Description
With the increasing need of tackling climate change, the electric vehicles (EV) seem to be a straightforward solution to decarbonise transport, but what will be the cost of this EV revolution? In this talk, we will discuss the ‘pros and cons’ of the EV technology, and will try to find answers to some of the big questions around the costs of a large-scale EV penetration: should the government subsidise EVs to foster its adoption? Who (and how) should pay for the required infrastructure? How is this likely to affect electricity prices? What would be the impact on the economy?
