Real quick, speaking of US EV companies, have you head about Aptera? They are the most unique E V company I've ever seen, and they are hoping to start production within a year. I've covered them before, but if you want to support the channel, and if you're interested in this unique three-wheeled EV that can get over 1000 miles of range, head to:

You get $30 off your one hundred dollar reservation fee, and I get a chance to win a free Aptera. Now, back to the news.
