reached peak demand for oil? How should electricity networks and governments accommodate new

technologies? Will electric vehicles support or hinder grid security? How do policymakers balance the environmental, economic impacts and

consumer preferences? Can EVs deliver energy security, energy reliance and environmental benefits while

being affordable for consumers?

Panel Discussion: What EV policies have been successful, are there any silver bullets? Are electric vehicle subsidies the best use of public funds, are feebates on

conventional vehicles a fair way to support EV growth? What are the roles of government and industry in supporting infrastructure and

EV deployment? How should transport and energy policymakers plan for the future of

transportation? How should electricity systems best adapt and absorb the transition to electric

vehicles? Who is best placed to lead on EV strategy development, Government or industry?

Will it happen organically if Governments do nothing?
