In this section of this module, you can watch our panel discussion about how the three perspectives of technology, business and policy are key to the growth of EVs. The panelists are the instructors you have previously met during the course: Professor Pavol Bauer for the technology perspective, Professor Frank Rieck for the business perspective, and Professor Margot Weijnen for the policy perspective. The panel is moderated by the course coordinator: Gautham Ram Chandra Mouli. Gautham Ram is as a postdoctoral researcher at Delft University of Technology working on electric cars and their charging technology.

The panel discussion is cut into five parts, each with a distinct question. These are:

1. Why should I buy an electric car?
2. When will the price of electric cars become lower than that of gasoline cars, i.e. When are EVs cheaper?
3. Range anxiety is still an issue with EVs. How can technology, policy and business help overcome this challenge, i.e. how to overcome the fear of an empty battery?
4. How would electric vehicles contribute to our economy and what will change in the business model, i.e. How do EVs change the economy?
5. Why are the three perspectives of technology, policy and business required for the uptake of EVs, i.e. Why take these three perspectives?
