Hosts Peter Ciani and Rich Taber take the EV Power Podcast on a journey into the future General Motors is building for itself centered around an all-electric motoring platform called Ultium Drive. In their opening initiative, the storied automaker is re-launching the Hummer SUV as an electric vehicle that’s the polar opposite of its first incarnation.
All this talk of electric propulsion could leave one standing at the pump wondering how much they would actually save if they were recharging a battery drive instead. For that there’s the eQ Factor developed by RPM New Weekly co-founder Rich Taber.
