Text the show! Originally aired February 17, 2026.This week's Best Of episode begins with a confession that usually surprises people:I drive an electric Hummer.That doesn't make me less conservative.It actually reinforces one of my core beliefs.People don't reject innovation—they reject being told what they're supposed to like.In this episode, we separate technology from politics and examine how mandates, subsidies, and political messaging have transformed a consumer product into a cultural battlefield.The conversation explores: Why coercion creates resistance  How markets drive better innovation than mandates  The history of energy transitions  California's energy contradictions  Why consumer freedom produces better outcomes than political planning This isn't really an episode about electric vehicles.It's an episode about liberty.

It has been five years since adoption of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which, among many things, included federal funding for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program. Michigan was fortunate to receive $110 million of those funds.  On this week's Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, Steve Minton, who heads the Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) Office of Major Projects, provides an update on progress in executing contracts and installing chargers across the state's NEVI program. Minton helped launch the MDOT program and offers his insights on the challenges and rewards of contracting, installation and meeting the needs of electric vehicle users.

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast gets its first taste of Lotus this week as Benjamin test drives the new Eletre. This large electric SUV might not be the most Lotus thing you could think of, but it represents a new chapter of the automaker, one that has left Benjamin with many thoughts and impressions that he is keen to share. Then Sami reviews the 2026 Ford Bronco Sport, a car he had trouble understanding in the past, but now totally gets, especially in light of all these other fake off-road trims that have come out. With a bunch of upgrades and features, the Bronco Sport stands out, but is a bit expensive. Sami details more Pros and Cons in his full take of this cute-ute. Thanks for listening!

Critical minerals are back in the spotlight as the global push for access to those supply chains grows – along with the risks for credit and areas like national security. These elements, like lithium and cobalt, are key components of everything from electric vehicles to semiconductors. A subset, called rare earths, have qualities like magnetic powers and high heat resistance. But just because you have them, doesn't mean they are ready for use.  There is a complex and expensive extraction and refining process – and China dominates the world's production capacity. Many countries are years away from refining minerals at the same scale domestically. We discuss how critical minerals have become economic levers, spurred by geopolitical and trade tensions, demand for high-tech defense equipment, investment in AI and data centers, and diversification of energy sources.   Host: William Foster, Senior Vice President, Sovereign Risk, Moody's Ratings   Guests:  Atsi Sheth, Chief Credit Officer, Moody's Ratings Claire Li, Senior Analyst, Credit Strategy, Moody's Ratings   Related Research:  Sovereigns – Emerging Markets - Critical minerals boom offers a step up the value chain if structural constraints ease 13 July 2026 Flipbook: Critical mineral and material reliance poses risks to US, but policy support offers relief, 5 November 2025 Critical minerals – China: A detailed view of the sector, 12 June 2025 Artificial Intelligence – Rare earth metals: China's dominance of critical minerals supply chain creates vulnerabilities for tech firms, 2 July 2025 Moody's Emerging Markets Credit Risk Insights & Analysis © 2026 Moody's Corporation and/or its licensors and affiliates.

The show starts with Sami's thorough review of the 2026 Subaru Trailseeker, an electric wagon that shares its bones with the Toyota bZ Woodland. Can a Subaru feel like the rest of its family while being so closely related to a Toyota, or does no one actually care if it feels all that different from an Outback or Forester? Then Benjamin pilots the 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata around the rural backroads to find his happy place. A focused machine with no true rivals, Benjamin has plenty to say about the latest Miata, with a mostly positive spin. Finally Benjamin gives us an update on the new Hankook Ventus tires fitted to his Subaru Outback, and responds to some listener feedback. Thanks for listening!

Electric vehicles are becoming more common on Australian roads as fuel prices remain unstable and more drivers look for cheaper ways to travel. Here's what you need to know if you are thinking about making the switch. - riɛ̈ɛ̈th ye keek thiɔ̈ɔ̈ŋ karaba aa keek ci juëc dhɛ̈l yic pan Australia ka akuëën wëëu ye miök ɣɔɔc ŋuɔt kuc thok ku acie reel tɛ̈tok ku kɔc juëëc kuëth aa wic dhɛ̈l puɔ̈lic bi keek ya caath.

