About this episode

The episode discusses Hainan's ban on gasoline car sales by 2030 and the implications for drivers and the electric vehicle future.

Hainan just pulled the plug on gasoline cars. By 2030, no new sales, period. For some, it's a bold leap forward. For others, it raises hard questions. What happens to millions of drivers still filling up at the pump? Can an all-electric future really work on the road, with charging, grid strain, and a massive mindset shift all in play?
