The Future of Transport in Melbourne: Electric Vehicles

Telsas are turning heads. Electric car charging stations are starting to appear. Melbourne is adopting electric vehicles with enthusiasm, despite unanswered questions about what supportive infrastructure needs to be installed, and where. It's time to get serious about accelerating electric vehicle uptake in Melbourne, to ensure our city is at the forefront of the awesome change to electrified transport. What are the major challenges and opportunities that lie ahead? How can startups accelerate their success in this sector?

EnergyLab is excited to facilitate a conversation on how electric vehicles will transform the transportation sector in Victoria and beyond. 

This is the first event in EnergyLab's three-part event series on The Future of Transport in Melbourne, leading to a hackathon to generate transportation-focused clean energy startups. More information and registration for the series below.
