This document highlights the informative session on Electric and Hydrogen Cars, held in 2021 by the IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES) and Industrial Applications Society (IAS).

 

The session addressed the growing interest in sustainable transportation solutions and explored the potential of electric and hydrogen cars. It brought together experts from academia, industry, and government to discuss:

  1. The latest advancements in electric vehicle (EV) and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) technologies.
  2. Challenges and opportunities associated with widespread adoption of EVs and FCEVs, including battery technology, charging infrastructure, hydrogen production and distribution.
  3. The impact of these technologies on the power grid and energy sector.
  4. Policy considerations for promoting the development and deployment of electric and hydrogen cars.

 

The session provided a valuable platform for:

  1. Sharing knowledge and experiences
  2. Identifying areas for further research and development
  3. Encouraging collaboration among stakeholders to accelerate the transition to a sustainable transportation future.

 

While the session was held in 2021, the discussions around electric and hydrogen cars remain highly relevant today. As the world strives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality, the role of these technologies in transportation continues to grow.
