Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf, thus far in small volumes, could ultimately have a big impact on the auto and utility industries.
The Center for Automotive Research announced today that The Business of Plugging In, a plug-in electric vehicle conference, will take place this October 11-13 at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn, MI. The agenda for the conference – now in its third year – includes representatives from utilities, automotive manufacturers and suppliers, investors, regulators and researchers.
As the name implies, plug-in electric vehicles – the current darlings of the environmental set – will be discussed during panels and workshops conducted by industry experts focused on the future of PEVs. There is also an evening reception and a dinner at the nearby Henry Ford museum.
“Following last year’s launch of the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf, there is now a need for the industry to examine the successes and failures of PEVs and uncover what lies on the road ahead,” said Brett Smith, conference chair, Center for Automotive Research, host of the event.
