PCMag journalist Emily Dreibelbis and I explore the complex development of EVs and batteries and the current trend in EV adoption. We had a candid discussion and explored the challenges of EV ownership in the USA, the impact of COVID-19 on battery prices, and the potential of solid-state batteries. Emily emphasises consumer incentives, societal benefits, the difficulty in charging, and reduced maintenance costs.

The conversation also explores the global outlook for EV adoption in Australia, the Philippines, and the super cold weather in Chicago.
