CleanTech Talk — EVs, Solar, Batteries, AI, Tesla

In the second portion of our latest Cleantech Talk podcast with RK Equity's Rodney Hooper and Howard Klein, we ventured outside of mining more than we typically do to talk about energy density and vehicle-to-grid solutions, but we also circled back around for a strong focus on the gap between electric vehicle sales forecasts from automakers and actual battery-grade lithium production.

Last week, I sat down with Rodney Hooper and Howard Klein for another chat about nickel and lithium mining, electric vehicle batteries, Tesla, the electric vehicle transition, and a few other matters. Listen to the conversation here.

Howard Klein and Rodney Hooper of RK Equity help us to learn more about different types of lithium mining, Standard Lithium, and other potentially up and coming approaches to lithium extraction.

In this episode of our CleanTech Talk podcast interview series, Zach Shahan chats again with Alf Poor, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ideanomics, Inc., about the electrification of the mining industry, and the benefits of choosing electric for heavy duty vehicles.

Electric vehicles need batteries, and it takes one or two years to get a battery production plant up and running. However, something that is often forgotten is that you don't make batteries out of thin air.

Following some of Tesla CEO Elon Musk's comments regarding battery production during the quarterly Tesla conference call for shareholders last week, I decided to have two long conversations with Howard Klein and Rodney Hooper of RK Equity about the EV battery production and mining industries.

We're here with another episode of Tesla Inside Out, a series on our CleanTech Talk podcast channel. This one is a special "Energy Independence Weekend" episode focused on a mix of the big EV news this year (more potent this week than ever) and David Havasi's history in the industry (in Tesla from 2012–2019 and outside of it since then).
