Our car spends most of its life parked.  Why, then, do we treat it like it only matters when it’s moving?  On this episode, we sit down with Norman Lu, Senior Program Manager at Toyota North America, to talk about how to turn EV charging from a source of anxiety into a source of value for car owners. 🚗 

Norman joins us to discuss what has changed in battery-electric vehicles over time, why the range is sufficient for most drivers today, and the biggest barriers to EV adoption.  He explains how electric vehicles can act as energy storage systems for the grid and how the battery in a single electric vehicle can provide enough power to keep a home running during an outage.  Additionally, he shares his thoughts on vehicle-to-grid programs and the problems with the electrical grid today. ⚡️ 

Norman also shares his thoughts on wireless EV charging, vehicle-to-grid programs, solar on vehicles, and the importance of connectivity for the cars of the future.  He also shares with us the challenges of innovation within a giant company like Toyota, and his thoughts on the company’s different approaches to electric vehicles. 📶
