About this episode
On today's bitterly cold episode of Quick Charge, Elon says the chip he said was ready six months ago isn't actually ready, Chinese carmakers make a deal with Canada, and a series of new, real-world studies prove that EVs will save your fleet money over diesel, even in the most extreme cold weather use cases.
We've also got another new entrant in the solid state battery race promising more than 600 miles per charge and an innovative new way to keep warm in the winter with a clever use of bricks and excess solar power.
