This episode, Stu speaks to Chris Paine, the filmmaker who brought us THE EV films that marked a movement -- Who Killed the Electric Car and Revenge of the Electric Car! Chris offers up insider insight on favorite moments in these films along with a lively discussion of his craft. The argument can be made that without these films, and the awareness they brought, the EV movement may only be a shadow of what it is today. Are those two films enough? Will it be a trilogy?

How is charging your car different from pulling up at a gas station? Is anybody taking care of the customer (and customer safety) at those dark out-of-the-way public charging stations? And why is Tesla several times better than everyone else when it comes to the charging experience? In this episode of Driving With Dunne, we get together with two highly respected experts in electric vehicles: Chelsea Sexton and John Voelker. Chelsea has been there for the very beginning of EVs in America. She was deeply involved in America's very first electric vehicle, the EV1. Later she was featured in the Netflix blockbuster documentary named Who Killed the Electric Car? John Voelcker has test driven virtually every EV sold in America. And he knows scores of EV charging stations intimately. Wall Street Journal auto columnist Dan Neil calls John "the inimitable'' expert on EVs and that moniker suits Voelker well. You will learn a lot listening to Chelsea and John. And you are bound to find yourself getting a chuckle from some of their takes on EV realities in 2022. #DrivingWithDunne / #ZozoGo https://twitter.com/Dunne_ZoZoGohttps://www.instagram.com/zo.zo.go/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-dunne-a696901a/

Andrea Learned talks with Chelsea Sexton, who is well known for her EV background, but understands how eBike and EV owners can be bridged for the good of the climate action cause. This conversation is about messaging--how "once you try" either of these electric transportation options, you'll love them (and so be open to seeing bikes as part of your own mix). Chelsea Sexton writes articles and blog posts about electric cars and her views on obtaining mass adoption of the technology by the car industry and drivers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton Sexton was also interviewed in the documentary 'Who Killed the Electric Car?' Sexton entered the automotive industry at the age of 17 after buying her first Saturn. She wanted to put herself through college by working at Saturn, but she ended up finding that she loved the cars more than what she was studying, so when General Motors announced the EV1 electric vehicle program three years later, she jumped on it.[1] Focusing on building a market for alternate-fuel vehicles through partnerships with corporate and non-profit stakeholders, shaping public policy and incentives, developing marketing strategies, and working directly with the drivers themselves, Sexton became well known as an advocate for clean, efficient transportation.

After working as an EV1 leasing agent, Chelsea Sexton became the leader of a group of enthusiasts who tried to save the car. Here, she recounts her topsy-turvy experience, and her accidental role in the documentary “Who Killed The Electric Car?”

In our first episode, lead analyst Bryan Jungers chats with E Source's chief instigation agent, Bill LeBlanc, and electric vehicle (EV) advocate Chelsea Sexton to answer some questions around EV trends. Humorous yet in-depth, this episode is a rich dialogue about the future of EVs, discussing everything from car battery size to EV market penetration.

Electrics were all the rage a few years ago. Nissan, Mitsubishi and Chevrolet, among others, gave consumers their first taste of gas free driving. But as manufacturers improved the performance of their internal combustion engines, electrics almost went into hibernation. But now, suddenly, they are de rigueur once again. Join John McElroy from the floor of the New York Auto Show as he discusses this electric resurrection with Salim Morsy from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, John Voelcker of High Gear Media and EV enthusiast Chelsea Sexton.

In this second episode on electric mobility (19 minutes),  industry expert Chelsea Sexton talks about the fear of a limited range, lessons from Silicon Valley, the politics of electric mobility, low oil prices, the evolution of batteries,  fixing incentives, and the potential bubble in the industry.  @evchels Watch out for the next show with photographer Kevin Break on LA's iconic 6th Street Bridge, scheduled to be released in the coming days.   

In this 19-minute episode, we take a look at some of 2015's best stories, reflections and outtakes. We have (in the following order):  Dave Alvin's first songwriting lesson (at 13 years old) from Big Joe Turner Susan Shillinglaw on why John Steinbeck is still so read today Friends of the LA River's Lewis MacAdams on the river's state in the 1980s and how he became involved in restoring it Chelsea Sexton on electric mobility about how the walkman was the precursor to the smartphone (and how consumers would never have asked for the technology if companies didn't invest in innovation) UC Berkeley's Gray Brechin on how mining technology contributed to the development of San Francisco Architectural critic Alan Hess on Palm Springs as a mecca of the emerging recreational economy.  EPIC's Rob DiPerna on his "best place on earth” UCLA's Ehrhard Bahr on why many of Germany's intellectuals chose Los Angeles over New York during World War II  Architect Donald MacDonald on the "bridge aesthetic" of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges Peter Case reflecting on his early days in San Francisco and his thanking Lawrence Ferlinghetti for his contribution to Case's education UC Berkeley's Richard Walker on the development and use of pesticides on citrus trees in the 1870s Thomas Oesterdiekhoff on composer Harry Partch's early influences which led to Partch's very atypical musical journey Photographer Kim Stringfellow on the alternative history of California's water wars as one drives up the picturesque Highway 395.  This is just a taster of the many eye-opening stories and reflections of the Soul of California's guests over the course of 2015.  Enjoy them and feel free to download the complete interviews. Have a good 2016.

In this first of two episodes (24 minutes), electric mobility expert Chelsea Sexton talks about the state of play in the sector. She gives us a brief background how she became involved through her time as a sales rep for GM and the ill-fated EV1 project, which was the main protagonist in the cult documentary film “Who killed the electric car?”.   Chelsea discusses how she and her cohorts went from pot stirrers with a goal to save the first cars and then embarked on a quixotic journey to make them part of today's mix. That journey has taken them from the consumer's enthusiasm (and anxiety) to some company's full embrace (i.e. Tesla and Nissan) or minimalist compliance-based approach. At the forefront of the electric mobility debate, she argues that the industry is still misjudging the market. The second episode will air just as the North American International Auto Show kicks off in January and will discuss the current déjà vu environment in which she feels the industry finds itself. 

Join Nick Howe, author of Owning Model S, to catch up on the latest Tesla News. Today’s video was shot at TMC Connect (https://www.teslamotorsclub.com/connect/) the annual get together of Tesla Motors Club forum members. This year the event was held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley, and I had the chance to spend some time with Chelsea Sexton a leading electric vehicle advocate and star of the movie “Who killed the Electric Car" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsJAlrYjGz8)

This week, Chelsea and Michelle are joined by a real GM insider. We ask him about the idea of a $25,000 luxury car and he explains the Buick brand's position on the eAssist technology and what that means for consumer education. We also ask about what GM knows about marketing fuel efficiency versus selling hybrids and if the buying public cares as much about what powers a car as the enthusiasts do. Questions from callers include everything from praise for Buick to category comparisons to pleas for the return of the El Camino. We also discuss what will be next for Buick. Nick Richards is the Buick Communications Group Manager and has previously been at PowerTrain, OnStar, Hummer and Volt. Michelle Naranjo, editor of Autobytel.com is live in studio in Detroit while Chelsea Sexton of chelseasexton.com holds down the fort in California.

This week, we chat with special guest Chelsea Sexton. We talk about electric cars, the state of the industry, and and the two documentaries Chelsea has been in.

Everyone’s favorite automotive call-in show returns to the airwaves of the Internet with host Michelle Naranjo back at the helm. But — we’re making some improvements to the show, see what surprises we have in store!
