About this episode
On today's battle-ready episode of Quick Charge, it's Elon Musk vs. the world as big players position themselves for control of enough lithium to build 600 million electric cars and the rest of the industry squares up to Tesla in the battle for market leadership. While Windrose is making sales and expanding into new markets, the Tesla Semi is still in limited tests, Robotaxi launches as a "ride hailing service" in California with randos in the drivers' seat and Academy Award nominated actor/noted college football analyst Timothée Chalamet teams up with Lucid to steal (even more) sales from the embattled Model S and X lines. Today's episode is brought to you by Retrospec, the makers of sleek, powerful e-bikes and outdoor gear built for everyday adventure.
