Winning & Losing in the Emerging EV Wars/The Aftershocks of the EV Transition Could Be Ugly
New Books in Science, Technology, and Society03/27/23 • 96 min
Robert Charette, engineer, consultant, and contributing editor at IEEE Spectrum magazine, talks about his twelve-part series, “The Electric Vehicle Transition Explained,” with Peoples & Things host, Lee Vinsel. The series takes a systems perspective on electric vehicles, and talks about all of the potential barriers – from a lack of minerals, to stressing out the electricity grid, to being short on consumers or workers – that face EVs, which are too often cast as a climate change cure-all. Charette and Vinsel also talk about the kinds of thinking that are necessary if we are to have realistic policies around EVs.
Lee Vinsel is an associate professor in the Department of Science, Technology and Society at Virginia Tech.
