Interview: Steve Man of Bloomberg Intelligence on U.S. EV Survey

Interview: Steve Man of Bloomberg Intelligence on U.S. EV Survey
Electric Vehicles continue to pick up major traction in the US, with adoption continuing to accelerate even amidst growing challenges with charging infrastructure and overall affordability. A new survey from Bloomberg Intelligence found that despite these hurdles to growth, US battery electric vehicles (BEV) penetration is likely to reach 25% by the end of the decade. We talk to Steve Man, Global Lead Director for Auto & Industrial Market Research at Bloomberg Intelligence and the lead author of this report. He spoke to use from Princeton, NJ where he just bought his first EV, a Chevy Blazer EV. Applogies for the audio issues, it was a day when nothing was going right. The survey, conducted with 1,000 prospective auto purchasers, found that 42% of respondents were considering purchasing an electrified vehicle as their next car, with 23% opting for hybrid electric vehicles, in contrast to the current 7% penetration in hybrid electric vehicles. 9% of those surveyed favoring battery EVs, which is higher than the 7% battery EVs penetration last year. BI’s research shows that prospective auto purchasers who already own an electrified vehicle are incredibly loyal to BEVs, with the report finding that 93% would stick with their current powertrain for their next purchase, compared to 34% of gasoline vehicle owners who are deciding to opt for an electric car. Fuel-type stickiness suggests that EV penetration is unlikely to reverse course as the benefits to an electric vehicle could continue to outweigh costs to current owners; and this continuous preference for EVs is consistent across HEV, PHEV, and BEV owner segments.

The Oil Refinery Down the Street
A new book uncovers terrifying environmental misdeeds by a refinery located within the city limits of Regina, Canada, just one mile from the co-host of this podcast. Governments thankful for the positive economic impacts turned their backs on the health of their citizens. The USA’s largest public power utility has announced plans to retire what was once the nation's biggest coal power plant. If you order Uber Eats in Phoenix, Arizona it may be delivered by an autonomous vehicle. The CEO of the automotive group Stellantis says EVs can’t be environmental until batteries weigh half as much. He’s dead wrong and we’ll outline why. Plus UFOs over the podcast headquarters? A listener asks if we saw anything.

The Future for Fossil Fuel Workers" Published by Fernwood Publishing Book link: https://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/unjust-transition Investigative journalist Patricia Elliot pens the chapter on the environmental problems with the Federated Cooperative Refinery Complex in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The facts are horrific and everyone in the city is subjected to neurotoxins and VOCs. Government turns a blind eye in favour of the economic benefits. Very few safeguards are in place. The complex's environmental record is abysmal. At least the parts that we know about. Some important information is kept from the public. Living near refineries like the CRC poses significant health risks due to exposure to over fifty recognized harmful substances, including toxic gases and heavy metals.

Entire Canadian City Plagued by Health Risks from Oil Refinery
James investigates an air quality advisory and discovers Oil is to blame. His entire city of Regina, Saskatchewan is within the cancer zone of the oil refinery. Apple kills its electric car program. Alberta shoots itself in the foot by discouraging vast investment in renewable energy in favor of dirty energy. A small city saves big money on electric police vehicles. Taking down Tesla's automation advancements. A nuclear reactor will put almost all its juice into a data center. Cooktops with their own batteries. How do you charge an EV in a small town or on a farm? (you plug it in) Battery advancements will disrupt yard equipment even further down the road. Alberta's punitive EV tax Ford's Tesla access is 'plug and charge' and that's a great thing! Saskatchewan premier breaks the law. Is a lawless Purge on the horizon? Air Quality Statement for Regina, Sask in the middle of winter reminds us that the entire city is at an increased risk of certain cancers. Who Killed the Apple Electric Car? Bridgewater, Nova Scotia police highlight their EV savings for the small city. Alberta's new restrictions on clean energy.
