    Mad and disappointed
    This week on this podcast all I heard is China is allowed to make there own rules and policy’s that are good for China. When the USA makes their own rules and policy’s that benefit the country of the United States of America it’s not ok and the President enjoys making people hurt. All you podcasters know best don’t you? You are wrong constantly and if the democrats won it would have caused this country to enter in financial ruin. It was there plan they made policy to destroy the American dollar to convert us to a digital currency. Thank God for President Trump! Thank God for America First Policy!!

    Pro Chinese EV podcast
    Chinese EV makers do nothing wrong, and are not he best EVs to buy.
  • Rodanski
    Would be 5 stars without Dom.
    I would like to express my concerns regarding the current hosting arrangement. Specifically, I find Dom's hosting style to be inconsistent and lacking in smooth transitions. The volume levels are often either too quiet or too loud compared to others, which disrupts the overall experience. Additionally, Dom's delivery sometimes lacks a definitive opinion, making it difficult to follow the discussion. I believe that Martin would be a more suitable host, as his style is more consistent and engaging.
  • Can’t find a name either
    Politics ruins everything
    Please, please, please stay away from politics. I encounter so many potential EV converts that are put off by the entanglement of technology and politics.

    Great podcast!
    Have been listening to this podcast for over two years now (started when it was still the InsideEVs podcast). Very informative and entertaining. Always look forward to listening to the weekly installments on the drive to and from work (in an EV, of course). The podcast format saves me from having to research the latest news from the EV space myself in my (limited) free time. The interaction between the moderators makes it particularly entertaining and memorable.
  • GatorGary
    Excellent podcast
    I listen to a lot of podcasts in this space and theirs is one of the best. Highly recommended. I do like Battery Bargains the best. There are occasional sound level issues but there’re usually not too bad.
  • ConradoBR
    Ok podcast
    The British guy is so annoying. Going off on tangents about his personal life. Nobody cares…
  • Jrs661978

    The OG EV podcast
    I love these guys and love this podcast!
  • Bytre350
    The original InsideEVs podcast
    These guys are the original hosts of InsideEVs. They left and started their own independent podcast here so hopefully you left InsideEVs (now awful) and moved here.
  • Dunkindonuts45
    EV Nerds Rejoice!
    Batteries Included is the podcast to follow if you want all of the nerdy details about the happenings in the EV industry without the marketing fluff. The four hosts are well-researched and leave no stone unturned when discussing cars, chargers, and the companies that build them.
