DESCRIPTION:Electric vehicles first appeared in the mid-19th century. EVs h
 eld the land speed record until around 1900. The high cost\, low top speed
 \, and short-range of battery electric vehicles\, compared to 20th century
  internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles\, led to a worldwide decline in
  their use as private motor vehicles\; although electric vehicles have con
 tinued to be used in the form of loading and freight equipment and public 
 transport – especially rail vehicles.\n\nNow in the 21st century\, inter
 est in electric vehicles has increased due to growing concern over the pro
 blems associated with fossil fuel vehicles\, including damage to the envir
 onment caused by their emissions\, and the sustainability of the current h
 ydrocarbon-based transportation infrastructure as well as improvements in 
 EV technology.\n\nSpeaker(s): Sharan Kalwani\, \n\nAgenda: \n05:30 PM - We

 d-19th century. EVs held the land speed record until around 1900. The high
  cost\, low top speed\, and short-range of battery electric vehicles\, com
 pared to 20th century internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles\, led to a
  worldwide decline in their use as private motor vehicles\; although elect
 ric vehicles have continued to be used in the form of loading and freight 
 equipment and public transport &ndash\; especially rail vehicles.</p>\n<p>
 Now in the 21st century\, interest in electric vehicles has increased due 
 to growing concern over the problems associated with fossil fuel vehicles\
 , including damage to the environment caused by their emissions\, and the 
 sustainability of the current hydrocarbon-based transportation infrastruct
 ure as well as improvements in EV technology.&nbsp\;</p><br /><br />Agenda
