In-Person - Jeffrey Jennings, Volvo Cars

October 19 -- (Daniel Island Club) Jeffrey Jennings, Senior Manager, Technical Training, Volvo Cars. The Future of Electric Cars. Michael Cole heard Jeffrey give his talk a couple of months ago and encouraged us to get him in the line-up as a speaker for our Club. This is obviously an industry still in its infancy and an insider’s view should be fascinating. Will the supply of lithium be able to keep pace with the soaring demand? Can re-charging stations become universal so that EV’s can re-charge anywhere? Will the time of re-charging be reduced to just a few minutes? Can re-charging stations keep pace with the growth of EV’s? Will the cost of re-charging at a public charging be significantly more than at a private charger? What about electric planes and flying taxis? Are they in the works? Given the high cost of replacing a battery, is an EV really worth the extra cost? So many questions. Hopefully, Jeffrey can provide some answers. Jeffrey has spent more than 25 years in the automotive industry in the U.S., Canada, Germany, The U.K., Mexico, Panama, Argentina, and Brazil working for companies like Land Rover, jaguar, BMW, and now Volvo.
