Summary

Charge! If you’re a greenie eying an EV (electric vehicle) as your next car, there’s a lot to consider: battery pack size, driving range of plug-in hybrids like C-Max Energi or Volt vs. all-electric Leaf, power grid impacts, ongoing costs and more. The experts speak: Christine Hertzog: “A consumer-centric EV market maturity model could help accelerate EV adoption. Alaa Owaineh: “The world is increasingly urban, and cities are an important part of any strategy to build smarter, more sustainable energy systems.” Sam Jaffe: “Teach your mouth to say 'I don't know' and then progress will be made.--Maimonides Maurizio Cattaneo: “In the more densely populated areas of the world, electric vehicles will soon make up 10-15% of the vehicles on the road. They may not sound like many, but if all would charge at the same time, today’s electricity grid would not be able to cope and blackouts would be almost inevitable.” Join us for more insights on Charge! Driving Global Electro-mobility.
