Opportunities and Challenges: The Future of E-mobility in Germany and the US

The German Embassy and The Representative of German Industry and Trade in Washington D.C. are hosting an e-mobility conference on March 30, as part of the Transatlantic Climate Bridge initiative.
 
In light of the ambitious electric mobility targets set by both the US and German governments (Germany: 1 million electric cars by 2020; USA: 1 million electric cars by 2015), this event will showcase the development of the electric car industry on both sides of the Atlantic, in addition to the necessary R&D, infrastructure and energy supply.
