The ABCs of Electric Vehicles with Rue and Dr. Abas Goodarzi

Welcome to EV Chat Season 2! We're mixing things up a bit and taking you back to school. In this episode and the next, we’ll break down all of the pesky acronyms and jargon so everyone can speak confidently about all things electric vehicles (EV).
 
This episode is all about the ABCs of EVs. We’re leaning straight into the alphabet soup. To help us dig into these terms, we’d like to welcome, Dr. Abas Goodarzi, who is our resident scientist, as we wade through the EV dictionary.  

Dr. Abas Goodarzi is the Chief Scientist at Ideanomics and the CEO of U.S. Hybrid.  He’s an award-winning scientist who’s got a big resume and the know-how to back it up. He literally wrote the book on the topic!
