Riding on the Freeway: Transforming Transportation | 2023 IWF World Leadership Conference

PLENARY 5 - Riding on the Freeway: Transforming Transportation If Aretha Franklin could take a ride on the “Freeway of Love” today, her pink Cadillac might be an electric vehicle. But for our cars to travel fast and far, we must be able to refuel easily. That will take new infrastructure from new sources. Patti Poppe, CEO of PG&E, shares their important work to make this happen in the context of increased stressors on the power supply. Lisa Drake, Vice President of EV Industrialization of Ford Motor Company, will join her to offer their perspective on EVs and the collaborative work underway to ensure your trip is fun, far, and fast. How can auto manufacturers ensure they have enough batteries to power an all-EV America? How are consumers reacting to these vehicles? What are the potential barriers to supporting increased demand? How can the grid provide the electricity to keep them moving? Speakers: Patti Poppe, CEO, PG&E Lisa Drake, Vice President, EV Industrialization, Ford Motor Company Moderator: Janet Dietrich, Senior Managing Director, Macquarie Group (IWF Texas)
