Description
The push toward electric vehicles in the United States and European
Union is actually creating a giant strategic opportunity for China,
whose carmakers already dominate global markets for batteries and clean
energy technology. And the threat of Beijing taking over the electric
vehicle industry across the two continents is shaping debates about
jobs, trade and the fight against climate change. E&E News reporter
David Ferris breaks down how the US and Europe are responding in
different ways to the China EV threat. Plus, EPA is opening up $7
billion in funding from the Inflation Reduction Act to states, cities
and nonprofit groups to grow residential and community solar projects.
David Ferris covers the intersection of transportation and the electric
grid for POLITICO’s E&E News.
Josh Siegel is a congressional energy reporter for POLITICO.
Nirmal Mulaikal is a POLITICO audio host-producer.
Alex Keeney is a senior audio producer at POLITICO.
