The Road to Electrification: Challenges and Opportunities for the Domestic Auto Industry
Monday, Sep 15, 2025, 12:00 pm - 1:15 pm
Harvard Kennedy School, Rubenstein 414AB79 John F. Kennedy St.
Cambridge
The U.S. auto industry faces big roadblocks and opportunities: forecasting consumer demand, Chinese competition and subsidized oversupply, infrastructure hurdles, supply chain vulnerabilities, and a changing policy landscape. In this Energy Policy Seminar, Christopher Smith, Ford's Chief Government Affairs Officer, will explore the policy choices the United States can make to strengthen its domestic auto industry - as well as the policies that would hobble it. This event is part of Harvard Climate Action Week 2025.
