This week on Everybody in the Pool, we're starting in full aspirational mode (with one of my least climate-friendly obsessions) — with iconic classic cars rebuilt as state-of-the-art EVs. Think: vintage Porsches, Land Rovers, Pagodas, even a GT40… all stripped to bare metal, fully restored, and reborn as clean-air electric machines. Yeah, I'm dying over here.My guest is Justin Lunny, founder and CEO of Everrati, a company that electrifies beloved classic cars while also building a cutting-edge EV powertrain platform used by new low-volume automakers around the world.It's a story about craft and circularity — giving existing cars a new, zero-emission life — and about how aspiration drives climate adoption. Wealthy early adopters (and their garages) help prove what's possible, push down cost curves, and build social permission for the EV future.We get into:How Everrati “redefines” classic cars using full CAD modeling, advanced engineering, and hand-built restorationWhy their EV powertrains use motors and components normally found in hypercars and Formula EThe economics: donor cars, bespoke builds, and why the least-loved 964s are perfect candidatesWhy keeping old cars alive — electrically — is a circularity winThe B2B side: powering new sports cars and specialty vehicles for low-volume OEMsWhy electrifying halo cars helps drive broader consumer aspirationBattery modularity, future upgrades, and designing for long-term sustainabilityJustin's personal journey from tech entrepreneur to climate-driven car nutLinks:Everrati: https://everrati.com/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show:https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1210: President Trump moves to unwind fuel-economy rules, hybrids surge while EV sales stumble across major brands, and OpenAI hits “code red” as the AI race heats up.Show Notes with links:The Trump administration is preparing to undo Biden-era fuel economy rules, arguing the standards have inflated new-car prices and forced unwanted EV adoption.Proposed rules expected to significantly soften the Biden-era 2031 target of ~50 mpg.Detroit automaker execs, including Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa, will attend Wednesday's announcement.Trump frames the rollback as necessary to reduce vehicle prices, despite economists noting price drops wouldn't be immediate.Trump said he's “bringing back the automobile business,” predicting the industry will be “bigger than we've ever been.”He noted he likes EVs and believes hybrids “are working really well,” but defended ending what he called the “insane electric vehicle mandate” to ensure buyers “have a choice.”November delivered a clear message from American shoppers: hybrids are in, EVs… not so much. Across Toyota, Ford, Honda, Hyundai and Kia, strong hybrid gains couldn't offset steep EV drop-offs after the loss of federal tax credits—shaking up sales trends as dealers prep for year-end pushes.Toyota sales rose 2.7%, powered by light trucks, but EV volume cratered; electrified sales (mostly hybrids) still made up 44% of all deliveries.Ford deliveries dipped 0.7% as F-150 Lightning sales fell 72% and Mustang Mach-E dropped 49%, while hybrids climbed 14%.Honda sales slid 15% on semiconductor shortages; EVs collapsed—Prologue down 87% and ZDX down 98%.Hyundai-Kia stayed mixed: Hyundai down 2.3% as EV demand tanked again, Kia up 2.7% on strong hybrids and core crossovers.“With more tariffed products replacing existing nontariffed inventory, prices are drifting higher, leading to slower sales… and this may last through the remainder of the year and into next year,” said Cox Automotive's Charlie Chesbrough.OpenAI is hitting the panic button—literally—declaring a “code red” to overhaul ChatGPT's quality as Google's Gemini surge and Anthropic's business traction close the gap. With massive data-center spending, user expectations rising, and now early signs of ads coming to ChatGPT, the pressure is officially on.Sam Altman told staff OpenAI is pausing other projects to focus entirely on ChatGPT's speed, reliability, personalization, and question-handling, including starting a daily call for those responsible for improving ChatGPT.Competitor pressure is mounting: Google's latest Gemini model beat OpenAI onJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

WWJ auto analyst John McElroy reports Mercedes is getting ready to use a new kind of electric motor in one of its EVs.

According to new data published by vehicle compliance platform Bonnet almost 50% of us are driving with an expired WoF or Rego And for vehicles that are eligible for Road User Charges - mainly EVs and diesel - 1 in 5 are behind on their payments So what's going on? Is it laziness, forgetfulness or something in between? Bonnet founder Steph Kennard joins Jesse to discuss.

