Chevy Drops Model, EV Infrastructure Funding,

Buying Off-Road Tires

(Show Notes)

Jill and Tom opened the show discussing an “insertion” into the podcast schedule. A 5-minute “bonus episode” was posted between the last full episode (259) and today’s show (261). That episode includes Tom’s test drive with Robert Colangelo (Green Sense Show) of the 2025 Toyota Camry, which is now hybrid only.

Still in the first segment, the hosts discussed the discontinuation of a popular Chevrolet Model, the status of Mexican and Canadian tariffs, and the administration’s halting of funds for the NEVI (National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure act) program. Jill also reviewed the 2025 Lexus LX 700h crossover.

In the second segment, Jill and Tom are joined by TJ Campbell of the Tire Rack. TJ discussed the Tire Rack’s testing program, and talked about buying the best off-road—oriented tires for trucks and crossovers.

In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom’s “Where is it Built” quiz.
