Podcasts about Supercharger

Chevy set a new EV range record going nearly 1,060 miles on a single charge in an optimized, but unmodified Chevy Silverado EV Work Truck that no one saw coming. No one, that is, except Chargeway founder Matt Teske. His EV route-planning map predicted the Silverado's record-setting run with better than 99% accuracy – and he's here to talk about it on today's electric episode of Quick Charge! We've also got a deep dive into what I think the biggest issue facing more widespread EV adoption might be, and a new solution from Blink Charging that might solve it.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Tesla and Alphabet's Q2 2025 earnings calls, Tesla's growing robotaxi ambitions and the launch of Zoox's limited fixed-route service in Las Vegas.Tesla's Robotaxi expansion ambitions are growing, and on their Q2 2025 earnings call, Elon Musk disclosed that Tesla is looking to expand robotaxi service to Nevada, Florida, Arizona and the Bay Area as soon as this weekend. Two key factors behind Tesla's ability to scale quickly are its expansive Supercharger network and its streamlined sensor suite, which is much simpler than those used by Waymo.In Las Vegas, Zoox which requires a robust sensor-suite opened service to members of the public through what the company calls an “Explorers Program”. The operation is highly restricted running only between Resorts World and Luxor, with every ride requiring concierge assistance, giving it the feel of a Disneyland ride rather than an robotaxi service.While robotaxis are scaling, the autonomous trucking industry continues to work through its business model. Multiple models are emerging, with some companies focused on licensing their technology and others building vertically integrated operations.This week, Walt joined the PACCAR earnings call to ask a question about their partnership with Aurora.Episode Chapters0:00 Tesla Q2 2025 Earnings / Robotaxi4:26 FSD Take Rate6:53 Safety9:38 Robotaxi Expansion to Las Vegas?11:15 Zoox Las Vegas Service17:55 Who Launches Commercial Service First in Vegas?

Get insights on what this means for the evolution of transportation retail and charging infrastructure.

A daily Chronicle of AI Innovations in July 22 2025Calling All AI Innovators | AI Builder's ToolkitHello AI Unraveled Listeners,In today's AI Daily News,

The State of California is moving to ban the sale of Tesla cars amid claims that the company and its CEO, Elon Musk, have misled buyers about the self-driving capabilities of their cars. We've also got market-leading news out of Vietnam and a pricey, pricey lesson for one VW ID.Buzz buyer on today's lesson-learning episode of Quick Charge! We also ask what this might mean for the recent Uber/Lucid autonomous taxi tie-up and go through a full rundown of the fastest depreciating EVs on the market (and yes, there are four Tesla models in the top 10 ... because the Cybertruck was too new to qualify).

We met some absolute legends this week—real hot rodders who actually drive their builds, not just polish them. Between burnouts, roadside chats, and some seriously thoughtful gifts in the mail, we are just so blessed.Oh, and in true DD Speed Shop fashion, we celebrated by buying another completely unnecessary supercharger. Because obviously, that's what you do when you're feeling inspired and slightly unhinged.

On today's sunny side up episode of Quick Charge, we take a look at the latest from the world of solar power, and discuss Congressional Republicans' plans to limit your energy independence by eliminating a critical tax credit for homeowners nearly ten years early. (!) We've also got a quick review of a massive solar farm powering 200,000 homes in Indiana and the biggest solar project East of the Mississippi – both part of a record 98% of all new power generation and grid capacity introduced in 2025 coming from wind and solar. Those are jobs, those are lower utility rates, those are energy independence ... so why are Congressional Republicans working to make that more expensive?
