1 Year After EV Tax Credits: Dead EVs, Tesla’s Dominance, Hybrid Surge & Sales Rebound

One full year after federal EV tax credits vanished, the electric vehicle landscape looks completely different. On this week’s episode of The Plugged-In Podcast, Tim and guest host Suvrat step back to look at the big-picture trends shaping the market: which EVs died off (and which deserved it), how Tesla managed to stay strong, why Toyota is surging, the explosive growth of charging infrastructure, and how EV sales actually seem to be in the early stages of a comeback.

Plus, in our Plus/Minus segment at the end of the show, we discuss a big Android Auto update that brings native EV route planning to Google Maps, plus an exciting update for the VW ID. Buzz.

Plus: Android Auto gets a huge upgrade with native EV route planning in Google Maps.
Minus: Teasing what's next for Volkswagen as reports suggest a potential new iteration or direction for the ID. Buzz.
