Tesla wins the charging standard race, Ford has record EV sales, and more

On today’s episode of Quick Charge, explaining EV charging to your in-laws is about to get a whole lot easier thanks to a new universal charging standard and universal plug & charge to streamline payment processing coming in 2025.

We’ve also got an all-electric Mazda Miata, and news that Tesla won’t find a cure for its slow Cybertruck sales overseas as CEO Elon Musk moves to shut down rumors that the company would sell the polarizing pickup truck in the world’s largest car market.
