While EV global sales continue to surge, the uptick in the US lags significantly behind that of our European counterparts. And while obstacles such as a lack of charging infrastructure, high up-front costs, and battery range are affecting market share - those same issues are also at play in Europe. So what are they doing right that is helping that continent achieve over 20% market share of EVs?
In this episode, Paul dissects four areas where Europe's approach to EVs has been a bit different than that of the US in the hope that we can learn from our friends overseas.
