New member David Ferris writes for Politico about how Georgians perceive electric vehicles, which are bringing manufacturing jobs to the state but have an image that’s heavily shaped by partisan political views. Once some of the most insatiable buyers of EVs in the U.S., Georgians’ purchases of the vehicles have now plummeted, even as the state has become the home of the most EV-related jobs in the country. Ferris delves into the complex interplay of local, state, and national policies and politics that are driving these contradictory trends and what it all means for individual Georgians, their communities, and perhaps the upcoming election.
