EP66: The EV Cover Up What Really Happened to the Car They Did Not Want You to Have
AutoKnerd Podcast
The EV1 was not just early, it was dangerous.
Not to drivers, but to an entire industry built on fuel revenue, service schedules, and old school thinking.
In this episode, we dig into one of the most infamous automotive conspiracies of all time.
Why did GM create one of the best electric cars ever made, then recall and crush almost every single one
We unpack the story behind:
• Big Oil pressure
• Battery patent wars
• Internal GM politics
• Lobbying behind closed doors
• EV fear and mistrust
• The scar customers still carry today
Most importantly, we connect this history to the conversations happening in dealerships right now.
Why customers hesitate.
Why EV myths spread so fast.
Why trust matters more than torque or technology.
If you sell cars, service cars, or lead a team in the dealership world, this episode gives you a fast, clear, human explanation of why EV conversations feel so emotional and how to handle them with confidence and empathy.
This week’s AutoShop tool is The EV Trust Decoder, your shortcut to turning EV fear into clarity your customers can feel.
