281: Don’t Make it Obvious
If you’re going to cheat, don’t make it obvious. For example, the Rivian R2 EPA efficiency numbers may not be the entire story, so we talk about it on this week’s podcast. We also talk about Mitsubishi’s latest EV, which is simply a Nissan Leaf undercover. In both cases, the manufacturers are doing what they need to do to survive. So is it cheating? And does it matter? Also, BYD enters the kei car world, Mercedes may get banned from the US, and more.
