As part of its energy talk series and in collaboration with the Network for Energy Technology, Access for Women in Energy (AccessWIE) organised a roundtable dinner discussion on the impact of the electric vehicles (EV) growth. The event was hosted by Barclays Capital at their offices in London on 11 May 2011.
