Our Editor's Take

Electric vehicles are becoming more and more mainstream with each passing year. Brands such as General Motors and Ford have now begun making significant developments in this space. EV News Daily is a podcast that gives listeners information on these vehicles in a succinct manner.

The host of EV News Daily is Martyn Lee. He has been a professional broadcaster since 1994. Lee has been a program director for various radio stations in England. He currently serves as the head of podcasts at the Motorsport Network. In addition to being the creator and host of this podcast, he is also a certified hypnotist.

EV News Daily focuses on more than just electric vehicles alone. It also has a broader mandate that focuses on sustainable transportation. This is an exciting area, as it may define the future for decades.

Lee is a likable and knowledgeable host. He is passionate about the subject matter and has had an interest in cars for decades. More importantly, he does a good job of being comprehensive in a short amount of time. Each episode of this podcast is about 20 minutes long. This is very helpful for listeners who may find themselves short on time but curious about the topic.

Because Lee is British, he tends to see these stories through a rather English lens. If an EV story occurs in the United Kingdom, he is more likely to focus on those stories at the beginning of the show. This stands to reason, as the UK has a strong interest in sustainable transportation.

For the most part, new episodes of EV News Daily drop every weekday. Interested listeners should follow this podcast to keep current with it.

Special: Meet The Mercedes-Benz G 580 EV

Special: Meet The Mercedes-Benz G 580 EV
Welcome to a special edition of EV News Daily. More recently the podcast has been getting a little bit longer, with so much exciting EV news, and whenever we get a new car out with lots of information to talk about I feel that it can make the podcast too long. So we'll try something new, and see if you like the idea. Whenever we get a new car released which has enough information to make it basically its own podcast, and as long as I have enough time to watch all of the big Youtube reviews and read all the car mags, I'll write something bespoke and drop that into the feed, and you can choose whether you're interested in listening to it. I don’t want to overload you. But also I don’t want to start making 45 min daily episodes because I appreciate your time. ➤ Quad-motor setup with 579 horsepower and 859 lb-ft of torque ➤ Advanced torque vectoring for unrivaled off-road performance ➤ "G-Turn" feature for 360-degree tank turns ➤ “G-Steering" for enhanced maneuverability and reduced turning radius ➤ Impressive ground clearance, fording depth, and approach/departure angles ➤ 116 kWh battery pack with an estimated 250-mile range (EPA) ➤ DC fast-charging up to 200 kW, allowing 10-80% charge in 32 minutes ➤ Luxurious interior with dual 12.3-inch displays and the latest MBUX infotainment system ➤ "G-Roar" sound system mimicking the characteristic engine note of gas-powered G-Class models ➤ Exclusive "Edition One" launch trim with unique colors, AMG Line, and Night package enhancements
