What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I truly enjoyFred’s insights into the EV industry and electrification. These podcasts come from people with extensive knowledge of the topics discussed. I like how they are brand agnostic. Quite a bit of talk about Tesla because they are so big in the North American market. Good about holding all companies accountable.

I am a longtime EV enthusiast, and a few years ago was subscribing to three different EV podcasts. Although the Elektrek podcast was glitchy and inconsistent at that time, I decided to stick with it, and unfollow the other two. I am glad I did. Fred and Seth have really stepped it up over the last year or two, and I don’t feel that I need to listen to anything else on the EV front. Elektrek coverage is pretty complete. The hosts come across as honest, engaging, and very knowledgeable on all things EV. One thing I especially like about Fred and Seth is that they are so unpretentious, and make you feel like you could easily sit down with them over a coffee or beer, and talk for hours about anything going on the EV world. Although their show wasn’t worthy of a five-star review a few years ago, it certainly is now. They’ve earned it, and they keep getting better.

Excellent coverage of all types and makes of EVs! Great source for vehicle reviews when shopping for a new vehicle.

EdtheChef · Apr 2025

Very fair and unbiased reviews and discussions of all EVs. These guys are early adopters of Tesla vehicles and still own Tesla vehicles and would love to see Tesla succeed in helping to move the EV industry forward. Entertaining, honest, and inciteful

Great website, dreadful podcast. I’ve listened to a number of podcasts talking about EVs. This one is unlistenable. Boring, droning, pompous host. The website is one of the better EV news sites around.

Jeff SD · Nov 2025

This used to be an interesting podcast but has become increasingly difficult to listen to. Fred has become increasingly negative most of the time and really fancies himself an expert on all things EV. Combine this with his constant butchering of the English language and it’s laughable at times. Then add in Seth who rarely has anything intelligent to add and I wonder why he’s even on the podcast. He often makes incorrect statements and adds zero value to the show. A rethink to your combined approach is long overdue.
