The Biden Administration has been working hard with the Big Three
automakers — Ford, GM and Stellantis — to vastly expand the production
of electric vehicles, even as it gave a cold shoulder to Tesla. But the
UAW’s latest strike may force it to rethink that strategy. POLITICO’s
James Bikales explains how this strike may force the White House to
build some bridges with Tesla to keep its EV goals on track. Plus, the
European Commission announced that it will promote hydrogen standards to
bolster worldwide adoption of the energy tech.
