Halloween kickoff, record EV sales, and healthier oysters

On today’s Halloween-y episode of Quick Charge, we’ve got record EV sales from GM, Hyundai, Kia, and more! We’ve also got big trucks and fat oysters and ALL of it is powered by electric!

That’s right, kids – despite the doom and gloom you see on your racist uncle’s social media feed, electric vehicle sales keep reaching new heights. That’s true of cars, and it’s also true of big electric semi trucks and, apparently, fishing boats off the coast of Main. Check it out for yourself!
