On the latest episode of the Conduit Street Podcast, Kevin Kinnally and Dominic Butchko discuss barriers to the widespread adoption of election vehicles. The need to address the global climate crisis has rallied policymakers to adopt aggressive measures to encourage manufacturers and consumers to embrace electric vehicle (EV) technology. But, many challenges remain.In addition to concerns about electric grid capacity and inadequate charging infrastructure, questions about affordability and infrastructure are two of the most significant barriers to getting more drivers to switch to EVs. With the average cost of a new EV hovering around $60,000, many motorists are priced out of the market. And the potential for EVs to upend traditional transportation funding models while at the same time contributing significantly more strain on roads remains a vexing issue.The Conduit Street Podcast is available on major platforms like Spotify, Apple, Google, and anywhere else you get your podcasts.
