Our latest confirmed guest speakers for this conference will include:

Less Than A Month Away! - In 1886, the first electric taxi cab was launched in England and in 1897 Ferdinand Porsche produced his first car – which was also electric. By 1904, electric vehicles were being overshadowed by cheaper, faster and more convenient petrol vehicles. Although this may have spelled the end of electric vehicles, recent breakthroughs in emerging EV technology and proactive government initiatives have dramatically shifted the viability of these machines. What barriers still stand in the way of creating a highly competitive EV? There must be a comprehensive effort to understand and coordinate critical technology research and development support, stimulating government policy and meaningful market incentives in order to support the future of electric vehicles in the marketplace.

Latest Updates At AWBriefing

Just got back from the Tesla UK Launch event last night. I'll be putting pictures up in our Gallery soon! The event marked the launch of Tesla’s first sales showroom in Europe. The new showroom is located in Knightsbridge – one of the best areas to be in London, right around the corner from Harrods. I had the opportunity to meet some fantastic people, including Elon Musk as well as his wonderful sister and mother who flew in for the special occasion. They also revealed for the Roadster Sport, which according to Elon Musk “is as fast around the track as a Porsche GT3”. In the past, I’ve had the opportunity to drive the Roadster around a track and it is blazingly fast – I can’t imagine how this one could get any faster. I think this is a great start for Tesla and Europe will really launch the Tesla to new heights. In the meantime, I’ll look forward to the video of a Roadster Sport vs. a GT3!

A quick thank you to our delegates and supporters for your overwhelming response to our Electric Vehicle Infrastructure conference “Unlocking the Grid” which just took place this week! There was a great discussion and a wide range of people from all different industries. It was fantastic to see the enthusiasm for the infrastructure challenge. Also, it was interesting to see that there is much more to infrastructure development than meets the eye – but I guess that only means more avenues for truly creative thinking!
