このコンテンツについて

 Founded in 2021, the Georgia Network for Electric Mobility (GNEM) is a pan-university initiative housed at the University of Georgia focused on electric mobility and transportation innovation, research, and economic development.

GNEM envisions the South as a world leading ecosystem for future mobility innovation. The network operates as a think tank and multidisciplinary consortium, providing thought leadership at the bleeding edge of future mobility innovation and bringing together industry, academia, government and communities to aid workforce development, economic development and research.

The Battery Belt Podcast explores the people, industries, and ideas powering the clean energy transition across the South. Each episode dives into how manufacturing, innovation, and community are coming together to shape America’s new industrial landscape — from battery plants and research labs to local economies and creative collaborations.Copyright GNEM Electric Mobility 政治・政府

    Episode 2: The New Frontier with Alex Poirot
    2025/12/11
    Welcome to Episode 2 of The Battery Belt, the official podcast of the Georgia Network for Electric Mobility (GNEM). This week, we’re joined by Alex Poirot, Head of External Affairs at Beep Inc., a proud UGA graduate, and former senior policy leader in the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Department of Transportation.

    As electrification converges with AI and autonomous systems, the mobility industry’s center of gravity is shifting—beyond batteries and drivetrains and toward software, autonomy, and integrated AI platforms. That shift is accelerating across the Southeast, where the Battery Belt is rapidly becoming a national hub for next-generation mobility innovation.

    In this episode, Alex shares how Beep is leading the deployment of autonomous electric shuttles and what real-world operations tell us about safety, public trust, workforce evolution, and the future of public transit. We also explore how AI-enabled mobility is reshaping infrastructure and regulation—and what that means for Georgia’s growing electric mobility ecosystem.

    Listeners will learn about:
    • Why the Battery Belt is emerging as a testbed for autonomous mobility
    • How AI and autonomy are redefining EV systems and public transit
    • The policy changes needed to support safe and scalable AV deployment
    • The intersection of EV and AV infrastructure in next-gen mobility

    Timely, forward-looking, and grounded in on-the-ground experience, Episode 2 is essential listening for anyone interested in the future of transportation, policy, and the Southeast’s leadership in mobility innovation.

    Episode 1: The Battery Belt Explained with Mike Oatridge
    2025/12/04
    Welcome to the debut episode of The Battery Belt, the official podcast of the Georgia Network for Electric Mobility (GNEM). On the very first episode of The Battery Belt, we welcome Mike Oatridge, Executive Director of the Alabama Mobility & Power (AMP) Center at the University of Alabama.

    In this episode, Mike shares firsthand insights from decades of experience across automotive and advanced manufacturing, offering a grounded look at how the region is evolving—fast. We discuss the rapid rise of EV and battery manufacturing in the Southeast, the $78 billion in investments transforming local economies, and how states like Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi are positioning themselves at the center of the nation’s mobility future.

    Listeners will learn about:
    • The origins and momentum behind the Battery Belt
    • How public-private partnerships are driving research and innovation across the MAGNET tri-state region
    • The workforce and community opportunities emerging from record-breaking clean energy investments
    • What industry leaders see coming next in EVs, batteries, and smart mobility

    More than a technology story, this conversation reveals the people, places, and partnerships powering a generational shift in transportation and economic development.

    Recorded live during a GNEM-hosted webinar and refined for podcast platforms, Episode 1 sets the tone for a series dedicated to the leaders, researchers, and innovators shaping the future of mobility across the Southeast.

    Whether you work in industry, policy, research, or are simply curious about what’s coming next, this episode offers a compelling introduction to the Battery Belt story—and why it matters now.
