Episode 86: Power Play: EV Sentiment in China vs The U.S. with AlixPartners

The EVs for Everyone Podcast

Arun Kumar, Global Co-Leader of the Advanced Mobility Group at AlixPartners joins me today for a candid discussion about EV sentiment in China vs the United States. In the latest International Electric Vehicle Consumer-Sentiment Survey, AlixPartners found that interest in electric vehicles has surged in China, with 97% of respondents open to purchasing EVs, compared to a lukewarm increase in the U.S. from 14% to 35%. The survey covered 10,000 respondents from nine countries accounting for the majority of global EV sales, which further emphasizes the regional variations in EV adoption. Plus, the recent announcement of heavy U.S. tariffs on Chinese motor vehicles introduces further uncertainty to the already complex EV market dynamics. So what's the deal? Are we stuck in the "ICE Age" over here?
