Organizer's description: With all the EV advancements across the years, is the future of the EV industry still uncertain?

The EV sector has experienced significant growth over the years. Landmark policy victories like the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act have underscored the United States’ commitment to expanding the EV industry, attracting billions of dollars in collective investments towards battery development, automaker ventures and the expansion of charging infrastructure.

Yet the industry currently faces challenges as several charging companies cease operations, the narrative shifts towards plug-in hybrids and automakers pull back EV plans — all during a presidential election year. Listen in on this interview with the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation highlighting the intricacies of the EV industry and exploring what lies ahead during this pivotal political moment.
