When you think about who is most influential in the EV industry, Elon Musk likely comes to mind but not many other people.  We looked a dozens of engineers, CEO’s and even a few politicians when coming up with our list of the top ten most important people in EV’s for 2021.

Here is the video of the Top 10 Most Influential People in Electric Vehicles today:

After careful consideration names like Steve Girsky from Nikola fell out of the top 10.  We looked at people from Faraday Future, Byton, Lordstown and even China’s Kandi.  All of these people do have an important role to play but we believe the 10 people below are the ones the electric vehicle industry are watching.
