EV News Daily - Technology and Business of EVs - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This podcast is excellent at covering the latest EV news topics but the pro-EV bias hurts the quality. A recent example is the coverage on the Florida legislation concerning EVs on the highway during emergencies, and the concern with them running out of power then blocking traffic. This podcast presented it as being no worse than the problem of an ICE car running out of gas, but that’s not true at all, since emergency services and roadside services such as AAA have five gallon gas cans ready to top people off. That capability is not widely available for EVs at this point.

Long time listener, love the coverage, love the content. But dig a little deeper into what we as UAW workers lost in 2008/2009 to keep these companies afloat and what we have gotten back. And how mush the CEO wages have increased when the corporations weren’t ‘profitable’.

Love listening to Martyn’s commentary and summary of all the latest news in the world of EV’s. Enjoy his perspective and passion for the industry. Keep up the good work!

I’ve been a listener for years. This is the best way to efficiently stay up to speed on electric vehicle (EV) news. Great job, keep it up, Martyn!

A once great show that has been plagued with issues lately. The worst are the ads. On a consistent basis, shows are more than 50% ads (by runtime). The show will start with ad after ad, often repeated ads, often offensive ads. I have heard racist ads, misinformation ads from the gas & oil industry, and other objectionable religious and political content. He will often have ad breaks that interrupt mid-sentence. Then the show finishes with 2-3 minutes of more ads. But they have no consistency so you can’t set your podcatcher to skip them. I listen to about 200+ episodes of podcasts a week, and this is the only one that has these issues. Why is everyone else able to figure this out but him? I listen to a fair amount of podcasts from the UK, so that isn’t an excuse.

Another issue is he often disappears for long stretches, he’s comes back and says things like, “sorry I was away, but I was spending lots of time ending another podcast”. Why would you spend excessive time on something that’s ending at the expense of your main show?

This show used to be one of my faves, but I’m about to unsubscribe. I really hope he gets sorted. He seems like a great bloke who has a good heart, but struggles to manage his priorities.

This was a great source for quick updates on what’s happening across the EV industry. It looks like it has gone away with no episodes since the end of October, and no update at all from the host. Website seems to be gone as well if you click the link below.
