Episode 1 : Interview with Dr. Jake Whitehead, The Electric Vehicle Council

In partnership with @iMOVE: the national research centre for transport and mobility and @RMIT University, C4NET are facilitating a series  to align the transport and energy sectors as we electrify transport. We’re encouraging collaborative conversation through – well, exactly that! Tune into the Conductors Series Conversations Podcast for insights from both sides of the “road” to renewably powered transport.  

In this series, we will explore the foundations of the transport and electricity sectors, from revenue generation and business models to, risk management and tolerance, while identifying areas of opportunity, innovation, and potential roadblocks to enabling an electrified future for transportation. The purpose of these conversations is to reach a cross industry baseline of understanding, to advance the dialogue between the two sectors and to align transport and energy as we electrify transport.  

Get involved in the conversation by reaching out to info@c4net.com.au or attending a Conductors Series Event and keep up to date by following us on LinkedIn:https://au.linkedin.com/company/centre-for-new-energy-technologies
