President Biden celebrated the move by an Australian electric vehicle charging company to build its first factory on

U.S. soil. Joining us now to talk more about this, secretary transportation, Pete Buttigieg. So is this the

opening the door to more secretary-of-peat? We think so. We're really encouraged to see not only more and more manufacturing of electric vehicles here in the U.S.

But also of the chargers that you're going to use to fill them up. You know when we talk about

U.S. auto and auto-related manufacturing has not just been nostalgia for the old days. It's about getting into the future.

Hello and thank you for joining us for Pantsy Politics where we try to take a different approach to the news. One way we take that different approach is by prioritizing curiosity. Every month or so we like to focus on a specific topic and break down some things that we think everyone should know about it.

But perhaps none of us have had time to look into. Today by very popular demand we are sharing five things you need to know about electric vehicles.

Before we get started we've been talking a lot about our upcoming book and how much it means to us for you to pre-order it.

There's a link to do that in the show notes of this episode and another great way to get the book. A hot little hands before it actually comes out

is to come join us in Waco for our live show in April 30th. It's going to be so fun. We're going to be with HTTV and Magnolia Network star Clint Harp.

So if you haven't bought your tickets to Waco already make sure and follow the link in the show notes and do that today.

The VIP experience is already sold out I'm sad to say but we're going to have a lot of fun in that but you can still get seats for the show and have come live all your Magnolia dreams in Waco with us on April 30th. We are less than a month out.

So you want to lock down your tickets while you can.
