*Steve Harvey voice* -> “survey says!” Molly Boigon, Tech and Innovation Reporter at Automotive News is back on the show today to talk about the 2024 Mobility Consumer Index (MCI) from EY which finds that 34% of U.S. consumers planning to buy a car in the next two years are considering an EV which is down from 48% a year ago. While it’s true that early adopters have paved the way for EV consideration, now its all about helping a new wave of buyers understand the long term benefits of going electric. Don’t miss this candid conversation with Molly and I because this EY survey definitely has some…spice. I’m talking 3-5 business days worth of spice! ??Apple: https://lnkd.in/eP6qXvha ??

I understand if I’m not invited to speak in North Dakota anytime soon… Ryan Else, Corporate Fixed Operations Director at Eide Automotive Group in North Dakota, joins the show today to talk about the role of service and collision in the EV space (imagine that!) Although North Dakota has one of the lowest rates of EV adoption in the country, Ryan openly discusses his expectations for the future of fixed operations involving electric drivetrains. In the land of F-150s, RAMs (and some hybrids), Ryan gives us all a much needed reality check. Yeah, I said it! ?? Apple: https://lnkd.in/e3e3Xr94 ?? Spotify: https://lnkd.in/efhugdPM ??

For any startup operating in the EV sector… Stefon Crawford, Partner at GM Ventures and Jimmy Douglas, Founder and CEO at Plug are on the show today to talk *all things* autotech investing. ?????? GM Ventures invests in early-stage companies, with a flexible approach to stage, check size ($2-10 million), and strategic alignment.

People don’t *actually* understand… …that despite EVs being well-suited to the UK's relatively short average travel distances, range anxiety (and an intense resistance to change!) keep some buyers hesitant. ???? ???? Luckily, I had the good fortune of interviewing Nick King, Insight Director at Auto Trader UK and Scott Case, CEO of Recurrent to discuss the UK / US electric vehicle landscape. ???? Also, listen to the end of the episode to hear a clip of Nick's chart topping single, "Rosemary" played by his former band in the 90's, Great Northern Electrics! Are you gonna tune in? ??
