<h2>Kilowatt 666 — Show Notes</h2><p>In this episode of&nbsp;<strong>Kilowatt</strong>, Bodie wraps up the year with a wide-ranging look at the latest EV news just ahead of Christmas. He breaks down a notable&nbsp;<strong>34% drop in Tesla registrations in the European Union</strong>, while pointing out that overall battery-electric vehicle registrations were still up&nbsp;<strong>44%</strong>, signaling a shift in the market rather than a collapse. The show also explores&nbsp;<strong>BYD’s new peer-to-peer home charging feature</strong>, which lets owners share and monetize their chargers through the BYD app. Bodie then covers the&nbsp;<strong>Cybertruck earning an IIHS Top Safety Plus rating</strong>, pushing back against early skepticism. He explains why&nbsp;<strong>Volkswagen’s ID. Buzz isn’t coming to the U.S. in 2026</strong>, and why that doesn’t mean it’s canceled. The episode rounds out with a&nbsp;<strong>Ford recall affecting over 270,000 vehicles</strong>, a look at Elon Musk’s evolving pay package, and a holiday message inviting listeners to share their EV stories as the show heads into 2026.</p><p></p><h2>Support the Show</h2><p><a href="https://www.supportkilowatt.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.supportkilowatt.com/</a></p><h2></h2><h2>Other Podcasts</h2><ul><li>Beyond the Post YouTube</li><li>Beyond the Post Podcast</li><li>Shuffle Playlist</li><li>918Digital Website</li></ul><h2></h2><h2>News Links</h2><ul><li><strong>Tesla Registrations Dropped 34.2% in November in European Union</strong></li><li><a href="https://cleantechnica.com/2025/12/23/tesla-registrations-dropped-34-2-in-november-in-european-union/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://cleantechnica.com/2025/12/23/tesla-registrations-dropped-34-2-in-november-in-european-union/</a></li><li><strong>BYD Now Lets Owners Share Home Chargers Through Their App</strong></li><li><a href="https://electrek.co/2025/12/21/byd-now-lets-owners-share-home-chargers-through-their-app/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://electrek.co/2025/12/21/byd-now-lets-owners-share-home-chargers-through-their-app/</a></li><li><strong>Tesla Cybertruck Earns Top Safety Rating—After Everyone Said It Couldn't</strong></li><li><a href="https://www.autoblog.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-earns-top-safety-rating-after-everyone-said-it-couldnt" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.autoblog.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-earns-top-safety-rating-after-everyone-said-it-couldnt</a></li><li><strong>Tesla Cybertruck Is Top Rated Pickup Truck in Safety Crash Tests</strong></li><li><a href="https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/3434/tesla-cybertruck-is-top-rated-pickup-truck-in-safety-crash-tests-ratings" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/3434/tesla-cybertruck-is-top-rated-pickup-truck-in-safety-crash-tests-ratings</a></li><li><strong>Volkswagen Shelves Its Electric Minibus for the U.S., but Not Forever</strong></li><li><a href="https://electrek.co/2025/12/19/volkswagen-shelves-electric-minibus-for-us-not-forever/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://electrek.co/2025/12/19/volkswagen-shelves-electric-minibus-for-us-not-forever/</a></li><li><strong>Ford Recalls Over 270,000 Vehicles That Could Roll Away After Parking</strong></li><li><a href="https://www.autoblog.com/news/recall-ford-rollaway-f150-lightning-maverick-mustang-mach-e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.autoblog.com/news/recall-ford-rollaway-f150-lightning-maverick-mustang-mach-e</a></li></ul><p></p><h2>Show Art</h2><p><em>Show art created by DALL·E</em></p><p>*ART PROVIDED BY DALL-e</p><p>Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/kilowatt">http://supporter.acast.com/kilowatt</a>.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
