History of Electric Vehicles and Regulatory Hurdles
The conversation shifts to the historical dominance of electric vehicles, which made up 70% of US motor vehicles until the 1912 invention of the electric starter by Westinghouse Bendix. This invention made gas-powered cars more accessible to women and increased their range. Agnew describes modern regulatory challenges, claiming the NHTSA and EPA have historically stifled innovation in the electric vehicle industry.
