Summary

EVs for All America founder Mike Murphy just went cross-country, 3,000 miles with zero gas and plenty of American factory tours in his brand new Porsche Cayenne Electric. Max and Mike catch up to see how the journey went, unpack how easy and fast charging has become, and the highs and lows of seeing free world auto investment in a landscape of turbulent US policy contrasted by clear global progress in electrification. Some highlights of the journey and their conversation: - A drone mishap at a windy Bucc-ees station in Texas - A missed highway exit for a critical cahrging stop and an opportune turnout that let Mike roast some fancy tires on gravel - Mike's stops at from Tesla, Honda, Francis Energy, LG Energy that tell a story of American investment - The duo's recommendations on the best non-Porsche road tripping EVs to buy for the rest of us 🎙️ Listen on Apple, Spotify, or your favorite podcast platform Resources and Links: Watch the full series Read Mike's Substack writeup on the journey ⚡ Stay Plugged In Support EVs for All America (and buy our merch!)
