The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: The Future is Electric (Cars)

Today we're talking about how the auto industry is doubling down on its commitment to developing electric vehicles.

Just since the start of this year, America’s largest automaker, General Motors, promised to stop selling gas-powered cars and trucks by 2035. Volvo, Honda and others have made similar pledges. What does it all mean for you?

He’s president of Avrio Institute and for more than a decade, he was the chief economist for the Consumer Technology Association.
