A $25,000-style electric pickup sounds impossible until you strip the vehicle down to what most people actually need. We dig into Slate Auto’s “blank slate” utility EV concept: no paint, phone-based infotainment, fewer factory options, and a platform that can switch between a small EV pickup and a small EV SUV. The promise is affordability through ruthless simplicity, but we also confront the hard questions: how many units must they sell to survive, what happens if quality slips, and can a lean build strategy really scale in the modern auto industry?
Then the conversation takes a sharp turn toward the heaviest kind of long-term thinking: nuclear waste. Finland’s Onkalo deep geological repository is designed to store spent nuclear fuel for up to 100,000 years in ancient bedrock, using copper canisters and bentonite clay. We discuss why deep underground storage differs from “temporary” sites and why the engineering challenge is not just containment but communication across time. How do you warn people who may not share our language, symbols, or even our idea of danger?
We also highlight two mobility and clean energy signals that feel closer to everyday life. Lightship is scaling up its U.S.-based electric RV production, betting that tow assist, aerodynamic modes, onboard solar, and battery-backed home power can redefine what an RV trailer can do. Finally, we explore plug-in solar panels for renters and urban households, along with the practical concerns that determine whether DIY solar is truly safe and legal: power flow, liability, lease terms, and utility rules.

Slate Auto’s Bare-Bones Utility EV
SPEAKER_03And on that note, I got a headline here and I want to discuss it. Slate Auto says $650 million boost will get it to the next stages of production. In case you may not recognize the name Slate Auto, we've mentioned Slate Auto here, but for those of you who may be new to the program, and some of you that may have forgotten, let me refresh your memory. Slate Auto is a company bankrolled in part by Jeff Bezos, and it's designed to bring a utility EV to market that's affordable. Originally, when the federal tax credits were around, they were expecting to build this for less than $25,000. And in some cases, depending on the state, maybe even coming in at less than $20,000. The whole point of this, and hence the name slate, is you are literally starting with a clean slate. It's not painted. You're going to use some sort of wrap. It does not come with an infotainment system. You'll use your phone, hand crank windows. Basically, it is a bank slate for you to customize appropriately and however you want. Could it roll just the way it is from the factory? Absolutely. But they believe, and I agree with them, that there is a market for below $30,000 and in some cases below $25,000, useful new vehicles that people can use. And the beautiful part about the Slate platform is it can either be a small EV pickup or small EV SUV. Either way, for the price. And they're trying to build something inexpensive. Let's talk about that for a minute. $1.4 billion in order to get this puppy up and running to get products out the door. How many units do you think they have to sell a year in order to cover their overhead, their variable costs, and their development cost? And in doing that, how can they keep the price low? Part of that is streamlining. They build this thing one way. This is not the place you come if you're looking for options. That's the customization part. But from the factory, they're all coming out looking the same way. They're really the only thing you can really choose between is whether you want a pickup or whether you want to turn it into a small SUV. That's really the big choice. And then from there, you would customize it in order to get it the way you want. Your phone would be your entertainment center. Other things that they would make available. And obviously, where the money is for them is the customization. But the beautiful part is it lets them run volume about as straight as possible with very little variation, yet gives people the choice to take this plain Jane vehicle and dress it up a million different ways. For those of us that are a certain age, this is kind of a throwback to the late 1970s and the early 1980s. And if you were getting your license, or if you were a young person driving your first or second vehicle back in that day, chances are if you bought something new, you bought a little imported pickup truck. And back then you could have bought a Nissan, you could have bought a Mazda, you could have bought a Toyota. All of these things were going new for less than $7,000, $8,000. Usually without the rear bumper because that was politics and the chicken tax and some things they had to do. But basically, and they were bulletproof. And people bought those and droves. This is the modern day throwback to say, you know what? People are willing to pay, people are looking for inexpensive utility. And they're