Romeo Power’s Lionel Selwood and RMG’s Robert Mancini On the Booming Electric Vehicle Sector (EP.129)

Well, it finally happened. I bought a Tesla. I fancy myself a trend follower, but I think this is the latest I’ve entered a trend. But this is about more than getting a self-driving car that I can nap in. There has been no hotter sector than that of electric vehicles. And lucky for my listeners, I brought on not one, but two experts – Lionel Selwood and Robert (Bob) Mancini – to talk about this booming sector and the SPAC taking it to another level. Lionel’s energy tech company, which specializes in EV battery production, Romeo Power and Bob’s SPAC RMG Acquisition Corp. recently announced a merger allowing Romeo Power to become a publicly listed company. In this episode, Bob, Lionel and I geek out over EV batteries, Tesla, Elon, SpaceX, NIO, SPACs, Romeo Power, electrification, market opportunities, who they would love to drive around for a day and more.  Guests - Lionel Selwood Jr, CEO at Romeo Power, and Bob Mancini, CEO at RMG Acquisition Corp  howardlindzon.com, romeopower.com, rmgacquisitionb.com Twitter: @howardlindzon, @knutjensen linkedin.com/in/lionel-selwood-jr-ab031b34 linkedin.com/company/romeopowertechnology linkedin.com/company/rmg-acquisition-corp #fintech #invest #investment #venturecapital #stockmarket #finance
