In this episode, Zack returns to the mic to unpack two major developments shaking up the future of electric vehicles in the U.S.—the EPA’s proposal to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding, and newly announced tariffs that include foreign EVs and components.

We explore:

• What the Endangerment Finding is, and why its potential repeal matters
• The public health consequences of weakening emissions policy
• Why new EV tariffs may hurt both consumers and automakers
• How these decisions could limit competition, raise prices, and stall EV adoption
• Why, despite all of this, there’s still reason to remain hopeful about the EV future

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who cares about clean air, affordable EVs, and the policies shaping our transportation system.

Resources & References:

• EPA press release on rescinding the Endangerment Finding
• Ford CEO Jim Farley on EV tariffs and cost impact (Bloomberg)
• American Lung Association data on vehicle emissions and public health
• Harvard School of Public Health studies on air quality and community health impacts