willing, they want individuality to the extreme, and this is what it does. They provide you basically the canvas and you paint that canvas or include what you want the way you want it. It can't get any better than that. The company minimizes expenses on the front end while allowing customization in the extreme at the back end. Everybody wins. No two trucks end up looking alike. The question is, is the market as big as they think? They still believe that they can come in at around $25,000, even without the credits, even without the state credits now. They believe they're still on track. We are going to expect to see these trucks on the road in volume in the wild between now and the end of the year. The question is, does Slate have the secret sauce necessary to be successful? Because trust me, many, many, many over the last 120 years, many people have been lured by the siren song of the automotive business. And many people have failed because they didn't have either the right product, the financial wherewithal, or the quality, or part of all three to survive. The vehicle's no good if the quality ain't there, and it don't matter what price it is. And it doesn't matter if it's something that is not as easily customizable as they claim it will be. Or if there are any other glitches, supplier glitches, uh assembly glitches. Will tariffs have any impact on it? Right now, it doesn't seem that they are going to be that impacted by that. But to their credit, they plan to bypass dealerships and they're employing a partnership with an outfit called RepairPal to tap into more than 4,000 independent service centers. And I think that's unfortunate because there are no RepairPal service centers within at least two to 300 miles of where I'm standing. And if there was ever a market for this product in America, it is the upper Midwest. Are you kidding me? There are a lot of kids out there that right now are probably running 15 to 20-year-old full-size pickups that really, really, really, if they had a choice, would buy this. Cheaper to run, cheaper to keep. And the best part that it is these vehicles will be able to utilize the Tesla Supercharger Network, which there are 17,000 locations. So you start there, not to mention, obviously, you have the ability to plug it in at home. So where are we going with this? How many do you think they're going to build? They believe that their plant that at full strength can build 150,000 units a year. The challenge I have is I think they're 150 to 100,000 light. A typical assembly plant runs 250,000 and they base their investments and everything on that run rate. And unless their run rate is going to be significantly higher than that, it's going to be a challenge. But they are going to build it in Warsaw, Indiana, which is near a GM truck plant just outside of Fort Wayne. So they're not, they're not gambling, they're not betting against the house too badly. They're going someplace where there is talent available and people who know how to build stuff. And that saves a lot of time when you're building a new plant and trying to get it up to speed. So we'll see. $150,000 a year, so they claim. At full strength.

SPEAKER_00Something new to crave, presenting the all new CRV from Honda.
SPEAKER_03Could you crave a compact crossover SUV? The year was 2006. It was the next generation CRV. Subcompact and compact crossovers were becoming a thing then, even as America was expanding their love of full-size half-ton and three-quarter ton pickup trucks, SUVs, and crossovers. The Honda CRV. Even to this day, they sell a lot of them. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And as a lot of folks said, you know what? This is perfect for me. And even after 20 years, still is. What do you know? When
Finland’s Deep Nuclear Waste Repository
SPEAKER_03it comes to nuclear waste, here's an inconvenient truth. At best, that waste is being stored in a temporary facility. And at worst, it's still co-located on the site where it was originally used, such as a new nuclear power plant. Let me break this down for you. We've been using nuclear power in this country 60, 70 years, and every all of the waste, all of it, all of it, is sitting in what is called a temporary storage facility. What I mean by temporary means that could you store it there long term, considering that these isotopes take thousands of years to get to the half-life? Meaning long after this civilization, as you know it, many, many, many, many, many years in the future ceases to exist, that stuff will still be decaying and could still be dangerous to whoever or whatever is around. I wanted to give you some context. After all these years, globally, Finland is preparing to launch the world's first deep underground nuclear waste facility that is actually designed for long-term storage. How long you may ask? Try one hundred thousand years. Wrap your head around that. This is topic A. Finland is using tunnels in rock that is one point nine billion years old. This