Mike Switzer, host of the South Carolina Business Review

We interviewed our next guest early this year about the state of the electric vehicle industry which has seen a leveling off of interest even as our state has many, very large EV industry factories under construction. You’ll have a chance soon to talk to him directly as well as to other EV owners during the annual, National Drive Electric event coming to the Midlands on September 28th. Mike Switzer interviews Alan Buck, the organizer of this event.

After almost 20 years, Mike Switzer retired from Wells Fargo Securities in 2001 as Senior Vice President/Investment Officer and Certified Portfolio Manager. In 1999, he and his wife, Maggie, purchased and operated for eight years the Baskin Robbins ice cream store on Forest Drive in Columbia. They grew the store from a bottom-tier operation in the Baskin Robbins franchise system to one in the top 5% nationwide within three years, tripling sales along the way. While operating the ice cream store, Mike and Maggie received patents for a portable ice cream sink and fold-down sneezeguard they invented and in 2002 started Magnolia Carts, an ice cream cart manufacturing company, which they sold in 2013.
