The Push for Electric Vehicles is On: Are Local Utilities the Weakest Link?

Update: 2021-08-17

Description

Craig's guest is Paul Eisenstein, Publisher of TheDetroitBureau.com. The two discuss recent lengthy power outages for tens of thousands of Metro Detroit residents, and whether or not the uncertainty about the reliability of the local electric grid may impact people's faith in emerging electric vehicle technology. Will the government's push for electric vehicles force utilities to upgrade the existing infrastructure? Also, the two discuss how the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has begun an investigation into EV pioneer Tesla's "Automatic Pilot" systems, which have now been linked to a series of accidents.