is bedrock. I mean, you can't even fathom this. Let's put this into perspective. Jesus walked the earth 2,000 years ago, plus. The Roman Empire, what? Three or four thousand years ago. We're talking tens of thousands of years. Can you imagine mankind has created something waste, dangerous, that's going to outlive us by so many factors is pathetic and still be dangerous to whoever or whatever may still be on this planet assuming Earth is still around that many years from now. And can you imagine being an engineer right now having to think like that? Well, in any case, this repository is nearing operations in Finland, marking a major step in solving one of nuclear energy's toughest problems. Built deep inside the 1.9 billion-year-old bedrock, the facility known as the Ankalo Nuclear Waste Repository is designed to store highly radioactive waste for up to 100,000 years and is expected to receive final approval within months. Once operational, it will become the first facility of its kind to move beyond temporary storage and offer a long-term disposal solution. I want that to sink in. How does an engineer equipped with best practices today, everything that you possibly know about nuclear waste, storage, and mitigation today, everything could be enough to store something so far in the future, even your ancestors won't know who you were. And that's just making a lot of assumptions. We barely can assume what's happening 50 years from now, hundred years from now. Shoot, the Middle Ages are only 800 years ago. Yeah, I I just want that to sink in. I can't even get my hands, my head around these numbers. Nuclear waste has long posed a challenge for the energy sector. While nuclear power produces low carbon emissions, the spent fuel remains dangerously radioactive for millennia, requiring isolation from humans and the environment. At Oncalo, that solution lies hundreds of meters underground. Follow me for a minute. Waste will be sealed in copper canisters and buried in tunnels carved in a stable bedrock where multiple layers of protection are designed to prevent leaks. The repository sits more than 400 meters below the surface in those ancient rock formations selected for this stability. Engineers chose the site for its low seismic activity and the ability to contain radiation over extremely long periods. Here's a chilling quote for you. It's the isolation from civilization and mankind on the surface that is important. That was, according to geologist Tuamas Peer, said while explaining why the remote location was selected. We can dispose of the waste more safely than by storing it in facilities located on the ground, which are where they've been, subject to leaking, contamination, uh shifts in weather, shifts in ground, um leaking into the aquifer, a million different things. Um, sabotage, because it's above ground. In this ground, it ain't going nowhere. But it presents some challenges. Like, for example, the process involves sealing spent nuclear fuel inside corrosion-resistant copper canisters, which are then placed in underground tunnels. They're packed with something called benonite clay. This is a material that swells when wet, creating an additional barrier against water movement and radiation release. The facility is being developed by a company called Posiva, which estimates it can store up to 6,500 tons of spent nuclear fuel. 6,500 tons. Once filled, the tunnels will be sealed permanently, leaving the waste isolated for tens of thousands of years. But the problem is, experts say uncertainties remain about how the materials will behave over extremely long timescales. How long will the copper barrels last? And by the time they aren't any good anymore, will this stuff still be a threat? And then how do you label it so if somebody stumbles across it 80,000, 90,000 years from now, they know what the heck it is? Heck, I'll be easy. 30,000 years from now. We don't even know if mankind will even be around, let alone the planet. Yet these guys got to think so far in the future. How do you identify this stuff? How do you tell people in a way they would understand? All electric U.S. recreational vehicle startup light chip is scaling up to meet surging demand. This is the Tech Mobility Show.

LightShip Reimagines The Electric RV
