Ideas Worth Sharing:
- "Right now, the major challenges with EVs seem less related to engineering and are instead now more about perception, more emotional, more political and more timing based." - Cory Hewett
- "We're firm believers that within any transition, energy, transportation or otherwise, there are going to be winners and losers. There are going to be those who embrace the change and there will be those who resist it." - Dan Roberts
- "I owe my success to having listened to the best advice and gone away to do the exact opposite. I don't have the answers. If you listen to this episode and you're like, 'Oh, I'll do what he did'...you're screwed. I want to have as little advice as possible, but I'm happy to share my experience of trying, doing, failing, and occasionally being met with some success." - Cory Hewett