John Helveston of George Washington University discusses why a U.S. pullback from China on EVs is risky, and why engagement could strengthen America’s auto industry. --- China has rapidly become the center of global EV innovation, producing cars that are cheaper, faster to develop, and increasingly competitive in international markets. The United States, by contrast, is pulling back, eliminating incentives and pursuing policies that distance the country from China just as the global EV transition accelerates. George Washington University’s John Helveston, whose work focuses on global EV markets and China’s manufacturing system, argues that this course risks sidelining the U.S. from the technologies and supply chains shaping the automotive future. On the podcast, he explains why a more pragmatic approach that protects national security and workers while engaging with China’s central role in the EV ecosystem may be essential for America’s long-term position in the global auto industry. John Helveston is an associate professor in the department of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering at George Washington University.

UK AUTUMN BUDGET ANNOUNCED The UK Government finally announced the autumn Budget, after weeks of leaks and rumours. There was some motoring related aspects, most notable being from 2028 new electric and plug-in hybrid car drivers will have to pay-per-mile which is additional to previously announced measures. How this is to be run has yet to be decided, with a consultation being conducted in early 2026.More money is being allocated the Electric Car Grant, increasing the pot by a further £1.3 billion. Additionally, the luxury car tax will increase, only for EVs, to £50,000, following a lot of lobbying by industry. Click this EV Powered article link here, to read more. MOTABILITY FORCED TO REMOVE PREMIUM CARS FROM SCHEMEThanks to a dishonest and disgusting campaign, that attacked those with extra mobility needs, Motability has been forced to removed premium brand vehicles from their scheme before the Government caved to such abhorrent pressure and pushed to remove nice things from a segment of society. There are many reasons, both factual and moral, why this did not need to happen. Click this Autocar article link here, to read more. NCAP TO REVISE ADAS TESTING As this show has stated many times, along with others in the automotive media, the current raft of ADAS safety systems are not fit for use on public roads. NCAP has announced they are revising the testing standards and procedures for them. After admitting they are not good enough, by the way they will now be tested, NCAP is finally doing something.

GOVERNMENT DECIDES PHYSICS DOESN'T APPLY TO E-VANSThe UK Government, following hard lobbying by fleet operators who didn't pay attention to details, is going to reclassify electric vans in a way that removes them from being classified as HGVs, even though they are overweight. One of the key elements of doing this will be not requiring a first year MOT. In the same week as it was shown that a quarter of all vans fail their first MOT. For more on the reclassification of e-vans, click this electrive article link here. To learn about one aspect that makes this a very dumb idea, click this Motoring Research article link here.

Send us your feedback In this episode, Technology Partner Kate Cruickshank sits down with Buddhika Rajapakse, Associate Director at Concept Consulting, to explore the untapped potential of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology in New Zealand and discuss the key findings from the recently released multi-client report Powerful Potential: New Zealand's Vehicle-to-Grid Opportunity.[01:14] Kate and Buddhika consider the fundamentals of bi-directional electric vehicle (EV) charging and why EV batteries represent a unique and flexible energy storage opportunity. They explain that, beyond powering a car, an EV battery can also be used in certain circumstances to supply electricity to appliances, homes, businesses, and even feed energy back into the grid. The conversation breaks down the different bidirectional applications (vehicle-to-load (V2L), vehicle-to-home/premises (V2H/V2P), and vehicle-to-grid (V2G)) and how each works in practice.[06:45] Buddhika discusses the critical technology stack required for V2G to succeed, including V2G-capable EVs, chargers, smart retail offerings, and interoperable software, emphasising the importance of each layer working in synchronicity.[10:02] They then turn to the report itself, outlining the drivers behind its development, the sector-wide collaboration that shaped it, and the modelling used to quantify the value V2G could unlock across the transmission and distribution electricity value chain, the wholesale market and generation and also for individual consumers.[13:11] Kate and Buddhika consider the consumer experience as a critical factor for the success of V2G uptake, highlighting the need for simple, compelling consumer information and offerings. Buddhika points out the UK's EV-as-a-service type model from Octopus Energy and BYD as a leading example that make V2G effortless and attractive for consumers.[17:04] Finally, they consider what industry participants should be focusing on next, including the importance of national and Trans-Tasman alignment on standards, and the long-term outlook where the use of V2G technologies could significantly enhance grid resilience and flexibility.Information in this episode is accurate as at the date of recording, 6 November 2025.Please contact Kate Cruickshank or our Technology team if you need legal advice and guidance on any of the topics discussed in the episode. And don't forget to rate, review or follow MinterEllisonRuddWatts wherever you get your podcasts.

