Description:

In this episode of Kilowatt, Tesla makes major moves in Austin as their Robotaxi fleet begins driving solo without safety drivers. But is the tech really ready? Ford officially axes the all-electric F-150 Lightning, pivoting instead to an extended-range hybrid version—and takes a $19.5 billion hit in the process. We also look at Ford’s controversial EV battery repair costs and a new extended battery and drive unit warranty from Tesla. Plus, Scout Motors takes a significant step toward selling its EVs directly in Colorado. Get the latest insights and analysis from the EV world in this week's roundup.
