Is Rivian about to deliver a reset on how e-mobility works? Tim tested one, and he loved it.Also on this episode: Patrick talks to Matias Giannini, the CEO of Horse Powertrain. It's a new engine joint venture from Renault and the Geely Group. Why is our podcast covering engines? Because these engines are designed to be better: cleaner, smaller, more efficient, and purpose-built for things like plug-in hybrids and extended-range EVs. They're pro-EV but believe that if gas engines have to stick around longer, they have to better—and they have some interesting stuff up their sleeves.
