The next two years will be crucial to the electric car market as OEMs launch new models and as governments start to construct infrastructures. However, many questions remain unresolved. How big is the business opportunity? How robust and reliable will the technology be in the hands of ordinary motorists? Can the supply chain sustain the growth envisaged? How is the roll-out process of cars and recharging networks going to be managed? Will some places become electric car hotspots while others get left behind?
This topical webinar brings together key industry experts to provide insight and answers regarding the creation of electric car infrastructures of the future.
