InsideEVs Plugged-In Podcast

How long do electric vehicle batteries really last in the real world? This week on The Plugged-In Podcast, Mack and Tim break down a massive new study analyzing over 500,000 EV battery health tests—and the data reveals a clear picture of long-term degradation, plus how specific EVs like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Tesla Model Y hold up after around 100,000 miles. 
Plus, we dive into:

Many EV startups have failed. But Telo thinks it can succeed.
On this episode of the Plugged-In Podcast, Mack sits down with Jason Marks and Forrest North, the co-founders of Telo Trucks. Their first product, the MT1, is set to arrive later this year, albeit in small numbers.
The micro-truck promises the bed length of a Toyota Tacoma in an overall footprint that’s only as long as a two-door Mini Cooper. Despite that, Telo says the MT1 will offer up to 350 miles of range, around 500 horsepower, and 400 kW charging.
Is this company the real deal? You’ll have to watch to find out.
