Hello and welcome back to Market Moves Electric Vehicles, Endeavor Business Media's monthly look at everything EVs. In this issue we delve into how various entities are handling the shift to EVs in everything from retraining tire and repair shop employees to microgrids powering electric tugboats. Electrification isn't just coming, it's here, as you'll read in our Vehicle Service Pros and Supply Chain Connect pieces. More and more consumers are choosing to go electric and hybrid, but as IndustryWeek columnist Warren Browne will explain, the continuation of ICE vehicles will be a critical part of the transition.
