Episode notes

This chapter explores the discussion around the disparity between the federal government's focus on incentivizing consumers to buy electric vehicles (EVs) and the lack of attention given to infrastructure development, specifically home charging and public charging. The hosts debate the best approach and propose removing restrictions on refueling stations on interstates.

With all the furor over the state of electric vehicle sales in the US, Ed and Kirsten called on Tyson Jominy, VP of data and analytics for JD Power, to find out what exactly is happening with the US auto market. The resulting conversation covers the state of EV sales, the role of charging, the profits that are paying for it all, the not-unrelated disappearance of affordable cars, and more.