BMW Financial Services' lease penetration has normalized following the elimination of the federal electric vehicle tax credit, says Ole Jensen, chief executive and president of the captive in North America.  “We [have] slightly higher penetration when it comes to [battery EVs] in terms of leasing, because a lot of people [are] maybe uncertain about if they like the car, if they like the technology. They want to have the option of returning the car,” he says, adding that battery life concerns remain even as 3-year-old EVs come back to the manufacturer with 95% of battery life remaining. The captive's finance penetration sits at about 50% lease and 50% loan, Jensen says during a special episode of “The Roadmap Podcast.”  “I would predict that we see a further normalization ... because you will always have people who want to lease [and] you always have people who want to own the car,” he says.  Globally, the share of new BMW Group vehicles leased or financed through its financial services segment rose to 51.6% in the first quarter compared with 43% a year prior, according to the OEM's quarterly statement published May 6. Leasing penetration also varies regionally, Jensen says.  “We see very high lease shares on the East and on the West Coast, naturally,” he says. “Since the West Coast is so dominant in the BEV market still, with a higher leasing, that might be also driving currently our higher leasing penetration on BEV.” Despite lease volume normalizing, BMW Financial Services, along with parent company BMW Group, are investing in EVs. In fact, the manufacturer recently completed an expansion of its Plant Spartanburg in Greer, S.C., where it will assemble the next-generation BMW X5 line, which includes fully electric and hydrogen-powered versions. BMW Financial Services was the 12th-largest auto lender by outstandings at yearend 2025 with a portfolio of $43.1 billion, according to the latest Big Wheels ranking data. In this episode of “The Roadmap,” Auto Finance News editor Amanda Harris and Jensen discuss the electric vehicle landscape along with affordability, ancillary product demand, floorplan financing trends and technology investments.

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast open-door policy is in full effect as we welcome another great guest, journalist Bradley Iger, who jumps in to discuss the unbelievably cool, made-in-America Czinger 21C VMax hypercar. Beyond its amazing looks and incredible design philosophy, Iger talks about what it's like to pilot one of these legitimate racecar for the streets from the centre seat. Then Benjamin chimes in to review the 2026 Ram 2500 Laramie, which was tasked with his own racecar towing duties. How'd the big diesel truck fare when dealing with the long road between Montreal and Toronto? Maybe a better question is, how did Benjamin deal with a track day gone wrong, and how has that changed his outlook on the sport? Finally, our hosts discussed the 2026 Dodge Charger one more time, this time with Bradley's perspective of being a multiple-time owner of the previous generation Dodges. What was the American automaker going for, and what mishaps further explain just how compromised this car really is? Thanks for listening!

More people are going electric amid global fuel uncertainty. The June quarter saw a boom in electric vehicle sales, with fully EVs seeing a 19% increase compared to the same period last year. When combined with plug-in hybrid vehicles, the market saw an almost three-fold increase. BYD New Zealand General Manager Warren Wilmot told Mike Hosking a fuel crisis in the 70s caused people to shift from big cars to small ones, and a similar thing is happening now. He says couple that with huge leaps in technology, a car is no longer a car, and people are now seeing the benefits of switching to an electrified product.

Volkswagen Layoffs and the Debate Over German Military Conscription. Guest: Judy Dempsey and Thaddeus McCotter. Judy Dempsey reports on the crisis at Volkswagen, where 100,000 workers face layoffs due to the global shift toward electric vehicles and Chinese competition.

Washington is one of 17 states trying to break up with gasoline. It wants every new car sold here to be electric by 2035. But so far, drivers have been slow to adopt electric vehicles. Nationally, only one in ten new cars sold each year is electric. That’s because EVs are expensive, and finding a place to charge them can be inconvenient. So one Seattle inventor came up with a workaround. He’s developing a simple way to convert gas cars to plug-in hybrids. On today's episode, could transforming gas cars into hybrids jump start our all-electric future? Or will this idea stall out before it even gets rolling?

