Is the long-delayed Tesla Roadster finally happening? On this episode of The Plugged-In Podcast, Mack and Tim react to Tesla’s surprise announcement setting an official October 1 unveil date—almost a decade after the concept first debuted. We break down what to expect and whether it’s for real this time. 

Plus, we’re joined by Tiya Gordon, cofounder of the Brooklyn-based charging company It’s Electric, to talk about their major new contract with New York City to install hundreds of curbside EV chargers—and how street-level charging is solving the apartment-dweller dilemma.

Also on this week's show:

  • Mercedes-Benz GLC First Drive: Mack takes the wheel of the all-new electric GLC and gives his hands-on verdict.
  • VW Mission Efficiency Concept: Volkswagen’s EV prototype reminds us of the hyper-efficient VW XL1. 
  • Volvo’s Next-Gen PHEVs: A look at Volvo’s latest long-range plug-in hybrids.
