Will We Get Affordable EVs For The Masses?

Will We Get Affordable EVs For The Masses?

EVs are getting more popular day by day, but they are still relatively expensive for the huge segment of the population. What can be done to make them more affordable and accessible? Daniel shares his thoughts on the topic, looking at the issue from multiple different perspectives.

But before we get to that, another safety reminder in the form of pickup trucks and why they shouldn’t be driven at high speed. Daniel will share why, and remind listeners of the importance of staying safe on the road.

In our news segment, we talk about new releases in Malaysia - from Mazda and their upcoming SUV, the CX-60, to Maserati and their new all-electric GT and SUV, with BMW and Hyundai showing up in between with their respective new vehicles as well.
