The Future is Electric - Joan on Full Crew podcast with Matt Bianco and Chris Treanor

“This is not just an executive order. There is a point behind net zero goals, and this is to address climate change and global warming. A million and a half EVs were sold last year. Infrastructure is still being built. I’d say the train has left the station." 

Joan Michelson on Full Crew Podcast

The U.S. government has provided $7 billion in funding for critical minerals and $7 billion to fund 500,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. With a new administration now in place, what can this mean for the transition to EVs, as well as EV policies and regulations?

Listen to Joan Michelson’s discussion on the tech podcast Full Crew, with Matt Bianco, President of FedWay Consulting and Chris Treanor, Partner at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld. This podcast was recorded before the 2024 US presidential election, but the insights are more relevant than ever. This wide-ranging discussion dives into all things related to electric vehicles, from political support and policies for EVs, to global competition in the EV market, and what the development of EVs means for the workforce.

You’ll hear about:

• The critical role of government policies and regulations in driving EV adoption.
• Concerns about supply chain security and the dominance of China in the global EV market.
• The increasing focus on cybersecurity and supply chain security.
• The federal government's efforts to procure and deploy EV charging infrastructure.

“All the leaders who successfully lead in times of great change embrace the ride, trust their knowledge and abilities, seek outside input, and leverage their resources, including their networks.

 Now is one of those times of great change. Mother Nature, society, and our political systems remind us of that every day.”
