Transport Forum
Policy

How are governments and the automotive industry gearing up to electrify and reduce carbon emission reduction targets, while boosting jobs and the economy? And with Chinese automakers accounting for more than half of the EVs produced worldwide at an ever-decreasing cost, what is the appropriate response?

With charging time and range anxiety still gripping many consumers, this session will unpack the ways in which a bottom-up EV transformation can take place, including innovative leasing models and incentive structures, as panellists will share what supporting mechanisms are required which could altogether negate top-down measures against ICEs.
