While automakers – domestic and foreign – continue to invest billions into the evolution of electric vehicles. For many consumers, EVs are still a subject of curiosity.

The Biden Administration’s massive clean energy push has produced a number of federal incentives for consumers; while Idaho’s investment is more focused on infrastructure, like charging stations.

Meanwhile, Idaho Power has been co-hosting “EV Guest Drives,” in eastern Idaho and, most recently, in Canyon County. That’s where Morning Edition host George Prentice visited with current EV owners, prospective buyers and Idaho Power’s EV experts.

As host of Morning Edition, I'm the luckiest person I've ever known because I spend my days listening to smart, passionate, engaging people. It’s a public trust. I lean in to talk with actors, poets, writers and volunteers who make Idaho that much more special.
