Episode notes

This chapter discusses the major transformation happening in the auto industry with the rise of electric vehicles and the need to develop sustainable products, build new capacity, and collaborate with partners. The speaker emphasizes the goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050 and the importance of transitioning to electric vehicles and clean energy.

Electric vehicles need to be more than just eco-friendly — they have to be more chic, convenient and affordable than their gas-powered alternatives, says sustainability leader Cynthia Williams. She explores what it'll take for an electric revolution to succeed in the US, calling on corporations, policy leaders, investors and more to collaborate in unprecedented ways. After the talk, Modupe shares her own approach to encouraging change that sticks.
