CW Talk: All cars electric by 2035. What needs to happen to make this reality and how likely is it?

Brought to you by Cambridge Wireless

The Government has said that by 2035 all new car sales must be of electric vehicles. Is this feasible?

Registration for this event is now closed.

About the event

Governments often set optimistic targets in the hope that this will stimulate activity, but often these targets are not met. Changing to electric vehicles is hugely challenging, not only in ensuring the vehicles are available, competitively priced and have sufficient range, but also in terms of the charging infrastructure and even the electricity supply network. Can this all really be achieved in 15 years? Which areas are likely to be most problematic? Where is investment most needed? This webinar will explore where the challenges lie both in the vehicles and infrastructure and provide expert views on whether 2035 is plausible, optimistic or just pie in the sky.

Please note: registration for this event will close by 14:00 on 15 July.
