What the Current U.S. Political Climate Means for EV Growth and Global Expansion: TWC Episode 219
By Phil Royle — April 17, 2025
Forgive us — this week’s podcast was recorded before Trump changed the tariff situation again. Despite that, what we cover on this episode is very applicable because tariffs still exist, Elon Musk is still controversial, and political decisions that are currently being made might slow the roll for other EV manufacturers as they look toward their own global expansion.
