On today’s thrilling episode of Quick Charge, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 gets a rally-ready update plus a native NACS connector, Tesla’s smart summon arrives just two years late, and Volvo’s latest “breakthrough” electric semi truck goes more than 600 km between charges.
We’ve also got word that Chinese car brand BYD is delaying a North American plant announcement until after the US elections this November, Blue Bird announces its 2,000th electric school bus, and we hear a word from our friends at Volvo CE.
