Appalachia Meets World Episode 87 - Rural Reimagined ”Electrifying” Appalachia with Dr. Pingen Chen

In this episode Neil and Will sit down with automotive researcher Dr. Pengen Chen to discuss building an EV ecosystem for Appalachia.  As lead investigator for the initiative "Rural Reimagined", Dr. Chen is focusing on doing just that.  Take a listen to find out the specifics of the initiative and the future for electric vehicles in the region.  If you live in Appalachia and ever wanted to find out more about electric vehicles - now is your chance!  You might even hear Neil give a run down (or lack thereof) of the Golden Globes - or at least his pick to win (almost a week too late).  Also, don't forget about the #AppBiz of the week: The Landmark Project!
