More candid talk on EVs please
While commercial electric vehicles continue to be the darlings of trade shows, experts are getting more vocal about taking the necessary steps to ensure their success and yours.

Here's to hoping that they've clearly thought through range, charging infrastructure and battery lifecycle management.
