Welcome to today’s show!
This week, we have a massive roundup from the third quarter as automakers report their EV sales and production, Volvo sticks to its promise to make the EX30 at a low starting price, and an EV that Klingon’s shouldn’t drive.

Whenever possible, Nikki takes her partner's Bolt EV to run errands around town, saving the F150 Lightning (known as Adira Tal) for the things they actually purchased the truck for: hauling camera gear and crew for this channel; traveling long distance with the same; hauling trailers; and carrying wood, feed, and garden supplies for their smallholding in the foothills of the coast range.
But while Adira Tal is very good at those things, Nikki wanted something more efficient to carry out the odd job in and around her local area.
And so, she went shopping.
Meet Transport Evolved's latest project vehicle!

In Vancouver, British Columbia, BC Emergency Health Services has taken that task on head on, developing alternatives to gasoline-powered medical response vehicles like fire trucks and ambulances, especially when a significant number of calls to 911 don't require patient transportation.
And at Fully Charged Live in Vancouver two weeks ago, Kate was able to talk to José Font, Senior Business Analyst, for Logistics and Transportation Operations at BC Emergency Health Services about both the agency's all-electric ambulance car and their fleet of cycle paramedics.

And to prepare them for that task, we should all be working hard to ensure the next generation of engineers, innovators, and environmentalists have the best possible platform to base their careers on.
In the EV world, that means ensuring students have the very best chances to learn - and at UBC in Vancouver, part of that learning journey includes taking part in UBC's Formula Electric team.
We were honored enough to speak to some of the UBC Formula Electric's current team while we were at Fully Charged Live in Canada last weekend - and we were blown away by their skill, knowledge, and hopes for the future. We hope you will be too.

So while we were at Fully Charged LIve in Vancouver, BC, Canada last week, we were sure to chat with Dr. Deborah Curry CCFP, a member of CAPE - or Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment.
In addition to telling us a little more about CAPE, Dr. Curry helped explain why electric cars and cleaner, greener forms of transportation and energy aren't just good for our wallets and air quality - but for us humans too.

Most people think of electric delivery vehicles like the custom delivery vehicle Rivian makes for Amazon, or any other number of all-electric mid-size panel vans around the world. But as we discovered at Fully Charged Live in Vancouver, BC, Canada this weekend, there's an even better way to decarbonize last mile delivery: Cargo Bikes.
We chat to industry expert Sam Starr of Our Greenway Conservancy and Penguin Pickup to discover the benefits of Cargo bicycles and human-electric hybrids.

...and how we can move forward with getting charging in place for everyone.
In this special project from the TE team, we go deep in depth with multiple companies to understand the origins of how charging networks were originally planned, how EV ownership and social factors have played into that planning, how that process has shifted through time, and what impacts recent US legislation will have on future network expansion.

00:00 - Introduction
01:31 - A (very) brief history of EV charging networks
02:58 - If most people charge at home, why does public charging matter?
04:03 - How are charging locations chosen?
10:38 - What makes a good charging location?
16:55 - How does EV ownership factor in to charging location planning?
23:38 - What impacts have network planning had on underserved communities?
23:15 - What's changing to get charging into historically underserved communities?
39:29 - How are community stakeholders involved in charger placement?
46:45 - What can we do going forward?
47:30 - Thanks, and Goodbye!

At the same time we're also seeing the apparent unspooling of the way we work. Employers are struggling to balance demands to reduce company's carbon footprints, unsure how to deal with employee's desires to work from home, and loosing employees who are no longer willing to deal with no work-life balance.
Perhaps, just perhaps, this is (at least some of) the answer.

As we've mentioned many times on this channel, solar panels are the perfect partner to an electric car - but how do you make sure that the your solar panels are providing the energy you need to power your electric car, regardless of the time of day you're charging up?
We have some tips and tricks on maximizing the solar power that your EV uses - and how to slow down charging or stop it when your panels aren't producing enough.

After chatting with the company about the incident, we remain hopeful the overheating motor was a one-off caused by a gamble that went wrong, and perhaps not enough engineering preparation time before the shoot.
But the news story and the subsequent coverage tells us a whole lot more about the state of being a startup in the EV world today - and just how difficult it can be to walk the line between too little press access… and the wrong types of PR.
