Batte ry-powered electric vehicles (BEV) are now in price parity with internal c ombustion engine (ICE) cars\, even being more competitive. Many countries/ regions now have aggressive mandates towards zero-emission to combat globa l climate change. A major remaining obstacle is the availability of ultra- fast charging required for long-haul driving and ubiquitous charging for e veryday driving. We will discuss the challenges facing ultra-fast charging and available solutions coming on the horizon. We will provide a new thin king in achieving ubiquitous charging infrastructure by leveraging existin g and readily-available technologies. For autonomous vehicles\, wireless p ower charging provides a path forward. The newly-founded IEEE Transportati on Electrification Council (TEC) is providing much-needed leadership in th e technical space to help pushing for ubiquitous charging infrastructure o n a global scale.\n\nSpeaker(s): Don\n\nAgenda: \nSocial: 6:30 PM\n\nPrese ntation: 7 pm (eastern time zone).\n\nRoom: 3rd floor\, Room: 305\, Bldg: Information Science Building\, 135 N Bellefield Ave\, Pittsburgh\, Pennsyl vania\, United States\, 15260 LOCATION:Room: 3rd floor\, Room: 305\, Bldg: Information Science Building\, 135 N Bellefield Ave\, Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, United States\, 15260 ORGANIZER:senkk@ieee.org SEQUENCE:24 SUMMARY:Ultra-fast charging and ubiquitous infrastructure URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/477072 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justi fy\;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,ser if\; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'\; color: black\; mso-ansi- language: EN-US\; mso-fareast-language: EN-US\; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\; ">As the EV technology for the driving train entered the phase of maturity with many superior performances\, significant progress in battery technol ogies ushed in the era of electrical vehicle proliferation.
