WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
Virtually every automaker is planning to launch electric vehicles in the near term after record high oil prices forced them to offer alternative power systems.
Specific topics to be discussed will include:
* Will the success of the EV be fueled by hype, hope or reality?
* How will the EV revolution unfold?
* Which factors will drive EV adoption from a niche powertrain technology to mass adoption?
* What infrastructure challenges need to be overcome?
* How will the EV value-chain evolve?
* How will automakers be able to achieve differentiation from battery powered vehicles?
* How will EVs change consumer behavior and what impact will this have on EV adoption?
This event is supported by the German American Chamber of Commerce (GACC) in San Francisco and sponsored by Airship Ventures.
