Crossing the Chasm: What Will Reignite EV Adoption in North America? | #14

Eric, Walter, and Steve fire up another fortnightly fast charge live stream, discussing the latest from Tesla's Supercharger situation and bp pulse potentially snapping up abandoned sites, Cox Automotive's new study on turning EV skeptics into EV "considerers" over the next few years, and the new tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. Our main topic is contextualizing the current headwinds dragging on EV adoption and how the industry will "cross the chasm" from early adopters to the early mainstream, a common challenge highlighted on the Technology Adoption Curve.