SPEAKER_03name is LightShip, and they're a Colorado-based electric RV manufacturer that recently announced the scaling up to meet surging demand with a major expansion of its main facility. Its first ERV, the AE1, started production in August of last year. If you think that demand for all types of EVs has died in the United States, you got another thing common. This is topic B. Just because the current government has decided that EVs shouldn't be supported by the government in any way, shape, or form. Don't think for one minute that the industry just ran out, laid over, and played dead. It didn't. Light chip has reimagined the RV in a way that is amazing. Imagine an RV that actually helps by giving power to the tow vehicle, helping the tow vehicle actually move. Can you imagine in some cases with some other manufacturers that are even looking at semi-autonomous RVs that when you get them to a campsite have the ability to set, adjust, and level itself automatically. RVs are being reimagined. They've been around for 60, 70 years or more. And all of this technology that you're reading about cars and trucks and things working its way into the RV industry. Now we've tried to talk about autonomous RVs, and we ain't there yet by any stretch of the imagination. But companies like LightShip, companies like Airstream are looking at electric assistance, electric support, are making progress. In fact, we talked about one, I want to say it was oh man, uh Rambling, Grambling or something, that was looking at converting um the bright drop EVs that GM was building, and I still think GM just discontinuing those was a really bad idea, but I digress. Where do you think, excuse me, this is going? They're in the case of LightShip, they're going to double, more than double, about two and a half times their current plant or floor space to build what they call surging demand. And if you think these little things are cheap, they start at $157,500. Which in the RV world, believe it or not, is not that expensive. But no, this is more than just buying a car. The strength, the secret sauce to light ships manufacturing, is that they on purpose are staying US-based. They're not sending out anything. They estimate that their current build is 80% American sourced. And their secret sauce is because they are so close to the customer, because their supply chain is stateside, that they can respond quickly to customer input, to experience input, as they get their product out there and they hear from people who are having interaction with their product. They can make changes, they can deal with problems in real time, which is a strategic strength for them, particularly being small. They believe that their manufacturing approach allows for tighter quality control, faster product iteration, and greater insulation from global supply chain volity. It will also enable the increasing of vertical integration while expanding service and RD capabilities to support future product development. If they hear about something in the field that's a great idea, or somebody modified it in a certain way that they think would have value across everything else, they have the ability now, being stateside with all of their resources, to engineer that in. So everybody benefits and it makes them better. The EV battery pack that they use is a lithium iron iron phosphate battery or a LFP. And while that is not as dense as the magnesium cobalt lithium batteries, still, still, it gives them cost control and it allows them to offer power. The average battery pack in the light ship model, 77 kilowatt hour. That's their larger one. And for comparison, that would put it towards the higher range or the larger range of a larger but not large EV on the road currently, 77. That's a decent size pack. It's not a ginormous pack, but it's good size. That would put you in the smaller pack of, say, a lucid gravity touring, but not the grand touring. Grand Touring would be a little bigger pack. So it's good size. And because of consumer input, they made that battery, which was the larger one, standard now across their configurations. One big advantage. They had a top trim, remember I said it started, started at $157,500, but they had a high trim that went as much as $184,000. And did I mention earlier they are more than doubling their floor space, plant floor space to meet, quote, surging demand? I wanted to leave that, I wanted that to sink in for you. Think about that for a minute. Part of that was because of the pandemic. People reassessed space, living space, working space. Airstream capitalized on that, and now light ship. Home backup. That is an interesting concept. Extended travel, short-term rental use, and full-time living. Wow. The pandemic made people reassess living, where you wanted to live, how you wanted to live. Airstream capitalized on that. Light chip is also capitalizing on that. Short-term rental. We talked a lot about tiny houses. Here's an opportunity to reuse or use differently. An RV, heck, as an Airbnb, a temporary place for people to put up for a while. Or even full-time living. This is my life. Their system is set up to help the tow vehicle in something called dual mode. And then they've got something called road mode, which actually has the S has the RV reduce in size to be more aerodynamic to aid in towing. And they estimate that it actually improves it quite a bit in terms of energy use. Not to mention that battery pack can also power a house or even power the tow vehicle if it's an electric and needs extra juice. Meaning you should never ever get stranded. And also, it has solar panels, which adds additional power opportunity when you're out literally in the wild.

