0:00.0	Welcome back to the podcast. Today, Google Maps adds Tesla superchargers. The new Bolt enters production and some cheap BYDs for Australia. Plus stay tuned. Later in the show, I'll tell you why the nicest place to charge might just be a Porsche lounge. Let's get into it. Charging operators are now sharing more data with third-party apps and automakers as time goes on. And now Google Maps will show real-time Tesla supercharger
0:23.0	availability. Maps already listed supercharger locations. The Apple now report how many
0:28.5	installs a site has and how many are occupied. And I wonder if they'll also know which ones are
0:33.6	out of order because I was watching Kyle from Out of Speck actually have a look at the
0:38.2	Tesla diner and he says, oh, let's check Google Maps because in his latest YouTube video,
0:43.5	Google Maps should be showing Tesla superchargers and it showed two less or two fewer than
0:49.9	there actually were there. So maybe a couple were out of order, or maybe just they weren't bringing in
0:54.6	all of them. I think we're sort of 78 superchargers on that location, not 80, which is still
1:00.9	incredible. Either way, it follows Google's EV routing work, which also incorporates live
1:06.1	plug availability. I have experience of that because my Pulse Star runs Google natively, and honestly,
1:11.9	it works really, really well. The change won't matter much for Tesla drivers. Their in car
1:16.3	navigation already did show, of course, Tesla supercharger occupancy, but it makes a big difference
1:21.1	for those accessing Tesla superchargers in a non-Tesla EV and Android users who prefer Google Maps over Android maps as well.
1:29.9	Increasing data sharing is making life much easier for you and I and EV drivers.
1:35.1	Now, General Motors kicked off production of the Chevrolet Bolt.
1:39.5	I think we're calling it the second generation Chevy Bolt at the Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas. They did this
1:45.7	four days ago, reported by GM Authority and confirmed by a Chevrolet spokesperson. First
1:51.5	vehicles will reach dealers sometime in January next year. It will be sold in the US as a 2027 model year.
1:59.9	GM disclosed core specs at a customer event back in October.
2:03.4	EPA will be 255 miles, 410 kilometers.
2:08.5	Rapid charging 150 kilowatts.
2:10.7	Newbolt shares components with the Equinox.
