Genesis Just Unveiled Its CRAZIEST EV Yet… Meet the GV90! | The Friday Charge EP99

Genesis has finally pulled the wraps off its all-new GV90, but that's just the beginning of this week's EV news.

The GV90 is a massive electric luxury SUV packed with features that sound like they came straight from a concept car—including coach doors, no B-pillar, 657 horsepower, rear-wheel steering, air suspension, rotating front seats, heated wood floors, and even a built-in refrigerator. But with a huge 123 kWh battery producing just 310 miles of range, is Genesis leaving efficiency on the table?

And that's not all we're covering.

🤖 Waymo's Ojai robotaxi is now open to the public in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix. We'll talk about what this new Chinese-built EV means for the U.S. robotaxi market.

🚕 Tesla gets approval for robotaxis in Las Vegas, but there's a catch. Tesla wanted up to 5,000 vehicles across Clark County, including airport service. Instead, regulators approved just 10 vehicles, with strict geofencing, a 45-mph speed limit, and no airport service.

We'll break down the latest developments in the robotaxi race, compare Tesla's approval with competitors like Waymo and Zoox, and look at what these restrictions could mean for Tesla's autonomous driving ambitions.

Which story are you most interested in—the Genesis GV90, Waymo's Ojai, or Tesla's Vegas robotaxis? Let us know in the comments!
