"Most popular premium EVs" = 4 Teslas and the Ford Mach E
TeslaTouring.com was VERY interested in the cars that Bridgestone studied - 4 Tesla models and the Ford Mach E as being 69% of the US PREMIUM EVs.
Other leading EVs who could use the Bridgestone's Turanza tires.
(Some of which were represented at this Expo)

This is specific to this TeslaTouring.com website since it covers Tesla X, Y, and 3.
From TheDrive.com: It’s fair to say that Bridgestone knows a thing or three about performance tires for ICE vehicles. But the company just debuted its first dedicated electric vehicle replacement tire at the Electrify Expo, the Turanza EV grand touring tire as with it, the brand is targeting North America’s top-selling electric vehicles, including all Tesla models and the Ford Mustang Mach-E.
And from what Bridgestone claims, it promises to improve the experience of driving an electric vehicle in practically every measurable way.
If you drive an EV, you’re probably aware of the trade-off that comes with it. You’ve got monumental levels of torque on tap, but if you want to lay it down with performance tires, you’ll lose range and sacrifice longevity. Likewise, if you buy a tire that’ll give you plenty of mileage and range, you sacrifice some performance and are probably in for a bumpier, noisier ride. But the Turanza EV is engineered to specifically tackle all these issues.
The tire debuts Bridgestone’s ENLITEN technology, which is engineered
to help optimize all-season performance, provide longer wear life, and
allow for the incorporation of renewable and recycled materials in
tires. The core technology uses a next-generation compound, which is
meant to improve performance in both wet and dry conditions. Based on a
comparative wet braking and wet lap time testing of the Turanza EV
tires and Continental’s ProContact RX tires, Bridgestone says its
latest offering is on par with the leading OE touring tire.
The ENLITEN technology also includes new structural components, as Bridgestone claims this helps deliver a more comfortable, quieter ride while also providing excellent steering feel. And the comfort levels should be further enhanced by the inclusion of QuietTrack technology, which is embedded in the tread design to reduce road noise.
According to Bridgestone, the ENLITEN technology gives the tire low rolling resistance. Which, in theory, makes it possible to maintain a long-mileage range per charge without sacrificing as much tread life or performance.
One of the ENLITEN technologies debuting on the Turanza EV is PeakLife,
a next-generation polymer technology that is meant to enhance tread
resistance to wear and extend tire life. PeakLife polymer creates an
extensive network of bonds between the polymer and reinforcing
particles, which should make the tire tread last longer. The company
wanted to prioritize significantly improving the Turanza EV’s wear
capabilities, so brought this technology from the research and
development phase to product application in less than two years.
Bridgestone stands behind the combination of next-generation tread compound and PeakLife polymer technology to the tune of a 50,000-mile limited warranty.
The final string to the Turanaza EV’s bow is the increased use of renewable and recycled materials. Bridgestone uses recycled carbon black from end-of-life tires, synthetic rubber derived from recycled plastic bags and bottles, renewable soybean oil, and Rice Husk Silica in the construction. In total, the tire incorporates 50 percent renewable and recyclable materials, which aligns with the Bridgestone E8 Commitment.
The Turanaza EV is launching the initial five available sizes immediately, with 13 additional sizes coming in early 2024.

Notes from Loren's talk:
Tesla Y and 3 are placed 1 and 2 as
most selling cars in US now
Tesla company is 4th largest company in auto sales in the US
70% of auto sales are used vehicles today
There are currently 17 EVs to each public charger
Half of American households cannot charge their EV where they live

Before I got my press pass, I noticed that Sandy Munro would be a guest speaker, so I decided to go.
Unfortunately this was a "chat"
with no slides such as in a keynote speech, so the only thing to report
are the itidbits a reporter writes down while listening to the chat.
Notes of Sandy Munro's comments:
He took a recent 8,000 mile EV trip in 11 days following the 20% - 80% (charge to stop charging %) and never had "range anxiety." He did the trip in 11 days. And the front seats in a Tesla Model 3 are the best feeling of any EV.
Tesla charging network is 5 to 8 years ahead of the non-Tesla "network". Example, the Rivian charging systems lack in number and those available don't work.
The best power train is Lucid's.
Ford Lightning is a great truck.
New is a battery you can pour in vacant places in a car - liquid battery.
"Dry Battery" is the next new thing - Dry Cell Battery.
LFP battery being researched - Lithium Iron Phosphate
Badlands of the US and Canada hold all the battery chemicals we need, but their extraction is being held back by laws.
The "Recycling batteries problem" is being solved by old BEV's batteries being used in battery packs.
New is using capacitors and battery packs together.
The US needs to accept that Chinese Vehicles are good products and needed in the US to meet the 2030 mandate.
Munro's Law: by 2028 50% of cars manufactured will be electric.
My second Breakout, above, had too many speakers and too little time.
My Notes:
SCE said that 80% of charging of an EV is at home or work place
Hyundai said 70% of vehicle owners are yet to electify
Ford says Customer obsession must be balanced by competative awareness
and range anxiety has changed to charge anxiety
Motor Trend said 5% of new car sales are EVs, but can it go to 50% by 2030.

