The South Coast Air Quality Management District convened a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) Forum and Technical Roundtable focused on the technical issues related to advanced batteries and their effect on the development and commercialization of PHEVs. The objective of the meeting was to identify key expert perspectives on battery capabilities, requirements, and other issues specifically for application to plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and to highlight important or necessary RD&D areas for near-term commercialization of plug-in hybrids.

Eight technical experts provided focused presentations on various aspects of PHEV battery issues.  A technical roundtable discussion by these experts was conducted. Public comment will be encouraged following the roundtable discussion.

In attendance were major stakeholders, auto manufacturers, energy companies, industry representatives, state and federal regulatory agencies, environmental and community organizations and other interested parties.
