Carpe Diem: Can the U.S. Seize the Day in EV Manufacturing?

Electrification is transforming the automotive industry: traditional automakers are retooling their factories and supply chains to build electric vehicles (EVs), while startups are taking EV production to new states like California, Nevada, and Arizona. Opportunity abounds for new companies, new workers, and new locations to get into the game. But what policies are needed to make sure this transition to EVs is a success for both businesses and workers? In this webinar, recorded live on September 30, 2021, U.S. Representative Donald McEachin and a panel of industry and labor experts weighed in on the prospects for U.S. dominance of the global EV market.
