The Dawn of the Sustainable Electric Vehicle Revolution

The Dawn of the Sustainable Electric Vehicle Revolution

Since the first mass market electric vehicle (EV), the Nissan Leaf, was introduced a decade ago, the drumbeat has been loud and persistent about the environmental promise of the electrification of transportation. But we’ve fallen short many times despite high hopes and the best of intentions. Social forces, government policy, business priorities, and technology innovation…
