And we are live for a new episode of the Electrek | Electrek, I am Fred Lambert your host and as usual I'm joined by Seth Wintram, how you doing Seth? I'm good. All right, I hope you are because you were one of the lucky ones to get a chance to be the first one to drive the Rivian R2 this week which is going to be our lead story for the podcast. We're going to talk to Seth about his experience with what could be, what is most likely the most anticipated new EV.

in the US at least this year. Then we're going to talk about BYD going crazy with charging. There's a chance they're going to out Tesla when it comes to supercharger so that's actually one of the most beneficial things for the EV revolution coming up.

Then we're going to talk about the impact of China's rapid electrification on debt, on actual air pollution related debt which is very encouraging. We're going to talk about the IX3 from BMW which is picking up momentum. Waymo was transitioning into like a full blown ride share company now, not just like just autonomy demo but we'll talk about that a little bit more.

And then we're going to end the show so stay tuned for that with Donut Lab. We're going to talk most likely than not probably the final report on Donut Lab even though when I posted this article earlier this week I got a lot of angry investors that reach out to me and everything. But yeah, it doesn't look good. Let's just put it like that. But first let's go back to Seth with the R2. So talk to us a little bit about the event.
