Transition can be tough, no matter how willing a company is to succeed. While electric vehicles are the widely-accepted next step in transportation, the sector has faced substantial hurdles. As you’ll see in this edition, there are EV companies that remain cautiously optimistic in their plans, while others openly prepare to face significant headwinds. For some, though, the tumultuous journey has come to an end, at least for now.

The industry isn't all doom, gloom and worry, of course. Solid-state batteries, solar-assisted EVs, and more (like the upcoming Future of Electrification conference) show that the EV era is far from over, these are just growing pains.
