The need to find more sustainable options to power demand for personal mobility is greater than ever, and the automotive industry is currently undergoing a big transformation. In this presentation, Mr. Atsushi Najima discussed how electrified mobility can help tackle the continuing challenges of air quality and noise pollution. He also elaborated on the Nissan Intelligent Mobility as a reflection the company's approach in designing and building vehicles, providing the vision to meet the changing demand of customers.​

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are hailed as a silver bullet to reduce carbon emissions in smart cities. However, EV charging can destabilize the grid by spiking power demand. Evergo is a blockchain-based, plug-and-play backend system that addresses this challenge. It tracks energy trading and diversifies the energy mix for charging solutions. Evergo enables Machine-to-Machine communication between chargers, grid, and solar panels. It leverages on big data and analytics to provide smarter charging and load shifting.

Many countries will ban fossil fuel scooter/motorcycle between 2025 and 2035, pushing an annual number of approximately 70 million 2-wheeler worldwide to shift to EV in the next few years. Traditional e-scooters/motorcycles are designed with fixed rechargeable batteries, which requires long charging times, limiting its effective range. This presentation features Taipei,China's smart battery swapping system, considered the first in the world, which is expected to become the CNS national standard in the country by 2019. It also breaks down the core technologies involved in the system.

The global electric vehicle sales are on the rise have surpassed 1 million units in 2017. As per the International Energy Agency's (IEA) estimates, there will be about 125 million EVs on the road by 2030. Proactive policy environment combined with declining battery costs and investment in setting-up charging infrastructure is driving this penetration. This presentation provides the key insights on business model and approach developed for EESL for rollout EV charging infrastructure in India.

The Philippines government decision to replace more than 4,000,000 old polluting Public Transport vehicles (PUVs) is commendable. In the longer term, non-fossil fuel PUVs are the sustainable solution –Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV). The challenge is to provide a financial mechanism that allows for marginalized borrowers to afford their vehicles, structure the PUV fleet management policy that enables all who wish to participate, provide a refueling infrastructure (battery charging) that guarantees an operational range without stopping to charge.

This presentation analyzes the potential role of electric utilities in supporting Transport Electrification (TE) in Sri Lanka. It outlines the barriers to the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) as well as regulatory and pricing issues in Sri Lanka. It also compares and contrasts the outcomes, learning, and arguments from the U.S. State Public Utilities Commission Proceedings to Sri Lanka from a qualitative perspective, looking into degrees of utility ownership, equity, market competition, innovation, managed charging and social inclusion to inform TE policy in Sri Lanka.
