From Transport Evolved.
Welcome to today’s show!
Nikki normally produces TEN in its entirety. Because she’s away, this week Kate recorded and produced it – there are unfortunately two brief video glitches, but because of her other work schedule she’s unable to re-render it.
This week, we’ve seen some pretty big news from both the EPA and the DoE that might help curb emissions and encourage EV adoption, and heard some pretty big words from Ford and both the Hyundai and Volkswagen groups, all of which have shared some big news about future plans. Plus much more, of course (as listed below!)
