Welcome to the EV Fast Five where I share with you EV content worth paying attention to. There’s a ton of EV content out there - around 500M daily tweets and, 720K hours of video uploaded daily to YouTube.

Out of all this content there’s only a few key pieces that are worth paying attention to, and there are 5 of them below 👇️

Lucid Gravity is making it’s way into Canadian’s hands - For those that can afford it.
Coming in with a $113,500 CAD starting price for the Touring trim, ballooning to starting at $134,500 CAD for the Grand Touring version.

Currently on the Lucid Canada website, I can only design the Grand Touring version which is also known as “GT”. The GT version provides 828 hp and a projected range of 720 km - which is absolutely insane.

The Lucid Gravity does come with the NACS connector, which is great to be able to take advantage of the various chargers out there across Canada. However, I am not able to find concrete evidence that the Luci Gravity is going to come with a heat pump, which would be critical for our winter conditions here in Canada.

The new Model Y!
With Tesla making headlines around the world (some good some bad), there is no denying the technology and achievements that being the Model Y nearly into it’s own class. A lot of information is shared in the video above and Jay Leno’s first drive along with Lars Moravy, VP of Vehicle Engineering and Franz von Holzhausen, Head of Design.
Check it out below, I’m sure you’ll learn a thing or two - especially if you keep the latest drama surrounding the CEO out of your mind.

This Pininfarina is an all-electric hypercar which seems to be a Rimac Nevera underneath.

Fastrrr takes some fans on a tour ride around in this amazing hypercar. Interesting walk around and information shared on the car.

Big moves coming out of Toronto related to Tesla. This is tough for me! I think the Tesla product itself is top-notch but definitely don’t agree anything Elon Musk has done on a political or personal level. It’s also tough because I believe in EVs and the role they play not only in reducing the impact on the environment and climate change but their performance benefits as well. The more people in EVs the better - in my opinion.

I wish Elon wasn’t so obsessed with sharing his controversial personal opinions and just kept his mouth shut. Then it wouldn’t be such a relation of supporting Elon if you support Tesla etc. For example, I can’t think of many purchases where I knew the CEO’s beliefs, political opinions or personal details and that’s because they don’t flaunt it or share every intruding thought on social media. For example, I don’t know the CEO of Sony, Mitsubishi heat pumps, or Leon’s Furniture - where I made purchases in the past year, or their opinions, so it doesn’t affect my purchasing decisions. I don’t own a Tesla. If it weren’t for Elon, would I? Yes.
