“Shift” podcast host Molly Boigon talks to the Zero Emission Transportation Association’s Albert Gore about how the Trump administration’s actions on fuel economy and emissions standards may impact battery and other technology investment in the U.S. Larry P. Vellequette, who covers Toyota, Subaru and Mazda for Automotive News, also joins Boigon to talk about how gas guzzlers are driving up new-vehicle inventories while consumers shop for more fuel-efficient vehicles. His reporting suggests that the war in Iran is hitting the dealer lot.
