In this lively ASOTU CON 2025 session, Alex Lawrence of EV Auto returns to the podcast stage with host Elena Ciccotelli to discuss the evolution of his brand, the EV landscape, and how content creation, customer trust, and service infrastructure all play critical roles in EV adoption. Known for his engaging documentary-style social media presence, Alex shares the journey from low-engagement educational videos to viral behind-the-scenes content that built EV Auto into a trusted name. He offers candid insights into the EV resale market, highlighting how political climate, geographic region, and customer familiarity dramatically impact used EV pricing—especially for Tesla.
The conversation expands into how EV Auto has developed a full-service model to support long-term customer confidence. With a fixed ops division, mobile servicing across three states, and warranty-backed battery diagnostics, Alex positions his brand as a holistic EV experience provider, not just a retailer. They also touch on consumer hesitations, the expiration of the used EV tax credit, and which models are best for daily driving—including Alex’s personal favorite, the Hummer EV with the roof off. This episode is packed with real-world strategy, authenticity, and a glimpse into what the future of EV retailing looks like.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
