Spotlight on Electric Vehicles

recently cited an upcoming conference solely focused on the electric vehicle space, and as the date approaches, it’s a good time to say more about it. The event is theElectric Vehicle Consumer Adoption Summit, and is put together by IQPC (News -Alert), a well-known conference producer. While our Smart Grid Summit has a fairly broad scope, this event is narrow but deep. We have one panel in our program about electric vehicles, and it’s one of the sessions I’m most looking forward to.
For that reason I’d like to tell you a bit more about this conference. This is one of the most exciting areas of smart grid and will have far reaching implications, not just for utilities, but for our everyday behaviors. While it’s a given how important the electric vehicle will be for auto-centric North America, the opportunity is in fact even greater in emerging markets like China and India. As an example, for the first time ever, the United States was passed by China in 2009 as the largest auto market in the world.
