Talking Cars Bonus: Why EVs and Why Now
Podcast panel discusses alternative fuels, EVs, and the future of automotive sustainability
Main theme: In this bonus episode, we chat about EVs and alternative fuels with Quinta Warren, PhD, CR’s associate director of sustainability policy. If you’ve ever wondered what’s driving the push toward electrification and why other new technologies haven’t caught on, this episode is for you. In addition to her advocacy and policy work, Warren holds a doctorate in chemical and biomolecular engineering and previously worked with the oil and gas industry. We talk about how the U.S. government has set fuel economy and efficiency goals; why so many automakers are turning to electrification; and whatever happened to hydrogen and biofuels.
