The state of electric vehicles in North Carolina

The number of electric vehicles on the road keeps increasing every year. But challenges remain.

This week, Tesla recalled two million vehicles following a years-long probe into faulty autopilot safety controls. Changes are coming to the significant financial incentives available to buyers. Building the infrastructure to support these vehicles is slow-going. And North Carolina continues to be a growing player in electric vehicle battery production.

Due South co-host Jeff Tiberii discusses those topics and the growth of EVs with two people who follow the industry closely.
