Hello, folks, and happy weekend this week on DETNS's weekend edition. We're featuring an episode

of the Kilo-Watt podcast from Bode Grimm. He's talking to Jeremy Mahalik, engineering and

Jeremy, but it turns out he's a heck of a nice guy and super easy to talk to. Our conversation

today is going to cover a wide variety of topics as it comes to EVs. I'm talking, you know,
