In North America, we are starting to see EVs more and more commonly. But we are still behind: The rest of the world is pulling ahead in this regard at an alarming rate. And yet, so many North-Americans still have their heads burried in the sand of innacurate EV myths. 

As the world is rapidly transitioning to electric passenger vehicles, we explore all the ways that electric cars make sense and tradiotnal gas cars don't.

I was walking after a summer rain and suddenly noticed something that felt new to me. And yet I knew it wasn't. But it was the first time I was REALLY noticing it. The wet sidewalk was now darker than when it was dry.

In this short-form episode, we will answer that question and we hope it will make for great alien dinner conversation!
