    34: Polling on Chinese EVs; Partisan Gap Shrinking; New CA Tax Credit with Mike Murphy
    Jan 27 2026

    Veteran political guru and pollster behind EVs for All America, Mike Murphy, joins Max to chat about his scheming with Governor Newsom for a new California EV tax credit that could fit into the state budget. He also shares a new batch of polling we've conducted at EVs for All America, highlighting several interesting demographic shifts for EVs going into 2026; including a shrinking partisan gap (Republicans dislike EVs much less than they used to!). Join the two for a fun chat and a return to form for Directly Current in the New Year. The new season is on!

  • 33: The Multifamily Charging Problem In California with Dan Krassner

    33: The Multifamily Charging Problem In California with Dan Krassner
    Nov 11 2025
    Executive director of EVs for All America, Dan Krassner, joins Max to discuss the work that our team has been doing on local advocacy in California to make installing charging in apartments and multifamily units a lot easier. Californian apartment dwellers make up more than the population of at least 30 US states, and they'd be a huge get for EV ownership if the lower costs and home charging convenience worked out for them. With some polling and research, Dan and Max go over what might work and why the tide's on the side of more charging in apartments.
