Hi everyone welcome to shift a podcast about mobility I'm Pete Bigelow your

host and reporter at the automotive news.

Coming to you this week from the show floor at CES in Las Vegas,

where I'm still trying to wrap my head around all the transportation technology on display.

It's so much here that in reality I think that would take many

years. This has been both a huge auto show with reveals from Stellantis,

Sony, Honda, BMW, and more, and something well beyond an auto show through the broader

transportation realm.

For one big example of that, if you have not yet checked out the electric boat from Navier, just go ahead and Google that half boat half plane right now.

Speaking of the company, Navier's CEO, Sam Prite Bodacharya, was on a panel that I moderated at

CES on Friday which also contains Panasonic's Andrew Polyak, Blinkcharging CEO

Brendan Jones, and Genevieve Cullen from the Electric Drive Transportation Association.

They had such a diversity and perspectives on the electrification transition that is upon us, that I'm doing something

completely different on the podcast today for this week's episode. We're going to

bring you that handle discussion on the Global EV acceleration.

So without further ado, I'm happy to bring you that panel

direct from Las Vegas.

I love the perspective that you all bring. It's all from very distinct in different areas

of the electrification push.

So maybe with that, the premise of this panel

is that electric vehicles are indeed accelerating

that we're at this inflection point.
