The US Environmental Protection Agency has mandated that by 2032, over half of the new cars sold in the US should be electric, including plug-in hybrids. This rule has spurred an influx of hybrid vehicles in the market. This week's discussion focuses on the implications for potential car buyers, explaining the different types of hybrids and electric cars, and providing solutions for those without easy charging access.
WIRED staff writer Aarian Marshall joins the podcast to clarify facts and debunk myths about hybrid vehicles, making listeners well-informed on the subject. Additionally, the episode features personal recommendations from the hosts on various topics, from sports events to literature.
