Episode notes

i want to touch on the whole national mythology thing that th kerson mentioned, because i think it is a really important part of this. We have made gas cars our multi purpose utility, like mobility device. And what we're trying to do is force electric battery, electric technology into that new hole. So that we can replace a monoculture with a monoc culture.

Ed's latest essay in the New York Times, calling into question the big batteries that have made EVs so popular among American consumers (who can afford them), sparks a wide-ranging discussion in this week's episode. From battery supply chains to American consumer preferences, and from road trips to home charging, almost every aspect of electrification comes together in this fascinating conversation.
