Uncover the green revolution simmering within the automotive industry as we explore the cutting-edge of sustainable manufacturing. Join me, Ken Chester, for a riveting journey through the eco-conscious strides of giants like Audi and Volvo. We're peeling back the layers on water conservation, scrap reduction, and how closed-loop systems, like those in Audi's Q6 e-tron series, aren't just good for the planet—they're boosting automaker profits through product smoothing. But it's not all about the big players; I'll share why the Alfa Romeo Tonale, despite its ambition, might have missed the mark, and what it tells us about leadership and collaboration in car design.
The pre-owned electric vehicle market is buzzing, and it's about time you knew why. Imagine the delight of driving an EV without the hefty price tag, all while reaping the benefits of lower power costs and maintenance fees. I'll guide you through the allure of tax credits and the crucial battery health reports that could make your switch to electric a smooth ride. And when the journey ends, those EV components might just be the treasure at the end of the rainbow, given their scrapping value in the robust market for electric parts.
Lastly, we take a hard look at California's dance with net metering and energy storage. With an eye on Tesla's triumph in Australia, I'll dissect what's holding the Golden State back and how embracing energy storage can transform the grid's reliability. No guests this week, just pure conversation and analysis. So, whether you're a tech enthusiast, environmentally conscious driver, or simply curious about the evolving landscape of mobility, this is the episode where we unpack the complexities that drive the future of automotive technology.
