It seems like we can’t go a day without a news outlet claiming the next EV battery will have magical technology with unbelievable range and almost instant charging.  I see it all the time and it’s hard to filter out the realistic innovations from all the noise. So I set out over the weekend to update myself on the current state of emerging battery technologies and it ended up as a nice little podcast script, which can be today’s bonus show. The global electric vehicle battery landscape in 2025 is currently dominated by lithium-ion technology, which has achieved unprecedented scale, cost reductions, and manufacturing concentration that will define the industry for the short to medium term future. As the foundation for modern electric cars, these batteries have reached a critical inflection point where mass-market adoption accelerates while new technologies beckon.

Welcome back to our two-part series called Dieselgate10 – From Lies To Lithium. If you missed part 1 yesterday, we tracked what happened with defeat devices, why the world in 2015 thought diesel was the answer to tightening emissions regulations, and how Volkswagen’s redemption resolution was to pivot to electric cars.

Welcome back to the podcast, welcome to a bonus show, the first of a two-part documentary investigation into the effect ‘dieselgate’ had on the EV industry. On September 18, 2015, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Notice of Violation to the Volkswagen Group, a document that would detonate a crisis of unprecedented scale in the global automotive industry. The allegation was simple yet devastating: the German automotive giant had deliberately programmed its "Clean Diesel" vehicles with sophisticated software to cheat on emissions tests. This was not a technical miscalculation or a minor compliance issue; it was a conscious, years-long deception. The event, which quickly became known as 'Dieselgate', publicly shattered a multi-billion-dollar corporate strategy built on the promise of environmentally friendly diesel technology.

China's electric vehicle price war represents the calculated culmination of a decade-long state industrial policy that has now reached its inevitable—and perhaps intended—climax. Since 2009, Beijing has channeled over $230 billion into EV incentives, subsidies, and industrial support, creating what appears to be overcapacity but was actually a deliberate strategy to forge global champions through domestic combat. The result is a market hosting over 130 brands competing in what Volkswagen's China chief describes as a sector that has "lost all reason". Today we’ll discuss: Chronic Overcapacity and Unsustainable Competition Deep Financial Stress Across the Industry Global Repercussions and Political Backlash A reminder our bonus shows are exclusively for our Patreon supporters.
