We follow up on the state of electric vehicles in California. Plus, how the arrival of the lithium industry in Imperial County could affect local communities — and how environmental advocates are responding.

S1: It's time for Midday Edition on KPBS. I'm Andrew Bracken in for Jade Heinemann. Changes could be coming for electric vehicles in the new year. On the show today , we take a look into the state of EVs and more. It's Midday Edition with conversations that keep you informed , inspired and make you think.

S1: So obviously a lot of questions there as the Trump administration sees sees what they implement or not when he takes office early next year. When we last spoke earlier this year , you talked about this idea of range anxiety and the role it has had on , you know , people deciding whether or not to go with an EV. Do you get a sense that concern is abating at all ? And if not , you know what needs to happen for that to not be such a concern for folks.

S1: I've been speaking with Jay Kim , associate professor and chair of industrial and systems engineering at the University of San Diego. Professor Kim , thanks so much for your insight today.S1: Coming up , we hear about a new book looking into the lithium industry and how it could shape the Imperial Valley.

S3: One of the things we talk about in the book is how it is that Imperial Valley has been a place of schemes , scams and scoundrels.

S3: You know , it's also a big lesson that while we think of going green as going small , going local , in fact , going green to deal with our climate crisis means that we need to go big. We need to have a gigantic shift in our industry toward electric vehicles. We need to have a gigantic shift in the way that we live toward more compact living. So we got to think big. That means big investments and big projects.

S5: So we're proud to be part of a new coalition called Valley United for Community Benefits. And this is in solidarity with local environmental justice organizations Imperial Valley Equity and Justice Coalition commentators , as well as allies in the labor movement , United Auto Workers and Jobs to Move America. And we formed this coalition to make sure that the lithium companies in Imperial County follow through on their promises.
