From Directly Current.

Transportation electrification is often framed in environmental terms, but Ben Prochazaka and his colleagues at the Electrification Coalition, where he’s Exeuctive Director, present a different reason to plug in. Oil dependence is a dangerous addiction for economic and geopolitical reasons, as current events have reminded many Americans. He joins the show to explain the progress made in EVs, both passenger and freight, and how barriers like affordability are rapidly becoming less steep.

Max and Ben go over
– The roadblocks to EVs in charging, supply chain, and affordability
– Oil dependency in the US and why electrification is a must
– The progress in medium and heavy duty electrification with Tesla Semi
– The unfair surface transportation bill being proposed to unduly tax EV drivers
