This podcast episode explores the reasons why the South has become an attractive location for electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing. The South offers cheaper labor costs, a lack of unions, and generous government incentives, making it appealing for foreign automakers to build EV plants. Additionally, the South has developed a strong supply chain and infrastructure for EV production. However, there are concerns about the impact of EVs on traditional auto factories and workers, and efforts to unionize in the South face challenges due to the region's anti-union history.
