Sam Clarke and the flying dogs
On Wednesday 3rd April Sam Clarke - the IoC's own Chair of Electric Vehicles (or Electric Chair) and Founder of all-electric London delivery company Gnewt Cargo - presented on the role of EVs in urban last mile logistics at the inaugural Everything EV Event.
His engaging talk included the challenges around achieving a truly smart charging fleet solution, details of the joint Gnewt/Mayor of London Commercial EV Trial and even featured a huge flying dog in a drone!
The event was held close to St Paul's Cathedral in the heart of London, and was attended by over 150 from both the public and private sector.
Day 1 of the event was a real mix of what needs to happen to accelerate uptake of EVs in the UK, financing of infrastructure and included an interesting and heated panel debate about the future role of Vehicle to Grid (V2G).
V2G, and Fleet electrification (both public and private sector) dominated the second and last day of the event, with various presentations apart from Sam's, including from LowCVP, Birmingham City Council and Global Action Plan.
Sam is set to speak at the next TfL LoCITY light vehicle group, set your diary for May 24th
