Who will decide the future of EV trucking?

Who will decide when EV trucking goes from being an option available to anyone to an enforceable mandate that everyone must comply with?

That question is at the heart of this week’s interview. 

Kelly Barner had the opportunity to speak with Nebraska Attorney General Michael Hilgers. His state is on the front lines of a legal effort to ensure that if regulations end up driving the EV transition, that those regulations are properly established - undertaken by elected officials with a vested interest in the people of Nebraska and the dozens of states who have stepped up to support their challenges. 

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the state of California, and heavy duty truck manufacturers are trying to usher in changes that will have wide-reaching impact. Will that impact be for the better or the worse, and do they have the right to proceed?

Listen in for a highly engaging discussion at the intersection of the law and the supply chain:

• Why it is important to address the proprietary of regulations before they take effect
• Uncertainty caused by the current state of enforceable regulations in California
• The role that competition should play in a market where companies make independent decisions