This Breakout was one of 2
available at this time, downstairs.
. 
. This Breakout had too many
speakers in too little time to recieve any useful information.
However, later in the day I found Kunal Kuppor, second from
right above, outside at his BOSH E-Bike Systems booth, and asked him
specific questions which I had wanted to learn in the breakout.
"Are there age limits and speed limits for e-bikes?" He said there are 3 classes of e-bikes and there should be a sticker on all e-bikes showing "Class 1, 2 or 3".
From: https://bikexchange.com/electric-bike-classes/
"Are there age limits and speed limits for e-bikes?" He said there are 3 classes of e-bikes and there should be a sticker on all e-bikes showing "Class 1, 2 or 3".
From: https://bikexchange.com/electric-bike-classes/
Class 1 eBikes are bikes that use pedal-assist to
a maximum assisted speed of 20mph.
This means that they are pedal-assist-only eBikes, and they must be without throttle controls, i.e. you must pedal the bike to engage the e-bike motor. They’re also called Pedelecs, (pedal electric cycles) and they must adhere to the class 1 electric bike speed limit of 20mph.
From October 2020 this was written into legislation in the United States and has helped to clarify the confusing market of eBike classes and assistance levels. It also helps to clarify where these bikes can go. Previously, they were unable to be used on certain mountain bike trails and bike paths as they were in a grey area of motor vehicle status. Now, however, they can be ridden in more areas and not just on the road.
Main Features of Class 1 eBikes:
Pedal assistance
Assisted speed up to 20mph
No assistance without pedaling
The motor must be less than 750W
Mostly have the same rights and access privileges as regular bikes
Class 2 electric bikes also have a maximum assisted speed of 20mph.
However, unlike class 1, they can include throttle assistance without the need for pedaling. This of course doesn’t mean the assistance cuts out if you do start pedaling, but the option is there for you to not pedal and use the throttle. Class 2 e-bike max speed is the same as class 1, at 20mph, and as with class 1 bikes, you can ride them as ‘unassisted’ bikes, i.e. with the motor off, and in the same places.
Class 2 e-bikes generally look similar to class 1 bikes, except they have the inclusion of a throttle assist. This is usually on the handlebars so can look quite subtle.
Class 2 eBikes have a throttle that assist up to 20mph.
Main features of class 2 eBikes:
Throttle assistance can be activated through a trigger, button, or twist-grip
Can be ridden without pedaling
May also have pedal-assistance
Maximum assisted speed is 20mph
The motor must be less than 750 watts
Mostly have the same rights and access privileges as regular bikes
Class 3 eBikes are slightly more confusing. Age 16 and above in California and some other states.
Their maximum assisted speed is set to 28mph making them quite high-speed electric bikes. They must also be equipped with a speedometer to let you know how fast you’re riding. The complicated part is the addition of a throttle. Some states don’t allow throttles at all on the bike (such as California), whereas others only allow the throttle to be used up to 20mp/h, but the pedal assist can continue to 28mph.
Additionally, the motor must have a capacity of less than 750W, and you cannot ride these on bike paths that exist outside of the road. To get around this, manufacturers apply a limit to the throttle speed (20mph). Some speed pedelecs can be adjusted so if you want to ride on a multi-use trail, for example, you can switch the throttle assist to max out at 20mph, and remove the limit when you ride on the road.
Check with your local legislation before using a class 3 eBike to figure out where you’re allowed to ride it.
Main features of class 3 eBikes:
Pedal assistance
Max assisted speed is 28mph
Equipped with speedometer
The motor must be less than 750W
Restricted from multi-use paths
Mostly with an age limit. Depending on the state, the rider must be at least 14, 15, or 16.
Optional throttle with 20mph assistance
Which class of eBike should you choose?
Well, it depends on the type of eBike you’re after, and where you are. In Europe, mainly only Class 1 Type eBikes are available, whereas in the US you have a much wider selection.
Class 1 – Typically where you’ll find the majority of electric bikes, particularly in Europe. Bikes such as commuter, folding, and less powerful road and mountain bikes can be found in this category.
Class 2 – For those that want assistance up to 28mph and perhaps a throttle assist (up to 20mph). Types of bikes often found in this category include mountain bikes, come commuters and cargo bikes.
Class 3 – As class 3 eBikes aren’t permitted to ride multi-use trails without limiting the throttle assist, they’re not as popular to produce with manufacturers. That being said, you’ll still find plenty of commuter and road bikes in this category for those that want to go fast.
Class 4 – Best for those who want to go off-road as class 4 eBikes aren’t permitted on the road as they need to be licensed and insured as they’re classed as motor vehicles. Bikes in this category are often off-road specific hunting bikes, or other outdoor activity focused.

To finish the Bridgestone Turanza
EV story, I was able to cancel my order at my local Firestone store to
replace a flat tire with a Continental original tire and get a
Bridgestone Turanza EV tire instead, after learning that their research
shows no need for the foam any more.
