The first in a three part series on Transportation. 2017 brings the Chevy Bolt and the Tesla 3 to the electric vehicle market - two EVs with over 200 miles range. The only thing holding back EVs is charging infrastructure. In this episode we discuss ways in which states can facilitate investment in charging infrastructure by utilities. In an era of flat and declining load, utilities may have the most to gain from this new load source that can grow load while reducing carbon emissions.
Customer Reviews
Excellent
Entertaining and insightful hosts, taking on complex and important topics and making them understandable and interesting. I love this podcast.
Good but give me more
I like the podcast but please give me longer episodes.
Excellent High Level Policy Tutorial
Great podcast for the generalist who is interested in becoming sufficiently informed to affect positive policy change. Tom and Jeff keep it as cool, casual and good humored as the topic permits. I highly recommend to all advocates and politicians interested in climate policy!
