2012 Conference in Montréal WELCOME LETTERS WELCOME TO EV 2011 VÉ CONFERENCE AND TRADE SHOW On behalf of Electric Mobility Canada, our conference partners and sponsors, we are pleased to welcome you to EV 2011 VÉ Electric Vehicles Conference and Trade Show. This is only our third national conference and already, it has become known as the place to be to discuss electric vehicle matters in Canada. We have benefi tted enormously from the support from our government and industry partners which has allowed us to deliver high quality programs and comprehensive trade shows. EV 2011 VÉ is no exception. With over 60speakers the program off ers you an unprecedented learning opportunity covering technical, business and policy discussions for electric mobility. The networking opportunities off ered by the wide variety of attendees are limitless and we encourage you to use the conference to expand your personal network to include the many colleagues you will meet WELCOME LETTERTHE COMMITTEE FROM WELCOME from across the country. We are grateful to the Co-Chairs of the Conference Organization Committee, Gerry Pietschmann of the City of Toronto and Cara Clairman of Ontario Power Generation who skilfully coordinated a number of sub-committees who dealt with the conference program, the trade show as well as many behind the scenes activities needed to deliver an eff ective event. We will be introducing the concept of Building Canada’s Green Highway - a vision for Canadians to travel coast to coast to coast using alternative energy to power their vehicles. This vision is necessary to move Canada towards a more sustainable future in its growing transportation activity, a future that will see a reduction in the use of fossil fuels and in emissions from vehicles. Canada is fortunate to have much in the form of renewable energy and with the potential for greatly expanding current and new sources. Our transportation system is critical to maintaining our lifestyles and economic activity and we need to grow our use of renewable energy to sustain our transportation activity.

TRACK 2 - THE VEHICLES AND COMPONENTS This track opens with a review of the benefi ts of electric vehicles for various vehicle types – spanning light-duty to heavy-duty, to off -road, to industrial. Additionally, the impact of operating conditions on design and operation of EVs is reviewed. And to PROGRAM CONFERENCE complete the track the role of Canada in the design, supply, and manufacture of these vehicles is discussed. TRACK 3 - THE GRID AND INTERFACE The state of the art in charging infrastructure and management is reviewed, along with the various electricity production pathways. Given that many standards have recently been released or are nearing release, the current status and initial successes or challenges of the standards are reviewed. TRACK 4- IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES Given both the importance and impact of a successful roll-out of electric vehicles and the supporting infrastructure, a deliberate and well-organized set of implementation strategies must be deployed. The strategies span many stakeholders, and this track brings together leaders in the various fi elds to discuss these strategies in detail.

  • Electric Vehicle Technology Roadmap for Canada
    Electric Vehicle Technology Roadmap for Canada A strategic vision for highway-capable battery-electric, plug-in and other hybrid-electric vehicles Produced with funding from the Recycled paper Letter from the Chair of the Industry Steering Committee The race is on! The world is racing towards electric traction as the principal means of sustaining the comfort, convenience, and efficiency of the transportation systems used in our modern life. Canada is in a race with other countries to achieve the industrial, societal, and environmental benefits of electric vehicles. We started the race in a good position, with abundant renewable electric power and with Canadian companies and researchers leading the way in developing exciting new technologies. However, we have not maintained our competitive advantage while transitioning from research to commercialization. We have allowed other countries’ companies and governments to overtake us in setting aggressive goals and investing in achieving them—in getting green vehicles on the road and shaping the future of a new auto industry. It is not too late. If we act now, we can regain a strong position in bringing electric vehicles to market and achieve the full benefits of this burgeoning industry, including the commercialization of globally leading Canadian technology and the creation of high-end, knowledge-based jobs in Canada. The deployment of electric vehicles will also reduce fuel consumption and improve urban air quality while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving these benefits requires immediate action and investment by both governments and industry or it will simply be impossible to meet the 2018 target of at least 500 000 electric vehicles on Canadian roads set out in the Roadmap.

Wolfe Innovation Policy Lab, Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy University of Toronto 1 Devonshire Place Toronto ON M5S 3K7 https://munkschool.utoronto.ca/ipl/ ABSTRACT The global automotive industry is currently experiencing the greatest disruption it has faced in over a century. The advent of connected, autonomous and electric vehicles and the popularity of ride sharing services are transforming the industry to one that is increasing referred to as transportation as a service (TaaS), transforming the customer experience and potentially shifting the entire industry sector away from private modes of transportation. Substantial uncertainty exists as to whether traditional automotive hubs in Automotive Alley will remain central to the growing digitization of the automotive industry or whether they will be replaced by new geographies with greater strength in digital technologies. This paper explores the extent to which efforts currently underway in the southern Ontario automotive cluster to meet the challenge of digitization in the auto industry are laying the foundations for a process of new path creation or modernization and institutional reconfiguration.
