Keynote Speech - What’s the future for electric cars?

A session at Digital Shoreditch Festival 2012

The last few years have seen the electric vehicle market develop in leaps and bounds. Electric vehicles (EVs) are now universally recognised as the future of the automotive industry, with cars such as the Nissan Leaf entering the market in 2011. However, there is no doubt that barriers to mass-market adoption still remain, primarily in terms of efficiency, cost and usability.

The future of the electric car depends on whether we can successfully tackle these challenges: designing a vehicle that can be used, re-fuelled and enjoyed without any additional hassle for the driver. What are the conditions we need for success?
