Has Jaguar Gone Too Far? + Driving Kia’s Awesome Cheap EV

Is Jaguar’s radical rebrand genius? Or madness? On this week’s episode of The Plugged-In Podcast, we react to the reveal of Jaguar’s controversial Type 01 grand tourer. The design is impossible to ignore, but can this car and all-electric pivot save Jaguar?

Plus, is Kia about to dominate the affordable EV segment? Tim reports back from his first drive in the brand-new Kia EV3. With its impressive range, aggressive pricing, and appealing design, is it better than the Chevy Bolt and Nissan Leaf? Tim thinks so.

Plus, we tackle a listener question: Will the surge of electric cars actually crash or overwhelm the U.S. electrical grid?
