Mornings on 2: Dollars & Sense with Pam Cook: Gas Prices Up, EV Costs Down - How Canada Just Changed Your Next Car Search

Pam gets into Middle East tensions that are sending oil prices soaring and stock indexes tumbling, and while the "recession" word is back on the table, the EV market is offering a glimmer of hope for consumers. Dollars & Sense break down the surprising trade deal between Canada and China that bypasses U.S. coordination. Then, UC Berkeley Professor James Sallee joins us to explain how this "backdoor" for high-quality, $10,000 Chinese EVs could disrupt the North American market and force U.S. automakers to adapt or get left behind. Pam also takes a look at Uber’s massive $1 billion bet on a fleet of Rivian robotaxis and the controversial proposal to put a sitting president’s image on a 24-karat gold coin.
