Thank you for that question and for reading my article.
This is an “all hands on deck” moment. While in the United States in previous administrations there was no leadership from the federal government so all of the action was at the state and local level, we now have the federal government leading, but it really needs to be in partnership with continued action in the states. States are the laboratory of innovation, and that means both technology and policy. We've seen, for example, that California has the authority to adopt vehicle regulations that will require 100% electric or zero-emission vehicles by 2035. Other states are similarly adopting that policy.
We don't yet have that at the federal level, but that action in California is really driving the electric vehicle industry forward. In addition to the incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act, that's one example.
