This episode of EV Musings delves into the challenges and opportunities surrounding electric vehicle (EV) adoption in the United States. Despite being the birthplace of Tesla, the U.S. lags behind other countries like Norway in terms of EV uptake.

The discussion covers the complexities of the U.S. charging infrastructure, the dominance of Tesla, the role of politics in EV adoption, and the importance of education for consumers.

It touches on the potential impact of Chinese EVs on the U.S. market and the role of incentives in promoting EV adoption.

We know that the US is 'a different beast' when it comes to EVs. But how much different is it really?
