In this episode of The Urban EV Podcast, host Rob Hoffman sits down with Ben Prochazka, Executive Director of the Electrification Coalition, for a wide-ranging conversation on the future of electric mobility. Ben shares what’s really driving the EV transition, from federal policy to local action, and why getting the right funding and incentives in place is so critical.
Ben digs into the wins and roadblocks facing the industry today, including what recent legislation means for fleets, cities, and long-haul trucking. Along the way, he clears up some common EV myths and explains why the shift to electrification is about a lot more than just cleaner cars, it’s about reshaping the way we move.