That guiding principle shapes everything about the vehicle's radical design. As Steve Fambro explained in today's episode, “Aptera is about using the least amount of energy to go from point A to point B,” emphasizing that efficiency isn't a feature of the car, it is the car.Steve, Aptera's co CEO and co founder, walked through the engineering mindset that makes their approach unique. As an electrical engineer, he thinks in terms of systems and losses, so the team engineered the vehicle from the ground up to minimize drag and weight. The result is a three wheeled, solar integrated EV that consumes just 100 watt hours per mile, less than half of what even skilled hypermiling drivers typically achieve. Steve put it simply: “The low drag, the lightweight, and the integrated solar... those are the three parts of the equation to give it that magic.”As reservation holders continue to express enthusiasm, Steve's real world perspective keeps the story grounded. The team is focused on scaling responsibly, leaning on experienced partners like Roush to engineer critical elements for mass production. Aptera's early journey wasn't linear. Steve and his co founder Chris faced misalignment with hired leadership and ultimately watched the original company collapse while they pursued other ventures. Returning with lessons learned, new battery capabilities, and a stronger market, they rebuilt Aptera on firmer foundations.Today the world is meeting them where they are. Their reservation count exceeded early expectations almost overnight. Media attention, including a recent appearance on Jay Leno's show, signaled not just curiosity but genuine enthusiasm.The story of Aptera represents more than another EV. It reflects a reframing of what efficient transportation can look like and illustrates how a focused engineering question can lead to reshaping an entire market.tl;dr:Aptera Motors is revolutionizing EVs with hyper-efficient, solar-powered vehicles designed for maximum energy efficiency.The vehicle's aerodynamic shape and lightweight materials minimize drag and energy consumption.Aptera's integrated solar panels can add up to 40 miles of range per day.Thousands of preorders signal strong demand as Aptera prepares for production next year.Steve Fambro's focus on efficiency and perseverance drives Aptera's mission for sustainable transportation.How to Develop Self-Deprivation As a SuperpowerSteve Fambro's superpower is his ability to deprive himself of comforts for as long as necessary to finish a job. Drawing from his military experience, Steve shared, “I don't let any discomfort… be a factor in my performance.” He described how he can work in extreme heat or go without sleep, food, or rest when required. This skill allows him to focus on achieving his goals without distraction, no matter the challenges.Steve recounted how this superpower helped him during Aptera's early days, as well as in his previous ventures. For example, while working in the Middle East, he endured long hours in 120-degree heat alongside a construction crew, refusing to let discomfort slow him down. His willingness to push himself, even in challenging conditions, has been key to his success.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Practice self-discipline by intentionally depriving yourself of small comforts periodically.Embrace stoic philosophy to build mental resilience and adaptability.Focus on your goals rather than temporary discomfort to stay motivated.Learn from experiences that push you outside your comfort zone, such as travel or challenging work conditions.By following Steve's example and advice, you can make self-deprivation a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileSteve Fambro (he/him):co-CEO/Founder, Aptera MotorsAbout Aptera Motors: Aptera's mission is to create the most efficient transportation on the planet. We achieve this by leveraging breakthroughs in battery efficiency, aerodynamics, material science and manufacturing.

