Listen now (46 min) | When she was an engineering student at MIT, Kristin Slanina led her team to victory in a solar car race through five states in America's northeast. That early achievement inspired Kristin, decades later, to launch Charge Across America, a contest featuring teams driving from New York to Los Angeles in five different electric cars. The main purpose of the competition was to assess the readiness of America's charging networks. How reliable, how fast, how convenient? In this episode Kristin recounts the highs and lows of the cross-country drive. And she also gives a grade to American's EV charging networks as they stand today. And what American can be doing to speed the pace of change to cleaner, greener, cheaper energy.
