EV fatigue is real, but the market is not behaving the way the loudest voices would have you believe. We dig into what happened after federal EV tax credits shifted and why the “EV sales will crater” storyline misses what consumers actually do when a product hits the mark. The anchor example is Volvo’s EX60, a premium electric SUV seeing stronger-than-forecast demand in Europe, strong enough to force production ramp-ups and unusual capacity moves. I also share what stood out from driving it, including the trade-off between a control layout that makes you relearn habits and a performance experience that sticks with you for months. 

Then we widen the lens to mobility’s backbone: the maritime supply chain. Ocean shipping affects nearly everything you buy, yet U.S. shipbuilding capacity and maritime focus have eroded, creating risk during strikes, pandemics, and geopolitical shocks. We talk through why ports are fragmented, why solutions vary city to city, and why policies like the Jones Act sit within a much bigger challenge involving ships, crews, and long lead times. If you’ve ever wondered why global shipping disruptions hit your wallet so quickly, this section connects the dots. 

Finally, we jump from roads and oceans to the future of work and the tech reshaping how we live. RVs are becoming energy platforms built around off-grid capability, with batteries, solar, and smarter systems that treat “freedom” as an engineering problem. And when AI makes work more automated and more chaotic, we argue that one of the most undervalued advantages is talent: women over 50, who bring judgment, emotional intelligence, and crisis resilience that teams desperately need.
