IEA and Eight Countries Launch Electric Vehicles Initiative

[Dover]

The International Energy Agency (IEA) joined China, France, Germany, Japan, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, and the United States in launching the Electric Vehicles Initiative (EVI) at the Paris Motor Show in France. The new initiative will provide a platform for global cooperation on the development and deployment of electric vehicles. The EVI began at the Clean Energy Ministerial that was held in Washington, D.C., in July 2010; it was cemented during IEA's Advanced Vehicle Leadership Forum, a two-day roundtable on electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids that was held at the Paris Motor Show. Countries participating in the EVI have agreed to promote EV demonstrations in urban area and share the results; to share information on EV research and development programs; and to collect and share information on EV deployment targets, best practices, and policies. The participating countries will present more detailed plans at Electric Vehicle Symposium-25 in Shenzhen, China, in November, and initial EVI results are planned for presentations at the Shanghai Motor Show.
