I started at NPR on the books and arts team, and I

loved working specifically on the poetry coverage at NPR.

Unfortunately, the poetry journalism world is extremely small, so I did have to eventually diversify.

The sheer number of parts that go into a car and each part having its own supply chain, its own network of people who touched it in various ways, going all the way back to the raw material getting pulled out of the earth.

It is improbable at the end of the day that like your car drives, let alone that it has the safety features that it does, that these things work is incredible.

When you talk to car executives about electric vehicles online,

A lot of them maintain this belief that electric vehicles are the future.

And they say that not necessarily for environmental reasons.

That's part of it.

Car companies are making a consumer good.

And electric vehicles are really nice to drive.

They're very smooth.

They're very quiet.

The acceleration is really quick.

They're very low maintenance.

You never have to do an oil change.

If you can charge at home, that's actually way more convenient than going to a gas station.

I love how you're whispering this.

I know, like secret.

There's a lot of things that drivers really like about them.
