Hot Laps Presented by Heatshield Products

We kick off this podcast with Ford announcing that they plan on being the 2nd largest EV manufacturer in the next 24 months. With the plans on producing 600,000 EVs per year after that.  Everyone gives there opinions and if they would buy an EV.  Electric Vehicles... what's not to like.  Well according to most of us... A LOT! Chris adds a little fuel to fire and brings up the fact that Ford and Purdue University is trying to develop a 2400 AMP cable that can charge an EV in 5 minutes.  Does that change anyone's mind.  What does Patrick say about 2400 AMPs and the human body? Steve and Shane give us an update on the 1965 F100.  When will it be ready to smoke tires? We close out the podcast with some Tech Questions and Steve talking about the first thing he will do when he moves to a free state. Hint - Gunpowder and a wick.

In this episode, Shane, Patrick and Chris discuss the "NEW" Hybrid Ford Maverick.  Just the name Maverick doesn't really get the blood pumping considering what they looked like back in the day but a smaller version of the Ranger has Ford gone mad? Do they really need another truck platform?  Well apparently they do as they are almost sold out.  Chris goes crazy and calls the push for hybrids a conspiracy theory to keep gas high but who knows.  Next what if you were forced to sell you car because you did a couple of donuts in the town square and ran from the cops.  Think its crazy... not in Germany.  We take you Tech Questions as always.  Come spend a few minutes with us and if it sucks let us know.