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode, Matt takes a relationship quote and flips it into a perspective shift for shop owners, managers, and specialists: instead of obsessing over “finding the right” customers, employees, or employers, focus on becoming the right shop and the right person—over and over again. He explores how this mindset applies to attracting younger clients, building a place top technical and mechanical specialists want to work, and evolving with changes like EVs, culture, and work–life balance.Key Talking PointsThe quote that kicked it off: “Love isn't about fate and magic bracelets and destiny. It's about finding someone you can stand to be around for 10 minutes at a time,” and the idea that it's less about finding the one and more about becoming the right one again and again.Translating relationship advice into shop life:Stop fixating on “finding the right clients,” “the right shop,” “the right boss,” or “the right employee.”Shift the focus to becoming the right shop, manager, owner, or employee.Becoming the right shop for your current and future clients:Many shops are currently tailored to an older clientele (boomers) and have great rapport with them.Younger clients often care deeply about your why—your purpose, values, and what you stand for.Start projecting an image and message that resonates with the clients you'll need in the future, not just the ones you serve today.Becoming the right employer:Think about the types of technical specialists and mechanical specialists you'd love to attract.What are they after now, and what will they value most in the near future (purpose, time off, culture, tools, training, environment)?Make tangible changes in the shop that align with those values and make sure those changes are visible.Creative ways to “show, not tell” as an employer:Hosting training classes in your shop so other shops' staff and owners can see your facility.Letting others experience climate control, lighting, equipment, computers at every bay, etc.Letting your current team's honest feedback become a powerful, organic recruiting message.Culture vs. pure production:As shops hit their production targets more consistently, culture starts to matter more.High-output but toxic people can drag down the overall environment.Sometimes the right fit is someone who might produce a little less but makes the team function better and reduces animosity.What it means to be the right employee:Contributing to ethical profit and strong production.Being a good teammate who doesn't undermine the system.Helping with what the shop needs: clients, employees, reputation, and growth.Being able to demonstrate your value beyond hours billed—teamwork, leadership, culture.Evolving with technology and the market (EV example):Understanding your shop's stance on EVs and being able to discuss it intelligently.Looking at the local EV car park, investment needs, safety, and training.Positioning the shop to succeed ethically and profitably as the car parc changes.Seeing the shop as an ecosystem:Front of house, back of house, management, and employees as symbiotic systems.Shared goals: profit, stability, and long-term perpetuation of

Tiny parts of vehicle tyres are making up the biggest source of microplastics in our ocean, according to marine scientists. They have been looking at tyre particles on roadsides and in storm water in Auckland and say almost half the rubber that sheds on our roads ends up in our environment. The vehicles contributing most to the problem are both EVs and Utes. Marine microplastics researcher at the University of Auckland, Dr Samantha Ladewig spoke to Lisa Owen.

The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission has just released its 2025 annual report to Congress. The annual report's analysis and recommendations are a crucial source of information for Congress, the executive branch, and observers of US-China relations. This year's report includes 28 key recommendations for Congress.  On this episode of China Global, we have two Commissioners joining us to discuss the report, Commissioner Aaron Friedberg and Commissioner Mike Kuiken. Commissioner Friedberg is Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University and co-director of its Center for International Security Studies. He is also a non-resident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, counselor to the National Bureau of Asian Research, and previously served as Vice President Dick Cheney's Deputy Assistant for National Security Affairs.Commissioner Kuiken is a Distinguished Visiting Fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution and advisor to the Special Competitive Studies Project. He has over 20 years of experience shaping US national security policy, including 12 years on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Timestamps:[00:00] Intro[1:47] China's Role in the Axis of Autocracy[03:22] Best Response from US and Allies?[05:23] The Interlocking Innovation Flywheels Effect[07:47] Made in China 2025 Plan: 10 Years Later[10:25] Why Does Chinese Dominance Matter?  [12:39] Policy Prescriptions for the US[16:24] Lessons Learned from China Shock 1.0 and Preparing for 2.0[21:09] Bipartisan Political Will on China Policy[24:06] Taiwan as a Vital Interest to the US[28:06] Assuaging Taiwanese Doubts in Congress[30:17] Taiwan's Defense Spending Debate  

In Episode 227, Tu and Lei break down a massive week in the global EV industry — one where China's innovation pace keeps accelerating while Western automakers scramble to respond.  Xiaomi's YU7 officially outsells the Tesla Model Y in October, marking a symbolic shift in China's most competitive EV segment. Meanwhile, Tesla's domestic sales slump to 26,000, signaling that aggressive price cuts and financing perks may not be enough as Chinese challengers tighten the pressure.The hosts also unpack XPeng's viral AI Day, featuring the “Iron Lady” humanoid robot, new L4 capable RoboTaxi prototypes, the Turing chip's rising importance, and XPeng's “physical AI” strategy — positioning the company as a vertically integrated mobility+AI platform rather than just an automaker.On the U.S. side, GM sparks headlines after reportedly urging suppliers to “de-China” their supply chains by 2027 — a massive, risky reshoring effort that could reshape cost structures across North America. Tu and Lei discuss the feasibility and geopolitical backdrop, including the Nexperia crisis, ICE tariff pressures, and USMCA uncertainty._____________________They also hit:

