11-24-20 EV Power Podcast
General Motors has rekindled its friendship with California’s zero-emissions standards, doing an about-face this week by turning its back on Trump administration efforts to strangle the state’s ability to set its own rules. EV Power Podcast hosts Peter Ciani and Rich Taber find a motherlode to mine in this reversal and that leads them right into another vein of politics with the announcement of the launch of the Zero-Emissions Transportation Association lobbying group. So there’s quite a bit of EV news to munch on this Thanksgiving Day week. Enjoy a listen while you rummage through your turkey leftovers and enjoy another slice of this all-electric pie.
