Tesla range exposed, Bolt EV making a comeback, Miata going electric, and more

On the Electrek Podcast, we discuss the most popular news in the world of sustainable transport and energy. In this week’s episode, we discuss Tesla's range getting exposed, Bolt EV making a comeback, Miata going electric, and more.

We are heading back to Munich for the IAA Mobility Show 2023 September 5th – 10th as both Media sponsors and attendees. If you want to see the latest in automobiles and mobility first hand, you should pick up some tickets and join us.

The show is live every Friday at 4 p.m. ET on Electrek’s YouTube channel – except for this week, we are doing it on a Thursday due to a scheduling conflict.
