Electric vehicles are the future – and the future is coming fast. By 2030, more than 50% of all new cars sold will be electric - and in that same time frame, the EV market is expected to quadruple to nearly 1 Trillion USD. But what’s most alarming is this: we’re just getting started. So, as the EV revolution goes full swing, can supply keep up with demand? Are there enough raw materials out there for batteries? Will people embrace or resist change? In this episode, we look at all the activity, excitement and trepidation happening in this space, and the role ESG plays in helping keep our moral compass on track.
