Elon is setting up shop in India as first Tesla Semi station gets real (6 years late)

Elon Musk's visit to India may have been more about Tesla than any mission for the US government, if recent job listings at Tesla are to be believed. Plus, we've got news that construction on the first Tesla Semi truck stop is underway in California – and only six years behind schedule! All this and more on today's (also late) episode of Quick Charge!

We've also got news Hyundai and Kia have plans to get back their $7,500 Federal tax credits, are set to launch a new, 509 hp version of the hot-selling EV9 GT, and there's a new battery factory coming to Louisiana. Enjoy!
