Bike talk - Ebikes and EVs

Bike Talk

Andrea Learned talks with Chelsea Sexton, who is well known for her EV background, but understands how eBike and EV owners can be bridged for the good of the climate action cause. This conversation is about messaging--how "once you try" either of these electric transportation options, you'll love them (and so be open to seeing bikes as part of your own mix). Chelsea Sexton writes articles and blog posts about electric cars and her views on obtaining mass adoption of the technology by the car industry and drivers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton Sexton was also interviewed in the documentary 'Who Killed the Electric Car?' Sexton entered the automotive industry at the age of 17 after buying her first Saturn. She wanted to put herself through college by working at Saturn, but she ended up finding that she loved the cars more than what she was studying, so when General Motors announced the EV1 electric vehicle program three years later, she jumped on it.[1] Focusing on building a market for alternate-fuel vehicles through partnerships with corporate and non-profit stakeholders, shaping public policy and incentives, developing marketing strategies, and working directly with the drivers themselves, Sexton became well known as an advocate for clean, efficient transportation.
