Biden’s $635M good-bye, Trump’s DOT pick will investigate Tesla, and a look ahead


Listen Later

On today's episode of Quick Charge we explore the uncertainty around the future of EV incentives, the roles different stakeholders will play in shaping that future, and our friend Stacy Noblet from energy consulting firm ICF stops by to share her take on what lies ahead.

We've got a couple of different articles and studies referenced in this forward-looking interview, and I've done my best to link to all of them below. If I missed one, let me know in the comments.
