About Plug-in
Hybrids: Accelerating Progress 2007
We would like to invite you to join us in a one-day symposium, “Plug-In
Hybrids: Accelerating Progress 2007" on 19 September 2007 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington D.C. Our goal is to focus on current needs and how progress can be accelerated.
Advances across a broad range of electrical and electronic technologies
— motors, power electronics, sensors, computation and controls and new batteries
— have enabled the recent commercialization of hybrid vehicles.
With these advances the opportunity to use larger batteries and create commercial plug-in hybrids has arrived. Plug-in hybrids use electric energy from the grid to displace liquid fuels and reduce dependence on petroleum.
The symposium will cover the following issues in addition to
keynotes that will address the broader policy issue.
-
Electrification, Fuel Economy and the Environment
-
Plug-in Vehicles and the Electric Grid
-
New Technology Challenges and Opportunities
- Need for Federal Action Now
Thank you for your support.
