It's EV News briefly for Thursday, September 25th, everything EV in less than five minutes.

We'll get you up to speed if you haven't got time for the full podcast. Here we go. Tesla's co-founder,

Mark Tarpening is involved in the next funding round of Telo trucks. They're making a little teeny

outside of, or at least in the West, which is very important.

August data in Europe was very good. J-Torodynamics showing that across the 28 European markets,
