General Motors is a founding Board member of EDTA and I am pleased to lead the association during this time of tremendous advances in the electric drive industry. EDTA’s members represent all facets of the industry, and I look forward to working with them to advance electrification throughout the transportation sector.

Cohen, Vice President of Government and Industry Relations for American Honda Motor Company, who has served as Co-Chairman since early 2004. Cohen remains on the EDTA Board.
Isn't this like electing Hugh Hefner to lead the Campaign on Abstinence ?
