What if the future of affordable electric vehicles lies in Jeep's hands? Join us on the Tech Mobility Show with Ken Chester as we uncover Jeep's ambitious plans to launch a sub-$25,000 Renegade EV by 2027. As we explore this bold move, we also ponder the potential impact on Jeep's reputation and loyal customer base. Take a journey through the evolving landscape of vehicle categories, with a special focus on the all-new Toyota Crown Hybrid, and reminisce about Toyota's unique but flawed past endeavors like the 1984 van and the Previa.

Discover the harsh realities confronting truck drivers, from owner-operators in West Texas oil fields to Mexican B-1 visa drivers. Their unity in the face of low pay, poor working conditions, and minimal protections underscores a critical issue with far-reaching implications for the supply chain. We'll bring their struggles to light, discussing the economic and physical toll on their lives as they continue to deliver crucial goods across the country.

Shifting gears, we tackle the urgent need for utility companies to bolster the power grid against extreme weather events. As climate change brings more frequent and severe weather, the resilience of our power supplies is being tested like never before. Delve into the innovative collaborations between utility companies and academic institutions aimed at forecasting impacts and developing strategies to prevent power failures. This episode promises a comprehensive look at the intersection of mobility, technology, and the challenges shaping our future.
