93: David A. Kirsch: Inside the Future of Electric and Hydrogen Cars
January 17, 2023
Matt Matern and Dr. David Kirsch discuss the history and future of electric vehicles (EVs). Initially, EVs lost to gasoline cars due to consumer preferences, technological challenges, and better infrastructure for gasoline. Renewed interest in EVs during the 1960s-70s faced additional technological and political hurdles.
Today, EVs are mainstream, with Norway leading the way and the U.S. making progress. Dr. Kirsch emphasizes the need for improved infrastructure, the potential of hydrogen technology, and policies that favor efficient EVs. Transitioning to clean transportation will require collaborative efforts.
