Summary

Many of America's biggest automakers are pumping the brakes on their manufacturing of electric vehicles, with Ford being one of the latest to slash production of their F-150 electric pickup. American drivers skeptical of full electric cars are now leaning toward hybrids, which saw their sales rise 65% in 2023. EVs are not just struggling to attract buyers because of their prices; recent extreme weather across the country showed electric cars struggling to perform in the cold. Fox Business correspondent Jeff Flock joins the podcast to discuss why car manufacturers are cutting their EV production, the trends of American car ownership, and revelations about the shortcomings of electric cars.
