There's an abundance of auto industry news this week and as often is the case, it is led by what's happening in the Electric Vehicle Market. Todd Bianco starts the program with these reports and concludes this week's program discussing more vintage window stickers and sharing amazement at how options used to be valued.

In the middle of this week's episode, Todd is joined as he is most weeks by John McMullen and they take you on a virtual auto auction spree at BringATrailer.com. This week's selections are below!

Todd Bianco and John McMullen talked at length about the Hertz-Tesla deal, what it means for electric cars, how it benefits both companies. We also discussed the Uber deal with Hertz to rent 50,000 Tesla EVs on a weekly basis to its drivers. And did you know the average price of a vehicle purchase in the US is now above $45,000? People are buying ever-more expensive, big SUVs and trucks.

On this edition of All Revved Up with Todd Bianco: Big auto companies are making big deals for battery factories to electrify their fleets. Todd ranted about the fact that “MIC” Made-In-China cars are coming to the U.S. The Chinese invasion will be with electric vehicles, completely skipping internal combustion vehicles. Like the Japanese and Koreans before them, they have been learning quickly and now can manufacture desirable products at very competitive prices. We already buy Chinese-built cars in the U.S. without even knowing. The market will look very different by 2030. The Ford Maverick is back as an entry level pickup truck with an eye-popping EPA rating of 42 mpg city for the base hybrid. Tesla is accelerating it dominance in both EVs and Supercharging. Bring-a-Trailer has some fantastic picks this week, including a 1970 Fiat Dino Spyder, a 1971 DeTomaso Pantera and a 1971 Firebird Trans Am.
