Politics may make Rivian’s profitability pathway harder
EV pure play’s ambitions have dependencies that may change under a Republican regime
Those that drive the most miles may be the most reluctant to go electric, yet they represent the biggest decarbonisation prize
EV inFocus spoke to US non-profit Coltura and UK-based research firm New Automotive about the need for EV policies to target switching among so-called 'gasoline superusers' — the small proportion of ICE vehicle drivers who make up an outsized share of total miles driven, in order to maximise climate impact.
Our speakers were:
Matthew Metz & Janelle London, Co-executive directors at Coltura
David Farrar, Research and policy manager at New Automotive
Peter Ramsay, Editor-in-chief at EV inFocus.
The questions discussed included:
1) How big is this problem?
2) What opportunities does this create for the EV revolution?
3) What can governments, policy makers and businesses do to seize this moment?
