Join our live stream: The hype, reality and future of electric vehicles

Such as electric vehicles As the trend shifts, buyers are faced with a variety of choices, and Tesla – once untouchable – is no longer the dominant force. Last year was a difficult year for Elon Musk’s car brand, as sales efforts faltered, and the company lost its title as the world’s largest electric car maker to China’s BYD.

Today, it feels like all the automakers – including luxury brands – are racing to launch their own electric cars. But at the same time, some companies are scaling back production plans. So where is the market headed? Will the United States build electric vehicle charging infrastructure fast enough? Will gas-powered vehicles soon become obsolete? Will an American company dominate the electric car market again? What policies might shape what comes next?

Join WIRED’s next live stream to discuss these issues and more.