EVs can feel like a battlefield of headlines and hot takes, so we put the rhetoric aside and dig into what actually matters on the road: incentives, charging reality, range you can trust, and the freedom to choose what fits your life. We start with a clear-eyed look at Honda's massive EV write-down and a supplier lawsuit tied to a delayed electric pickup, then unpack how policy nudges, mandates, and market signals collide to shape buyer behavior. No cheerleading, no doom—just what's changing, what isn't, and the trade-offs drivers face today.From there, we go wheels-on-the-ground with a Texas road trip designed to push limits. Big Bend's 235-mile gap between chargers, the relief of a 460-mile electric truck, and the surprising power of simple planning all come into play. We share practical tactics to stretch range, the underrated advantage of charging overnight at RV pedestals in state parks, and the candid truth about 30-minute fast charges that can derail a tight schedule. If you value convenience, this part matters. If you love long-haul spontaneity, it matters even more.We also tackle the cultural fog around EVs. Political theater turned cars into symbols, but ownership remains personal. Data shows aversion plummets when people get hands-on time behind the wheel. For most daily drivers, home charging and lower running costs make a persuasive case. For frequent interstate travelers or time-crunched families, today's charging curve can still be a deal-breaker. That's why we keep returning to the same point: try it, measure the friction in your real routine, and decide for yourself. If an EV gives you more freedom, you'll feel it. If it doesn't, you'll know fast.If this conversation helped clarify your thinking, share it with a friend, subscribe for more straight-talk car coverage, and leave a quick review telling us your biggest EV deal-breaker or must-have.

In this episode, Jack and Robert are on the ground at Everything Electric Melbourne, sharing their first-hand impressions of Australia's rapidly accelerating shift to electric vehicles and clean energy. It's a super informal chat live on stage about what's happening down under—and why the progress here is giving Robert plenty of reasons to feel just a *little* jealous! They dive into: Catching Up Fast– Australia may have started its EV journey later than some countries, but it's now picking up speed fast, with cities like Brisbane leading the charge.   The Affordability Advantage – Australian buyers skipped the early, overpriced EV era. With models like the BYD Atto 3 and Dolphin arriving at genuinely affordable prices, the market is changing quicker than many expected.    Solar Superpower & V2G Potential*– With world-leading rooftop solar, running an EV in Australia is already incredibly cheap. And with vehicle-to-grid technology emerging, your future car might not just drive you—it could pay you.    EV Market Plateau & Persistent FUD – Why is national EV market share seemingly stuck around 10–11%? They discuss the influence of oil-backed pressure campaigns, myths about charging and batteries, and how media narratives slow adoption.    The Next Big Policy Debate– How should governments replace fuel tax revenue as EVs become the norm? And what lessons could Australia take from Norway's wildly successful tax incentives? 0:00 - Introduction from Everything Electric Melbourne  1:01 - An enjoyable show (squeaky bum time!)  2:03 - Observations on the Australian EV Transition  4:19 - Why Australia is moving quickly: Affordability  5:19 - The Solar Advantage & Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)  8:50 - Jack's Verdict on Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD)  10:33 - Q&A Begins  14:09 - Why is the EV market stuck at 10-11%?  16:16 - The importance of the Used EV Market  26:57 - The Mileage Charge/Fuel Tax Problem  31:38 - Weighing up a Weight Tax for Cars   Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: www.everythingelectric.show    Check out our sister channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/EverythingElectricShow   Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Become a YouTube member: use JOIN button above Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show     Everything Electric SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park 6th, 7th & 8th March 2026  EE NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026  EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026  EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026

