Directly Current Episode 10: What Trump's Win Means For EVs with Jamie Butters of Automotive News
It’s been one crazy week. For the wonks at the EV Politics Project, we were wondering what Trump’s return to Washington and Republican congressional majorities could mean for future for electric cars. Luckily for Max Patten and Mike Murphy, they had the privilege of chatting with Executive Editor of Automotive News Jamie Butters, who also hosts his own podcast on the auto industry’s never-ending news cycle.
There’s a lot to discuss, between the Elon/Trump bromance gaining a new relevance to the prospect of losing incentives and funding for federal chargers. We promise this isn’t all doom and gloom nor is it an episode of political or industry bedwetting. There’s lots of work to do to better understand this new political dynamic and what it means for EVs. Let’s get into it!
