Elon Musk implies that he'll quit his part-time job as CEO of Tesla (TSLA) if he doesn't get his $1 trillion pay package. On today's episode of Quick Charge, I suggest GM's Mary Barra should replace him, and explore some of the compelling EV deals out there looking to take a bite out of Elon's market share.
In addition to my take on what the TSLA board should or shouldn't decide, we've got a pile of EV lease deals, some hot, upcoming new electric Jeep models, and a look at some of the ways the end of the Federal EV tax credit isn't the end at all.
Quick Charge is brought to you by Climate XChange, a nonpartisan nonprofit working to help states pass effective, equitable climate policies. The nonprofit just kicked off its 10th annual EV raffle, where participants have multiple opportunities to win their dream model. Visit CarbonRaffle.org/Electrek to learn more.
