Dan Grossman, CEO of Automotive and Shared Mobility Advisors and Jason Goldfarb, EV Infrastructure Attorney at Falcon Rappaport & Berkman LLP join the show today (on-location at MOVE America!) to talk about balancing risk vs reward in the inherently unstable domain of EV startups. It just so happens that this topic is particularly timely following the recent shutdown of Enel X North America’s electric mobility operations in the U.S. and Canada as of October 11, 2024. This pivotal conversation with Dan and Jason will explore the *very* thin line between arrogance and intelligence in a world that demands constant innovation. And if you take away nothing else from this episode, just know that you'll definitely want Dan and Jason in your corner when the "you know what hits the fan." In other words, press play on this episode if you're a founder and want to navigate these complexities successfully (and make a few dollars while you're at it).

Ryan Murphy, Department Manager for EV Charging & Home Energy Business Development at American Honda Motor Co. and Rick Bell, Managing Partner at The Merlin Group join the show (on-location at MOVE America!) to talk all things EV charging and how to FINALLY get it right. In a tangled web of what *should be* happening when rolling up to a charging station vs. what *is actually* happening today, Rick and Ryan talk solutions (not theory) when it comes to customer expectations and the implications for all players involved, from the manufacturer to the charging station to the EV driver and even the fleet owner. Don't sleep on this episode if you're even slightly involved with the EV charging landscape - I promise you there are some gold nuggets in this episode! And huge shout-out to the Honda Prologue for earning a best-in-class standard EPA range rating of 296 miles on a full charge. Oh, and tell me again why you wouldn't at least take a look at an awesome all-electric SUV? That's what I thought.

Melinda Zabritski, Head of Automotive Financial Insights at Experian and Jamie Butters, Executive Editor at Automotive News join the show today for the highly anticipated maiden voyage of the "EVs for Everyone with Experian" miniseries! Press play to hear both Melinda and Jamie's hot takes on current EV trends shaping the electric vehicle market, based on Experian’s State of the Automotive Finance Market Q2 2024 report. EVs now account for 8.35% of new car sales, with over 46% being leased, a significant increase from just 20.9% in Q2 2021. This shift toward leasing over buying is highlighted as a potential game-changer for the EV industry, making electric vehicles more accessible through lower monthly payments. We also talked about models like the Toyota bZ4X and Hyundai IONIQ 5 which have high lease rates due to their competitive monthly costs. So what do you think about leasing an EV? Is leasing on your radar if you're considering making the switch to electric? Tell us in the comments on LinkedIn!

Joseph Nagle, Head of Corporate Strategy at Pando Electric, is on the show today to (finally!) talk about the long-debated issue of EV charger access in apartments and multifamily homes.

Molly Boigon, Tech and Innovation Reporter from Automotive News, is on the show today to talk about the 2024 Mobility Consumer Index (MCI) from EY which finds that 34% of U.S. consumers planning to buy a car in the next two years are considering an EV which is down from 48% a year ago. The two biggest concerns? Battery replacement costs and charging accessibility. While it's true that early adopters have paved the way for EV consideration, now its all about helping a new wave of buyers understand the long term benefits of going electric. Don't miss this candid conversation with Molly because this EY survey definitely has some...spice. I'm talking 3-5 business days worth of spice!

Ryan Else, Corporate Fixed Operations Director at Eide Auto Group in North Dakota, joins the show today to talk about the role of service and collision in the electric vehicle space (imagine that!) Although North Dakota has one of the lowest rates of EV adoption in the country, Ryan openly discusses his expectations for the future of fixed operations involving electric drivetrains. Will it include parts subscriptions for tires? Will it heavily focus on OTAs (over-the-air updates)? Or will it be all of the above? What will give franchise dealerships the upper hand when trying to deal with EVs profitably in the service lane? In the land of F-150s, RAMs (and some hybrids), Ryan gives us all a much needed reality check. Yeah, I said it!