Lithium is an essential ingredient of most modern electronics. It helps to power our phones, our laptops, and increasingly EVs and other key parts of the green transition. As Thea Riofrancos, a political scientist, environmentalist, and author of the new book “Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism,” explains to Mark on this episode, the story of lithium — how it's mined, how it's refined, and how it makes its way around the world — isn't just a business story. It's a story of geopolitics and power.On this episode, Mark and Thea discuss the surprising story of lithium extraction, how the race to electrify our energy supply is reshaping the global economy, and what it all means for the future of our planet.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1203: Autonomy expands its EV subscription fleet with new brands, Foxconn doubles down on becoming a global EV battery powerhouse, and the U.S. labor market enters a “Great Freeze” that's keeping both hiring and firing on ice. Show Notes with links:EV subscription company Autonomy has secured $25 million to add more than 1,200 vehicles and broaden its lineup beyond Tesla.Autonomy operates a subscription-based model where customers choose an EV in the app, pay by credit card, and receive delivery through dealer partners.New funding brings in Polestar and Volvo models, plus updated Tesla Model 3 and Model Y variants.Recent model-year and off-lease CPO EVs are being added to offer more price points for subscribers.Dealer partners handle delivery—Galpin Motors will lead the Polestar rollout in L.A. using a Deloitte-built digital experience.“Our goal is to make getting a car as easy as streaming a movie… on the customer's terms,” said founder & CEO Scott Painter.Foxconn—the same company that builds your iPhone—is rapidly reinventing itself again, this time as a global battery supplier capable of powering future cars, buses, and data centers.A new $193M battery plant in Kaohsiung is ramping from 0.5 GWh to 1.2 GWh next year, supplying commercial vehicles now and passenger EVs in 2025.Foxconn says it can replicate its full, automated, 85% in-house battery supply chain anywhere in the world, creating local supply for OEM partners.Its EV lineup is expanding (Model C, B, D, E, A), and the company has its first U.S. customer for the Model C—awaiting North American certification.Partnerships are multiplying, including a new electric-bus venture with Mitsubishi Fuso using Foxconn-built battery packs.“We can duplicate this anywhere and scale up,” said Troy Wu, global battery strategy lead. “Customers are looking for one-stop shopping.”A chill has settled over the American labor landscape as companies avoid both layoffs and hiring, creating what economists are calling the “Great Freeze.” It's a market stuck in neutral—good for job security, not so great for career mobility.Layoffs remain low, but hiring has also slowed as companies cling to workers while avoiding expansion during economic uncertainty.Tariff questions, AI impact, supply constraints, and weak pockets like construction are all contributing to hesitancy in adding headcount.Companies are holding onto workers for stability, but a recession could break that trend. Unemployment is still low, yet job openings have fallen to 7.2 million.Career growth is stalling as workers struggle to move roles or negotiate raises in a low-turnover environment.“We're seeing employers and job seekers both trying to wait out any of tJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

EVs were booming, but incentives have been stripped back and recent reports of fires have fueled safety fears. Has media coverage amped up the danger? Also: a year ago a NZ Geographic revealed its own flaky finances to persuade supporters to step up. How did that work out? Read more about this episode of Mediawatch on the RNZ websiteIn this episode:1:06 For a while the EV market boomed with incentives in place, though they came at a cost. Now the incentives have been dialled down - and so has demand.

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com launches with a powerful roundtable featuring Dr. Kelly Victory (https://www.rushtoreason.com/dr-kelly-victory-2), trauma and public-health expert, and Steve House, former health-care executive and longtime analyst. Together, they take listeners into a fast-moving, unfiltered look at free speech, medical censorship, and the disturbing global trends shaping public policy. Why did honest medical debate vanish during COVID? Why is the CDC now admitting gaps in vaccine-autism research after years of denial? And how far are today's Malthusian-minded leaders willing to go—climate mandates, 15-minute cities, population control agendas—to gain power over your daily life? The conversation goes deeper as Steve and Dr. Kelly expose a growing crisis of trust: a collapse in confidence in doctors, the media, the legal system, and government. What happens when truth becomes subjective, experts contradict each other, and critical thinking disappears? And what does it cost to stand against the narrative? Packed with raw honesty, firsthand experiences, and piercing questions, this hour asks listeners to decide: will you choose freedom over force… and can America recover before the window closes? HOUR 2 Hour 2 opens with a powerful, no-nonsense interview featuring Alvin Lui, President of Courage Is a Habit (https://courageisahabit.org), who exposes what he calls the real mission of today's public schools. Is K–12 education still focused on academics—or has it become a pipeline for social-justice indoctrination, emotional manipulation, and Marxist ideology disguised as “empathy” and “mental health”? Alvin breaks down how language contamination, restorative justice, and culturally responsive teaching reshape children's worldview by teaching them to rely on the government, not their parents. How do you protect your kids when teachers get the “best hours” of your child's day… and you only get the leftovers? Then the hour pivots to government overreach on a broader scale—from California's jaw-dropping proposal that could force teens up to age sixteen into booster seats, to new credit-card surcharge schemes that threaten to nickel-and-dime consumers into submission. Are these policies really about safety and business costs… or part of a growing trend where personal freedom shrinks and regulation expands? Packed with insight, candor, and urgency, this hour dares listeners to ask: How much control are we willing to give away—and who benefits when we do? HOUR 3 Hour 3 explodes out of the gate with Jersey Joe (https://www.youtube.com/@jerzeejoe3145) and John taking on one of the biggest battles of our time: truth vs. deception. What happens when people build their worldview on memes, bad data, and AI-generated political fakes that look and sound like the real thing? From Thomas Sowell's warnings about moral superiority to a deepfake Bernie Sanders quote that even Joe fell for, the hour raises a chilling question: how do you find truth in a world where lies are easier than ever to manufacture? Then the tone shifts to opportunity and grit, as Mike Rowe and NVIDIA's Jensen Huang predict that America's next millionaires won't come from Silicon Valley—they'll come from the trades. Plumbers, electricians, mechanics, and young entrepreneurs willing to take risks are building wealth the old-fashioned way: sweat, skill, and guts. But the hour doesn't stay calm for long. Joe and John rip through outrageous real-world stories—dangerous crime policies, ICE operations, exploding government costs, and EVs that fail spectacularly. Finally, Phil Kerpen, president of American Commitment (https://www.americancommitment.org), exposes the stunning truth about AARP and its billion-dollar ties to UnitedHealth. Is the nation's most famous “senior advocacy group” really advocating for seniors… or something far more lucrative? Hour Three is packed with facts, fire, and the kind of questions that make you rethink everything.

