It was an atypical and fascinating dialog for me, as a result of it wasn’t with somebody entrenched in and coming from the EV trade. This can be a extra typical auto man who’s coming on the EV subject from a “normal auto guy” perspective. That being the case, I used to be curious to select his mind on how he noticed the EV trade and EV traits. Nonetheless, I’ve to say that we talked about quite a bit of various matters. It was a enjoyable dialogue. Hearken to the entire dialog right here:
