Electrification of automobile transportation in the United States presents an economic opportunity that is both large in scope and potentially hugely disruptive to multiple industries that are mainstays in most investors’ portfolios.  We’ve put together this session as part of a larger effort to get mainstream investment managers and analysts more focused on how clean technology and sustainability could significantly change the investment landscape.

•  Will a transition be slowed by consumer concerns like range anxiety or accelerated by the changing lifestyles of a younger generation of consumers?
• What might this transition look like?
• How fast could it happen?
• What would it mean for the way we analyze and value companies in the auto, energy, and utility industries?

Please join our panel for a discussion of the implications of this transition for investors.
