Building on the successful luncheon panel discussion Engineering Innovation to Drive Toward a Low-Carbon Transportation Sector on October 16, OSPE and Mindfirst, a Clean Technology and Sustainability consulting firm, are presenting a series of seminars in 2016 that will centre on sustainable community infrastructure.

The October 16 event offered an in-depth and engaging discussion on electric vehicles. From an overview of the benefits of driving electric cars, to research findings on their energy efficiency, to how electric vehicles impact the grid, panelists shared their insights into this clean technology and the economic and health benefits it offers.
