Video: Nordic EV Summit sets main topics

‘Entering the Electric Era’ is the focus of the Nordic EV Summit in Oslo on November 10 and 11.

It has revealed four main topics for the plenary sessions which include the European Union’s EV policies aiming for zero emissions in 2050, EV charging challenges, sustainable EV battery production, and when a fully electric car market is likely.

On the first topic “EU and EV policies – how to get to zero emissions”, summit organisers note EV policies have been rapidly changing in EU countries and the EU’s Green Deal is aiming for zero in 2050.

“But are the current EV policies sufficient for achieving zero emissions in the transport sector, creating new green jobs, and changing consumer behaviour?”

Top transport and environment people from the EU lobby world and with members of the European Parliament will be invited to join the discussion.

Charging challenges such as smart charging using renewable energy include talks around powering a fully electric transport sector and making charging easier for all consumers, with key people involved in the European charging infrastructure business and industry.

“Sustainable battery production” covers the prospects of a renewable and circular battery production in the Nordic Region and dealing with the challenges ahead.

This third session include global industry representatives.

The final session looks at when a fully electric car market will happen, covering how international car manufacturers are tackling the shift and whether they will meet the EV demand.

The impact of newcomers on the EV market around the world will also be considered, with some of the top people from the car industry in Europe, the US, and China expected to discuss all this.
