In today's episode, Robert is joined by Sandy Munro, a leading figure in engineering and a passionate advocate for battery electric vehicles. Together, they delve into the growing shortage of tradespeople, toolmakers, and engineers, and why attracting fresh talent into these critical fields is more urgent than ever.

The conversation covers a wide range of topics, from Telo's innovative compact electric truck to Redwood's work in battery recycling and creating a circular supply chain. They also unpack common misconceptions about EV costs and clean energy, while exploring how businesses can make the transition to more sustainable power sources. To round out the discussion, Robert and Sandy take a step back to examine the state of the EV market as a whole, and the outdated regulations that continue to slow down meaningful progress.