Explosive fraud allegations. Extradition. Acquittal. A yacht, a storm… and a tragic ending. In this episode of Jimmy's Jobs of the Future, Katie Prescott, tech correspondent at The Times, takes us inside her new book on Mike Lynch – the brilliant, controversial founder at the centre of Britain's biggest tech scandal. Katie explains how Lynch rose from a nurse-and-fireman family to build Autonomy into a multibillion-dollar company, why HP paid $11bn for it, and how that deal spiralled into one of the most complex legal sagas in modern British business. She talks about writing the book in the aftermath of his death, what she learned from those who worked closest with him, and why his story still hangs over the UK tech ecosystem today. Along the way, Jimmy and Katie dig into power in Big Tech, the culture of entrepreneurship, Dragons' Den, Reggae Reggae Sauce, and what it really takes to report on the people shaping our technological future. If you want to understand how one tech deal became a decade-long war over truth, power and billions, this conversation is unmissable. 00:00 Intro01:35 Katie's new book & why this story matters02:20 Early life and career of Mike Lynch04:55 The rise of Autonomy08:27 The HP acquisition & legal battles16:18 The tragic end and Lynch's legacy24:42 The UK tech ecosystem today35:25 Peter Jones and the startup mindset36:42 How entrepreneurship has evolved37:14 The Reggae Reggae Sauce phenomenon37:59 Katie's transition into journalism39:43 What a journalist's job really is now40:06 Interviewing the world's top tech leaders41:24 Power dynamics inside Big Tech44:32 Future trends in technology50:34 Advice for aspiring journalists51:22 BBC vs The Times55:47 Hiring a tech correspondent57:33 Closing thoughts58:36 End ********** Follow us on socials!

Tesla shareholders approved Elon Musk's $1.2 trillion compensation package despite a Delaware court ruling it illegal, as Chinese competitors sell EVs for $10,000 and Tesla pivots from cars to humanoid robots. We examine why the board gave Musk the largest pay deal in history, how Chinese automakers threaten Tesla's survival, and why Musk demands 25% voting control or threatens to build his AI empire elsewhere.https://wilwaldon.com

The UK automotive sector is navigating a period of significant change, with government policy, economic pressures, and international competition shaping the landscape. Ford UK boss Lisa Brankin outlines the risks posed by reported government measures, including a “pay per mile” on EVs, one of the measures the Chancellor is supposedly looking to address. Brankin tells Sean Farrington that these changes could further suppress demand for electric vehicles at a time when the market is already fragile. She also draws attention to the role of employee car benefit schemes, explaining that any reduction in these incentives could have a substantial impact on the auto industry.Ambitious climate targets set by the government are juxtaposed with the realities of consumer demand, as Brankin describes a market where regulatory ambition outpaces public appetite for electric vehicles. She calls for a coordinated and consistent approach to policy, stressing that ongoing government support is essential for the industry to meet net zero objectives. The interview also addresses the effects of economic uncertainty and the increasing influence of Chinese car manufacturers, which present additional challenges for established brands like Ford.Presenter: Sean Farrington Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones00:00 Introduction and welcome from Fliss and Sean 02:39 Lisa Brankin joins pod discusses tough UK car industry 06:36 Electric vehicle targets and government policy impact 15:29 Chinese car manufacturers and competition 21:21 Brand loyalty and UK manufacturing footprint 26:16 Northern Ireland's economy and opportunities

