The Electric Vehicle Revolution

That petrol car you’re driving? It might well be your last.

Electric Vehicle (EV) technology is speeding towards new possibilities. The question is, what do we want all this to look like in our cities? Our expert panel will consider how all this new EV tech can lead to more accessible and inclusive transport options. They will delve into the urban design and infrastructure upgrades needed to support EV uptake, and how to encourage diverse socio-economic access to electric transport.

Our speakers include:

Vanessa Toholka (Host) – Triple R presenter (Byte Into IT program)
Helen Rowe – Transport Program Impact Manager, ClimateWorks
Dave Budge – CEO/Founder, Jaunt Motors
Prof. Mahdi Jalili – Research Lead, RMIT’s EV Living Lab
