Electric Vehicles and Electric Transport in New Zealand: 2010 and Beyond

When: Friday 6 November, 12.30-2pm

Where: Large Gallery, Turnbull House, 11 Bowen St, Wellington

Admission: By koha

Can we switch our transport system from burning fossil fuels to using electricity? If so, how quickly will it happen, and how much difference will it make to New Zealand’s oil dependence and to greenhouse gas emissions from transport?

The Sustainable Energy Forum (SEF) is holding a seminar in Wellington on Friday 6 November to talk about these issues. Speakers will discuss developments in electric vehicle technology, the opportunities and difficulties in marketing electric vehicles, infrastructure implications of electric transport, and the effect that widespread use of electric transport is likely to have on New Zealand’s electricity system. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.

If you’re interested in transport, vehicle technology, oil depletion, or climate change, you’ll find something of interest in this SEF Seminar.
