The State of EVs in America | InsideEVs Podcast Ep31

From InsideEVs.

We’re off for the July 4 holiday, so instead of talking about this week’s news we’re bringing you a very exciting interview, recorded June 27.

Our guest this week is Ben Prochazka, the Executive Director of the Electrification Coalition, a nonprofit organization working to accelerate transportation decarbonization in the United States. Ben helps break down the state of EV adoption in America, the increasing politicization of electric cars, the policy landscape that’s currently under threat, the importance of electrifying America’s commercial fleets and a whole lot more.
