The electric car could transform the way we think about transportation and energy. This is a disruptive technology that, if successful, may dramatically reduce dependence on oil, enable greater adoption of renewable energy, and shape how drivers think about personal mobility.

This presentation will provide an overview of an international movement, focusing on city leadership and the importance of information exchange.
