News I iCET begins World Bank Electric Vehicles Project

As vehicle manufacturers and policy makers in China and around the world race to bring the first commercially-produced electric vehicles to market, many questions still remain about infrastructure, charging and interaction of vehicles with the electric grid and the environment.  As this technology comes closer to commercialization, it is increasingly important that governments, manufacturers, energy providers and financiers have a clear strategy about how to move forward with this technology.

iCET has joined an important project by the World Bank to begin to lay out a roadmap for electrification of the transportation system in China.  This project will bring the development team to Shenzhen, Beijing and Wuhan to understand the most recent in manufacturing and planning for EV, and culminate in a session on June 28 again in Beijing to set out a road forward for more detailed planning and research.

This is an important first step for electrification policy in China, and iCET looks forward to bringing its unique perspective to this field.