Plug-In Solar For Renters
SPEAKER_03Here in the upper Midwest, when people start talking about renewable energy, it's usually wind and the wind farms that cover the prairie landscape. What doesn't get as much attention is solar power. Although, if you looked a bit closer, you'd see the solar farms too. Now comes a twist on that concept called plug-in solar. A growing number of states are poised to pass bills supporting the panels, which are designed for do-it-yourself installation. This is topic C. We ain't talking about no wind farm. And we're not talking about a yard-mounted installation, which you might see up here in the Midwest, somebody who's got land, who decided that they were going to go all in on solar and put up a solar array in their backyard. No, no, no, no. This is way simpler. Let me give you a comparison. Think about plug-in solar the same way you would think about a window-mounted air conditioning unit. Because that's where we're going. Solar for the masses and opportunity. No, these installations are not designed to power an entire apartment. And no, they're not designed to be a standalone thing. But what they are designed to do, particularly in urban areas, is those folks that are jammed up paying ridiculously high electric rates may have a way to mitigate this by producing their own power. Literally mounting this in a window or on a balcony and plugging it in. Let that sink in for a minute. Plugging it in. Hang one on your window, set it on a desk, plug it into a regular outlet, and power starts flowing back into your home. See, the beautiful part about technology and the beautiful part about this world we live in is that we are a planet of tinkerers, thinkers, inventors. Somebody is always looking to do the next best, greatest thing. And it may be yet another phenomenal idea somebody is tinkering around with in their garage, in their spare bedroom, somewhere that may be six months, a year, two years, five years away, that will shake stuff up again. But right now, we're talking about plug-in solar. A new calculator helps you estimate how much you can save on your power bills, using your zip code to estimate how much sunshine you get and how much you're paying for electricity now. Obviously, this tech could be especially useful in cities like New York, where renters have steep electric bills and don't have roofs to install traditional solar panel systems. Let me stop right here. If you are a renter, your ability to use clean energy, alternative energy, severely limited. And it doesn't matter where you live because you don't own the building, you don't have land, you are limited. Typically don't own your own garage. So if you wanted to go clean energy, if you wanted to go alternative energy, if you wanted to reduce your carbon footprint and you're a renter, you're way limited because you aren't in control of the assets necessary to do that. It also means that you are hostage to whatever's delivery system that you get. And trust me, I know a little something about that. As a renter in a fairly new building, um, I am restricted by the internet provider I have. Me and the internet provider have had issues, can't change, lease won't let me. And unless they totally rewire the building, I'm stuck. So stuck's no fun. In this case, even homeowners who don't want to invest in a full rooftop system can also use plug-in panels. Designed for self-install installation, they avoid, and this could be thousands of dollars, the cost of permitting inspections, hiring an electrician, and the marketing expenses of solar companies, which together make up nearly half the price of traditional systems. What this feature does not address, and I have to wonder, is it as really as plugging it in? I'm not an electrician. But it would seem to me a plug, typically electricity is coming one way. Would I need some sort of device somewhere for the plug to realize that I'm putting power back into the system? Or is it already that way? I don't know. This one thing it didn't address. It said you could do it yourself. But I don't know what this does to A, uh, the circuitry of your home or apartment. B, would something like this invalidate your lease? Would you have to get permission from the landlord to actually do that? And if you did, who's liable if something goes sideways? Because you're actually plugging this in, I would think. And by the way, the article's talking, it does not seem that you need anything else, but I I wonder about that. I'm not totally sold about that part of it. It would seem to me that you would need some kind of two-way designate or identification. And then finally, in Iowa, we've had a law in the books for some time that said if a consumer produces electricity on their premise, the local power utility they're connected to has to buy it. In our case, it's Mid-American Energy. Mid-American Energy would not have a choice. If I'm producing electricity for sale to the grid, they would have to buy it from me and pay whatever uh is legislated or decreed by the Public Utility Commission per kilowatt hour. How does this work? This is what they call behind the meter. So does it even get to the meter? And if it doesn't, how does the wiring in your apartment recognize inbound power that is not coming from the circuit board? Or I mean the uh the major board where the power comes through? I don't know. These are questions that I have. They say it's do it yourself, and states are make it illegal. But I've got questions about how the power flows, what the protections are. Are there circuit breakers on the power on the solar panels? If something goes awry, that will flip it from causing damage? And if there is some sort of damage, who's liable? Am I liable as the do-it-yourselfer that put it in? Is there some other things that I need to make sure that it's okay within my apartment? What if the apartment catches fire? What if the panel is faulty and I didn't know it? Who j who verifies that the panel's in working order? And what kind of regulations would there be to stipulate the level of safety control, power, whatever of the panel I want to install? Is it compatible? Is it safe? What what else do I need to worry about? Do I need to change my insurance policy? Will my lease allow it? All sorts of things that I wonder about. It's a great idea if it's affordable, number one, and two, if it is that easy to use. And then we have to find out if the state allows it. And then we find out these other questions in terms of the apartment insurance, liability, et cetera, before I'd even plug the thing in. Because you want to be safe and you want to make sure you're not causing a problem trying to cure one.
