The introduction of the Chevy Volt and Nissan LEAF in 2010 marked the beginning of a new era in the transportation industry: the permanent establishment of electric-drive in the mass market for passenger vehicles. Ever-rising and increasingly volatile oil markets and better energy storage technology have suddenly brought electric vehicles (EVs) to the threshold of technical and economic viability.

GTM Research's latest smart grid webinar, "Electric Vehicles 2011: Technology, Economics, and Market," will be a comprehensive account of the strategic opportunities created by the electrification of personal transport. This free webinar on Tuesday, November 22 at 2:00 PM EST will feature strategic findings from GTM Research's eponymous market report and will be presented by report authors Dominic Hofstetter and Travis Bradford.
