Fellow Climate Warriors, welcome to another episode of Climate Tech Coffee—the shorter, usually sober version of Climate Tech Cocktails.
Join us as we sit down with Founder and CEO of Halo Car, Anand Nandakumar.
Anand shares his journey from India to Las Vegas, and from autonomous vehicles at Uber to launching the first remote pilot EV Halo Car. An affordable, climate-friendly way to get around, Halo Car is transforming the way we think about car ownership. Grab your favorite form of caffeine, and hop on board to hear the exciting future of EVs the Halo Car team is bringing to life.
