In this episode of Kilowatt, Bodie wraps up the year with a wide-ranging look at the latest EV news just ahead of Christmas. He breaks down a notable 34% drop in Tesla registrations in the European Union, while pointing out that overall battery-electric vehicle registrations were still up 44%, signaling a shift in the market rather than a collapse. The show also explores BYD’s new peer-to-peer home charging feature, which lets owners share and monetize their chargers through the BYD app. Bodie then covers the Cybertruck earning an IIHS Top Safety Plus rating, pushing back against early skepticism. He explains why Volkswagen’s ID. Buzz isn’t coming to the U.S. in 2026, and why that doesn’t mean it’s canceled. The episode rounds out with a Ford recall affecting over 270,000 vehicles, a look at Elon Musk’s evolving pay package, and a holiday message inviting listeners to share their EV stories as the show heads into 2026.
