Sharky Laguana, President of the American Car Rental Association (ACRA) a member of the EV Working Group in Washington D.C. and the CEO of Bandago, *explicitly* discusses the challenging transition from ICE to EVs in the car rental industry. I love this conversation so much because Sharky is truly on the front lines of promoting the nationwide shift to EVs, which includes analyzing new battery technologies as well as staying informed about the affordable EVs being manufactured in China (hello, BYD Seagull for under $10k). Press play to hear why Sharky thinks we should confront operational issues head on (like the EV service technician shortage and parts supply challenges) so we can just "rip the band-aid off" once and for all. This is a cannot miss episode for if you're into entertaining AND informative content about the state of EV in the car rental industry!
