Founded between 2022 and 2024, 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 Georgia and the Southeast Battery Belt 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 4: State of the EV Market w/ Stephanie Valdez Streaty and Jonathan Smoke - PART 2
    2026/08/11
    Welcome to Episode 4 (Season 2) of The Battery Belt, the official podcast of the Georgia Network for Electric Mobility (GNEM). This episode continues our conversation with Jonathan Smoke, Chief Strategy Officer at Cox Automotive, and Stephanie Valdez Streaty, Director of Industry Insights at Cox Automotive.

    In Part 1, Jonathan and Stephanie helped cut through the headlines surrounding the EV market, examining what the data actually tells us about the state of EV adoption and why slowing growth may be better understood as market normalization.

    In Part 2, we turn our attention to the factors that will determine what comes next. This episode explores the growing importance of hybrids and the used EV market, the role of affordability and charging reliability in consumer confidence, and what it will take for electric vehicles to reach the next wave of mainstream buyers.

    We also look at product market fit and the complex mix of price sensitivity, vehicle preferences, and infrastructure trust shaping consumer decisions in 2026.

    Listeners will learn about:
    • How the rise of hybrids is changing the broader U.S. automotive market
    • Why the used EV market could be critical to the next wave of adoption
    • How pricing, battery transparency, warranties, and charging reliability influence consumer confidence
    • The role affordability and infrastructure play in EV purchasing decisions
    • How the U.S. automotive industry can position itself as EV growth normalizes

    More than a conversation about sales numbers, Part 2 examines the real-world factors that will shape the next phase of EV adoption and what today's changing market can tell us about the future of transportation.

    Whether you work in industry, policy, research, or are simply interested in the future of mobility, this episode offers a data-driven look at the challenges and opportunities that will define the U.S. EV market in the years ahead.

    Episode 3: State of the EV Market w/ Stephanie Valdez Streaty and Jonathan Smoke - PART 1
    2026/08/05
    Welcome to Episode 3 (Season 2) of The Battery Belt, the official podcast of the Georgia Network for Electric Mobility (GNEM). In this episode, we welcome Jonathan Smoke, Chief Strategy Officer at Cox Automotive, and Stephanie Valdez Streaty, Director of Industry Insights at Cox Automotive.

    As headlines continue to send mixed signals about the future of electric vehicles, Jonathan and Stephanie cut through the noise with one of the industry's richest automotive datasets. Together, we explore what the numbers actually reveal about the U.S. EV market, why today's slowdown is better understood as market normalization, and what this transition means for manufacturers, infrastructure investment, and the future of the Battery Belt.

    Listeners will learn about:

    • The data points that tell a more complete story than today's EV headlines
    • Why the current market represents normalization rather than decline
    • What a healthy EV market could look like in 2026
    • How industry leaders are interpreting today's market shifts to prepare for the next decade
    • The evolving roles of Jonathan Smoke and Stephanie Valdez Streaty in helping shape the future of the automotive industry

    More than a conversation about electric vehicles, this episode provides a data-driven look at one of the most significant industrial transitions in modern history and the factors driving the next phase of growth across the Southeast.

    Whether you work in industry, policy, research, or are simply interested in the future of transportation, this episode offers valuable insights into where the EV market stands today and where it may be headed next.

  • Episode 2: Battery Energy Storage (PART 2) with William Mustain

    Episode 2: Battery Energy Storage (PART 2) with William Mustain
    2026/07/28
    Welcome back to Season 2 of The Battery Belt, the official podcast of the Georgia Network for Electric Mobility (GNEM). Today we continue our conversation with Professor William Mustain, Director of the Carolina Institute for Battery Innovation at the University of South Carolina.

    In this episode, Professor Mustain explores one of the biggest shifts happening across the battery industry today. As EV demand begins to normalize and electricity demand accelerates from data centers, industrial electrification, and grid expansion, we examine whether battery energy storage is emerging as the next major driver of growth.

    Together, we discuss how this transition could reshape manufacturing strategies, research priorities, and the future of the Battery Belt.

    Listeners will learn about:
    • Why battery demand is expanding beyond electric vehicles
    • How stationary energy storage is changing the way utilities plan for the electric grid
    • The role of battery chemistry, critical minerals, and manufacturing strategy in meeting future demand
    • How universities and industry are working together to advance research, innovation, and workforce development across the Southeast


    More than a conversation about batteries, this episode explores how energy storage is becoming a critical piece of the nation's infrastructure, influencing everything from grid reliability to economic competitiveness.


    As the Battery Belt continues to evolve, Season 2 begins by examining one of the industry's most important questions: where will the next wave of battery demand come from? Professor Mustain offers valuable insight into how research, manufacturing, and energy policy are converging to shape the future of electrification.


    Whether you work in energy, manufacturing, research, policy, or are simply interested in the technologies transforming the Southeast, this season premiere offers a timely look at the opportunities and challenges defining the next chapter of the Battery Belt.
