Electric Vehicle Shock – What’s Really Happening in the Auto Industry?

Electric vehicles (EVs) are not just cars — they’re a story about how transportation, consumer demand, and policy are colliding in real time. In Case File #182: Electric Vehicle Shock of The Crisis Files, host Roshini Rajkumar digs into the shifting road ahead with Scott Lambert, president of the Minnesota Auto Dealers Association.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why automakers are forced into a dramatic reset — and how government policy changes, like the rescinding of the California waiver, have played a key role.

• The real challenges EVs face in rural and cold-weather markets, where adoption hasn’t matched early expectations.

• Why hybrid vehicles are making a comeback, even as electric models get most of the headlines.

• Insight into which companies are navigating these shifts well — and why global competitors like China’s BYD could disrupt domestic strategies.

• Surprising trends in truck buying behavior, and what they mean for the future of driving and vehicle electrification.

Whether you’re an auto enthusiast, a policy watcher, or just curious about how our cars and roads are changing, this episode offers a clear, expert view of today’s automotive ecosystem.
