Optimus gets to work, a new BYD, EV forecasts, and go karts | Quick Charge

Quick Charge

Tesla tweeted news that it has two autonomous Optimus robots working at its factory, BYD announces a new, RWD hot hatch, EV sales are building towards future growth, and there's a new, internationally recognized electric karting championship coming to the US. All this and more on today's exciting episode of Quick Charge.

And the best part? I've got a new filter on the intro that adds even more film grain – that Max Headroom aesthetic is really coming along!
