk and the company's business woes. “The governor has certainly continued, to some degree, his feud with Elon Musk,” said Walker Orenstein, energy, natural resources and sustainability reporter for the Minnesota Star Tribune. “[Walz] jokes about it not being the best idea, because Elon Musk is a very rich man.”Politics could be a driving force in the drop in Tesla sales, but Orenstein explained the EV growing market is another culprit. “Tesla's share of the EV market was declining well before [Q1 auto sales] — I think that it reflects more options that are available to people,” Orenstein said. “At this point in time, the governor doesn't need Tesla and Musk quite to the same degree, and that's because the marketplace for EVs has just grown so much.”New EV companies, and well-established automakers have been electrifying the EV market across the country, but cold weather and a lack of model options are also the reason why Minnesotans haven't fully embraced the technology.

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?"

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?

  North Carolina's economy has undergone many important transitions over the last several decades. But in recent years there's been no more promising arrival on the scene than the electric vehicle industry.

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. Topics **01:35 Revolutionizing EV Charging**05:21 Joseph Vellone's Journey in Renewable Energy**07:47 The Unique Opportunity at ChargeScape**12:00 Transforming the EV Charging Experience**13:30 Make Money w/ Smart Charging**18:04 The Future of EVs + Renewable Energy**20:03 Building a High-Performance Team**23:10 Managing Startup Intensity Without Burnout**25:58 How to Successfully Sell to Utilities**28:50 The Benefits of Having Automakers as Strategic Investors**31:17 The Role of AI in ChargeScape's Strategy**33:44 Understanding EV Industry Backlash**37:59 Resilience of EV Charging Amid Political PushbackLinks**Joseph Vellone | ChargeScape**Connect with Somil on LinkedIn | Support the showIf you're gonna change the world, you're gonna need a world-class team.

Chinese e-mobility technology is poised to transform large swathes of Africa's transportation ecosystem in the coming decade, but in very different ways than in other regions where EVs are the primary focus. Bicylces, scooters, tricyles, tractors, cars, minibuses, and full-sized coaches, all made in China, are becoming increasingly popular in dozens of African countries. This week, Eric & Cobus are thrilled to introduce CGSP's newest podcast The Africa EV Show with Njenga Hakeenah, which highlights the latest trends in this dynamic sector. Njenga, who is also CGSP's Nairobi-based climate editor, reveals which countries are moving fastest to incorporate e-mobility in their transportation mix and what the major obstacles to e-mobility adoption on the continent are.
