In its weekly podcast roundup, Electrek highlighted several major developments in sustainable transport and energy. The Tesla Semi has finally entered volume production, arriving seven years behind its original schedule. This marks a long-awaited milestone for the electric truck program.
Another notable item was Geely's AI-assisted fast-charging technology, which the company says can 'heal' EV batteries and deliver 20% more cycle life. Meanwhile, Rivian announced that its upcoming R3 will be 'materially' cheaper than the R2, with an R4 planned to go even lower.
The episode also touched on other stories, including Bentley's first EV, the Torcal, and Volkswagen's delayed electric minibus for the US. These updates reflect a busy week across the electric vehicle and clean energy space.
