AAH #751 – Boosting PHEV Range to 70 Miles… With Software

July 17, 2025 by sean

Listen to “AAH #751 – Boosting PHEV Range to 70 Miles… With Software” on Spreaker.

LIVE Thursdays at 3 PM ET!

Magna’s Etelligent Command uses software smarts to make PHEV powertrains a lot more efficient.

TOPIC:
– Why did Uber invest $300 million in Lucid.
– Does GM’s announced production of the Escalade and additional Silverado’s and Sierra’s say anything about what’s really going on in the market?
– Tesla just lost another exec, the vp of Sales, Service and Delivery for North America. 6th big employee loss this year. How are things working out for Elon?
– Slate adjusted its price on its site to mid-$20Ks after passage of the budget bill that eliminates the tax break. How can Slate make money on cheap trucks?
– And speaking of the budget bill, given that it ends penalties for not meeting CAFE, are we likely to see more ICE vehicles since they’re the things OEMs make money on?

PANEL:
William Lawrie, Magna
Brett Smith, Auto Industry Expert
Gary Vasilash, shinymetalboxes.net
John McElroy, Autoline.tv
