What does the future hold for the hybrid car market? Now oil prices have exceeded $100 a barrel, the development of commercially viable alternative energy technologies for the automotive industry must happen sooner rather than later. Auto manufacturers know that for a large enough market to fully develop for electric and plug in hybrid vehicles, that the energy storage technologies need to be in place to power the vehicles satisfactorily, and that a workable infrastructure for charging (or 'refuelling') must be in place. Only once this infrastructure has been established, will the market for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles really move forward.
Enabling Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Markets  
 
Enabling Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Markets' is the only globally-focused Electric Vehicle Summit to provide focused coverage on the critical factors that will help expedite the growth of the market for electric vehicles, including infrastructure, standards, and the development of suitable charging and battery technologies. Enabling Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Markets is also unique in bringing together a diverse audience of electric transportation managers from utilities, government bodies, auto manufacturers and technology providers.

Focusing on the commercial drivers, this event will examine strategies to make the technology affordable to the consumer and manufacturer, and making it economically feasible through infrastructure, public policy and incentivization. Investigating the timescales, the Summit will look at what investment needs to be made, where and by whom, and the potential returns on investment. To further develop levels of understanding for the topic we will also be underpinning the policy and incentive case studies with detailed information on the latest technological break-throughs in Lithium-Ion Batteries in terms of safety, cost and performance.

This event will provide a unique forum for discussion and provide the opportunity to create a universal plan of action for the development and implementation of charging standards with all the key value chain members present.