Welcome guest Chad Kirchner on this week's episode which is loaded with all kinds of interesting car discussion. The show starts off with Benjamin's review of the 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack, which boasts a 550 horsepower inline six cylinder engine. However, Ben notes some important details about the size of this new muscle-y car, and suggests that it's stuck in a sort of limbo with few actual customers and rivals. Then Chad reports on the newly detailed Slate Auto's EV pickup truck. Now with an official price, and list of features (or features missing), our round table can really begin. How influential will this startup be, when it lacks a paint job, radio, and power windows? Are other automakers checking their rear view mirrors about the Slate truck? Chad shares his thoughts and more! Thanks for listening!

A new study claims that by fitting your home out with solar panels and swapping to an EV, you can save $3000 a year. The savings gap between electric homes and cars and fossil fuelled homes and cars has doubled in two years as energy prices have increased and the price of solar, batteries, electric vehicles and other appliances has fallen. CEO of Rewiring Aotearoa Mike Casey told Mike Hosking that, 'Solar on the roof charging an EV is the cheapest overall. So it's kind of one step at a time is what we're advising most people.' He says more Kiwis should be thinking about a gradual switch to solar power. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michael Spencer is the Founder and CEO of Zeno, an electric mobility company building electric motorcycles, battery-swapping infrastructure, and distributed energy systems across East Africa. Drawing on experience from nearly a decade building businesses in East Africa and four years at Tesla during its hypergrowth era, Spencer is applying lessons from EV charging infrastructure to one of the world's largest transportation markets: two- and three-wheel vehicles. In this episode of Inevitable, Spencer explains why electrifying motorcycles in emerging markets may be one of the most efficient ways to reduce transportation costs and emissions. He discusses how Zeno combines hardware, software, and energy infrastructure to create a business that looks like an electric vehicle company on the surface but increasingly operates like a distributed utility. The conversation explores lessons from Tesla's Supercharger network, why Kenya became Zeno's launch market, how battery swapping and AI-powered infrastructure management drive capital efficiency, and why building hard-tech businesses may become even more valuable in an AI-driven world. Spencer also shares his vision for turning Zeno's charging network into a distributed renewable energy platform capable of serving both mobility and grid customers.

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast goes full EV this week, starting with Benjamin's review of the 2026 Honda Accord Hybrid. He says it's not dull, or bland, but NORMCORE, whatever that means. Well, let him explain! It seems to do everything it needs to and can maybe even out-do its crossover cousins across the Honda showroom in a few things, like, say fuel economy. It's an interesting review of a sedan when there's so few to choose from in the first place. Then Sami revisits the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid. Following Benjamin's positive impression of the Japanese crossover, Sami took it upon himself to compare it to the 2026 Kia Sportage PHEV, to find out if the Mitsubishi is actually good, or just good in a vacuum. Lots of surprises here! Then the show ends on a kind note from a listener. Thanks for listening!

Gordon Chang and Charles Burton critique the Canadian government's failure to block Chinese products made with forced labor, specifically aluminum and electric vehicles.

What's this? The 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Electric Vehicle has zoomed onto the Unnamed Automotive Podcast for its review? Benjamin has plenty to talk about with this seriously refreshed compact crossover. Loaded with more range, a new interior and that same controversial third row, does this one of a kind PHEV make sense for today's buyers? And what is going on at Mitsubishi these days anyways? Then Sami talks quickly about the 2026 Genesis Electrified GV70, before quickly going on a tangent about weird car features that haven't been perfected and what that means for a mature market like the automotive industry. Thanks for listening everyone!

Michael Bernstam reveals that China has significantly reduced its oil imports by nearly half by drawing on massive strategic reserves of 1.4 billion barrels and increasing electric vehicle adoption. Simultaneously, the U.S. has reached record domestic oil production of nearly 14 million barrels per day. These factors combined help lower global oil prices despite declining inventories in other OECD countries. (10)1903
