GUESTS: Chris Borroni-Bird, Afreecar; Prodip Chatterjee, Nunam; Sukhjeevan Uppal, eTukTuk
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Mobility for all means just that - it shouldn't be available only to those fortunate enough to be free of the physical or financial impairments that might prevent access to mobility. Yet one billion people - an eighth of the world's population - survive on less than $2/day. They desperately need electric power - and affordable personal mobility.
