Podcast | Betting on Electric Vehicles: A Realistic Appraisal

September 22, 2023

Automakers have put themselves squarely on the road to electrification, but there could be speed bumps ahead.

The demand for, and future of, electric vehicles is clear. Tesla led the way, but most other major automakers have followed suit with EV models, and are betting that that they are the future. But external challenges loom, in the form of capacity constraints, labor shortages, rising freight costs and access to critical raw materials. Will manufacturers surmount those obstacles to meet ambitious plans for EV dominance in a few years? On this episode, we explore the factors that will determine the future of EVs with Vanessa Miller, partner and head of the national auto team with the law firm of Foley & Lardner LLP. And we ask the question: Is there a limit to the EV market? Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.
