Welcome back folks, it’s been a while, and I have missed you. Today we kick back off with a BANG in a new summer season with not one, but three exciting guests, legends in the US EV industry acclaimed as ‘The Godmothers of EV’. 

 

We’ll be hearing stories from Diane Wittenberg, Mary Brazell and Enid Joffe on how they formed a company called Edison EV and collectively helped shape and influence the EV industry from the mid 1990’s onwards. We’ll hear how they impacted the EV industry and captured the attention from legislators and ALL the major EV manufacturers of the time. 

Edison EV, the company that they formed and operated, became the largest EV service provider in the US and put California on the map as the largest EV market in the world.
