Plenty of Prius-II PHEVs will be on hand similar to the A123Systems/HyMotion conversion owned by WPPI.
Anaheim, CA. -- EVS-23, hosted by the Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA) in partnership with the World Electric Vehicle Association (WEVA) is open for business.
The International Electric Vehicle Symposium is a premier event bringing together business, technology, policy and academic leaders involved in electric propulsion technologies. Begun in 1969 as an academic information exchange with regards to Electric drive technology, it has moved from the classrooms and labs into the marketplace.
EVS is a worldwide event moving between Asia, Europe and North America as hosted by one of the three International members of WEVA. Last year’s EVS22 was held in Yokohama, Japan with EVS-21 held in Monte Carlo, Monaco.
With a schedule including the who’s who of domestic and international speakers and technologies ranging from Testing of PHEVs to Ultracapacitor Energy Storage Solutions, expect to hear a lot more about mission critical advances of tomorrows electrically driven vehicles today.
Exhibitors currently onsite include A123Systems, AC Propulsion, AeroVironment, Honda, Argonne National Labs, Challenge X, Daimler, DOE, EDTA, EPRI, EnerDel, ExxonMobil, Ford, GM, Hitachi, JCI/Saft, Mitsubishi, Lexus, Maxwell, Nilar, Panasonic, SCE, Toyota and Valance technology to name a few.
Today’s highlights included an open to the public Ride and Drive with some of the most advanced vehicles available anywhere. The ever popular AC Propulsion eBOX (Scion xB EV), multiple GM sponsored Challenge X participants from Universities around the country, Daimler’s A-Class FCV, Phoenix Motorcars EV SUT, Toyota’s Prius-II, TCH, Highlander and a ZENN NEV are just a few of those being driven at this very moment. Along with the public Ride and Drive, the presentation schedule is as follows:
