MichAuto Executive Director Glenn Stevens Jr. joined WPHM to discuss highlights from the Mackinac Policy Conference, the automotive industry’s navigation of tariffs, and the shift in EV demand and its implications. Stevens addressed the impact of Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan’s keynote speech and the tone he set for Michigan’s future. Regarding the tariffs, the industry is evaluating how to absorb or pass on the associated costs. Despite the anticipated slower demand for EVs, global adoption of EVs is expected to continue, and both the U.S. and Michigan must play key leadership roles in this transition.