-Spotify has unveiled an upcoming interactive feature called SongDNA designed to show you the samples, collaborators and covers included in a given track, the company announced. As part of that update, Spotify also revealed that it has acquired WhoSampled, the company behind the SongDNA technology. -Google is rolling out an update to Maps that brings some new tools to the table, including the ability to check on EV charger availability. The app already showed the location of EV chargers, but not if they were available or not. In other words, it was entirely possible to roll up to a charging station only to find a line of EVs waiting for juice. -European policymakers have proposed sweeping changes to the way the EU regulates the tech industry. In just the last few months, the likes of Meta and Google have questioned strict EU policies relating to privacy and AI expansion, but if the European Commission's new package of proposals are passed, a number of big tech roadblocks will be removed. Or at least lifted up a bit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Today, we're hopping back into the archive and revisiting an episode with Gerard Barron, the co-founder, CEO, and chairman of The Metals Company, who joined us to discuss the company's plans to harvest critical metals off the sea floor.  Summary:The Trump administration has made American reindustrialization a top priority, but to do that, the US is going to need access to an abundance of metals like copper, manganese and nickel. The challenge then is to find a way to source these materials that doesn't rely on Chinese supply chains, and won't lead to serious environmental harm.Gerard Barron is the co-founder, CEO and chairman of The Metals Company, which trades on the Nasdaq under the symbol TMC. The Metals Company mission is to harvest and process metal-containing nodules from the sea floor, providing a clean and abundant source of raw materials for an array of critical industries, like steelmaking and EV production. Gerard walks us through the evolution of TMC, their groundbreaking tech, and some recent regulatory breakthroughs that have brought them closer to achieving their goals than ever before.Highlights:The Metals Company Mission (2:07)The history of seabed harvesting (3:43)Land-based supply chains (7:17)TMC's tech (10:44)Regulatory roadblocks (12:28)Defense implications (15:51)EVs (17:37)Korea Zinc deal (19:41)Looking ahead (21:34)PE Involvement (24:22) Links:Gerard's LinkedInThe Metals Company LinkedInThe Metals Company WebsiteICR LinkedInICR TwitterICR Website Feedback:If you have questions about the show, or have a topic in mind you'd like discussed in future episodes, email our producer, Joe@lowerstreet.co.

In this episode, we go deep on the shifting landscape of Bitcoin mining hardware, open-source firmware, and why trustless stacks matter for miners big and small. Fresh off the local Bitcoin++ in Durham, we recap the vibe: a developer-heavy crowd, real collaboration between devs and miners, and our announcement of the Mujina developer preview—an open-source mining firmware now publicly accessible for hands-on testing. We discuss practical demo plans for the HeatPunk Summit, creative power ideas (from inverter gens to EVs like the F-150 Lightning/Cybertruck), and what it takes to stage quiet, controlled mining demos. From secure boot cat-and-mouse games to aftermarket control boards, we unpack why closed firmware is antithetical to Bitcoin's trust-minimized ethos, the history from CGMiner and GPL violations, and how LibriBoard, Hydro Pool, and Start9 packaging can radically reduce friction for at-home and pro operators. We also cover Stratum v2 progress, open-source community wins (Home Assistant integrations, config-first setups), and tangible on-ramps for developers—including free Auradine chips from 256 Foundation for reverse engineering and Bitaxe-based Mujina dev workflows. We close with a candid segment on Freedom Tech, the chilling effects of targeting software developers, and why building and supporting open-source tools is essential for a free society.

Tomorrow's when we're supposed to learn more about how imports and exports have been faring from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, though the 43-day government shutdown may still delay that data release. What might those numbers be able to tell us (whenever they do come out) about some of the impacts of the president's tariffs? Plus, China has a glut of EVs, and that oversupply is starting to spill over into the rest of the world.
