Join Our Livestream: The Hype, Reality, and Future of EVs
Like electric cars have gone mainstream, buyers face a smorgasbord of optionsand Tesla – once untouchable – is no longer the dominant force. Last year was a tough one for Elon Musk's car brand: Sales efforts falteredand the company lost its title of the world's largest EV maker to China's BYD.
Today it feels like all car manufacturers –including luxury brands– race to release their own EVs. But at the same time some companies are scale-up of production plans. So where is the market headed? Will the US build EV charging infrastructure fast enough? Are gas-powered cars becoming obsolete soon? Will an American company ever dominate the EV market again? And what policies can shape what comes next?
Join WIRED's next live stream to discuss these issues and more.
