The Race to Electric Cars
A Beyond the Hedlines Event
With Electric Vehicles getting a lot of press, it can be difficult to not get the feeling that this new mode of fueling our transportation is inevitable - traditional auto manufacturers and states are phasing out fossil fueled vehicles and doing so with aggressive timelines. Cadillac will no longer sell gasoline cars after 2030 and California will ban the sale of new cars with tail pipe emissions by 2035. Can Electric Vehicles be a great driving experience? What is the current EV landscape? Will they save the planet? What will be the impacts on our electric grid? Mr. Mike Smith, Vice President of business and technology strategy for The Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina and registered professional engineer of South Carolina, will be giving his expert opinion on the subject.
