Global EV Summit Plenary Session
These short notes are from the opening plenary session at the Global Electric Vehicle Summit in Washington DC December 4th 2008. They are continued in subsequent articles and are tagged here at EV Authority for easy access, simply search EDTA.
The EDTA (Electric Drive Transportation Association) is focused on advocacy in Washington DC, that's why it's hosted here. The last event was in December 2006 (they occur every two years) and since the last conference took place, consumers are now able to choose from 20 models of hybrid and plugins are in production by many companies - progress is being made in the EV market. Two local TV stations were at the ride and drive on December 3rd where members of the conference could test drive vehicles and community members could catch a glimpse of next generation technology.
The conference will be focused on examining technology, policy, and investments over the next two days. Rick Casper has chaired the conference for the past three consecutive events and is visiting from Fargo North Dakota, representing Global Electric Motor cars. Sponsors of the event include PG&E, Toyota, GM, EnerDel, Honda, Edison, CPI, LG, Duke Energy, Miles, GEM.
