Unprocessed episode, you can be the first!
In this episode of Kilowatt, we dive into Ford's latest electric vehicle strategy as the automaker begins building low-cost LFP battery cells in the United States. This move is aimed directly at keeping competitors like Rivian at bay while paving the way for a highly anticipated $30,000 EV pickup truck. Meanwhile, autonomous driving hits a bump in the road with Waymo issuing a software recall after robotaxis struggled to navigate closed highway construction lanes. We also examine the growing regulatory pressure on semi-autonomous tech, highlighting a new New Jersey legislative bill and federal lawmakers pushing the NHTSA to investigate Tesla's Full Self-Driving claims. Tune in for an essential breakdown of the rapidly changing EV battery landscape and the safety battles defining the future of autonomy.
