He unpacks how electric vehicles—whether high-end Teslas or modest electric tricycles—can drive profound social, economic, and environmental change. From reducing fuel poverty in Bangladesh to transforming urban transport in the Philippines, Sohail explains why EVs should be seen not as luxury items but as essential tools for national energy security and individual empowerment.
