The new Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf will be featured attractions at the IEEE-USA Electric Vehicles & Personal Transportation Workshop, which begins today at the Renaissance Austin (Texas) Hotel.
The vehicles can be found outside the hotel, and attendees will be able to ask questions and see the vehicles up close.
Craig Eppling, a regional communications manager for General Motors, will discuss the Volt on the electric vehicle market panel, which begins at 9 a.m. in ballroom B. He will be joined by Mark Perry, director of product planning for Nissan America; and Rob Ferber, chief technology officer for KLD Energy Technologies. Ferber is a former science director at Tesla Motors and was responsible for Tesla’s early drive train integration of motor, controller and battery systems.
Other event focus areas include charging infrastructure; PEVs and the electricity business; customer acceptance; managing PEV loads; electric vehicle policy issues; PEVs and the electric grid; and personal electric transportation. The charging infrastructure panel also starts at 9 a.m., in ballroom A.
In addition to the Volt and Leaf, personal transportation devices such as electric scooters and bicycles are also scheduled to appear.
The workshop will explore the challenges and opportunities of electric vehicle transportation and feature eight panels of more than 20 technology, industry, academic and policy experts.
