This video was my submission for the 2025 Canadian Nuclear Association (CNA) Conference Student Program, which sponsors students across Canada to attend for free. This video was originally made in December 2024, and I was fortunately accepted. However, I was not able to attend the conference in mid-April 2025 due to my 3A final exams.

This YouTube podcast, made for BET 420: Entrepreneurship for Social Impact, explores the issues with the sustainability of EV manufacturing. It highlights the underlying problems associated with EVs despite their clean operational lifespan, focusing on the carbon footprint generated during their production phase. 

To fix this, a business model was proposed to repurpose old internal combustion engine (ICE) cars into electric vehicles using Sodium-Ion batteries. The viability, feasibility, market scope, stakeholder insights, and the need for regulatory compliance of this business model are discussed.
