WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, the Zero Emission Transportation Association (ZETA) Education Fund launched a new webinar series to expand its public education efforts on the benefits and opportunities of widespread electric vehicle (EV) adoption. Titled the “Over-The-Air Update,” the series features regular 30-minute conversations with industry experts who explore timely topics and address common questions about EVs, batteries, and the supply chain.
The first webinar in the series is titled “Vehicle Economics: Trends, Costs, and Change” and will feature a conversation between Edmunds’ Head of Insights, Jessica Caldwell, and ZETA’s Research Director, Corey Cantor. The conversation will feature a data-driven discussion on how vehicle economics have changed in recent years and what those shifts mean for the future of the industry. Drawing on the latest industry data, the conversation will explore the forces influencing vehicle costs, including market dynamics, technology transitions, and growing global competition.
The webinar will take place on Thursday, January 22 at 2:00 PM ET. Registration for this webinar is available here.
“The Over-The-Air Update series provides us with the opportunity to host conversations with experts from across the EV and battery ecosystem, and answer key questions that policymakers and the general public have about this advanced technology,” said Corey Cantor, Research Director at ZETA. “With a quarter of global new vehicle sales featuring electric drivetrains, it is more important than ever to discuss this industry and where it will go next.”
Previous webinars from the ZETA Education Fund have featured experts including: Ambassador Jayme White, Senior International Trade Advisor, and Josh Kagan, Special Counsel, at Kelley Drye & Warren LLP for a conversation on trade policy; Stephanie Valdez Streaty, Director of Industry Insights at Cox Automotive for a conversation on Q3 2024 sales data; and Dr. Andy Leach, Senior Associate, Energy Storage at BloombergNEF for a conversation on battery recycling.
