We send out a weekly digest to catch you up on all the happenings on the EV Hub. Each week, we send out a summary of the transportation electrification market tailored to our public policy audience. The digest always includes a “spotlight” where we bring to your attention a key topic from the previous week. The digest also includes new content on EV Hub, a summary of media coverage courtesy of Media Pulse, recent news alerts on EV Hub, job openings in transportation electrification, upcoming events from the EV Hub calendar, and special announcements from our partners.
