DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by IEEE Nebraska Section&#39;s IAS and PES Technical
  Chapters.\n\nThe evening will begin with a thirty minute networking sessi
 on at 5:30pm followed by dinner and the Update on Electric Transportation 
 Update presentation at approximately 6:30pm.\n\nWe have previously learned
 : The current electric vehicle “renaissance” began over a century ago 
 with one in every three automobiles sold in America being battery powered.
  The first motorized vehicle to go faster than 60 miles per hour was elect
 ric. Ferdinand Porsche’s first car was electric. Henry Ford and Thomas E
 dison collaborated on electric cars. Now it seems we’ve come full circle
  as the likes of Volkswagen\, Ford\, GM\, and Nissan all try to catch up w
 ith Tesla.\n\nThe performance of modern Electric Vehicles is significantly
  better than that of earlier EVs. The higher energy storge and power outpu
 t of Li Ion batteries is perhaps the most important contributor\, but seve
 ral other improved electrical components have also contributed significant
 ly. These include three phase AC motors\, high efficiency power electronic
 s in DC to AC inverters\, and microcomputers in motor controllers. Perform
 ance improving technologies and their introduction in EVs are discussed in
  this presentation. Experience with modern electric cars will be available
  for attendees.\n\nNOTE:  PDH&#39;s AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST\n\nCo-sponsored by:
