Plug-In 2011 Coming to Raleigh
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) announced that Plug-In 2011, an international conference on the future of plug-in hybrid and electric transportation, will be held in Raleigh July 18 - 21.
The Raleigh Convention Center will be the first venue for the Plug-In Conference that will be held outside of California. The shift in location was envisioned as a way to offer wider access to potential attendees. The 2011 conference will be co-organized by EPRI, Progress Energy, and Duke Energy.
The Plug-In Conference was launched in San Jose in 2008, moved to Long Beach in Southern California in 2009 and returned to San Jose in 2010. It attracts automotive manufacturers, component suppliers, electric utilities, government agencies, the environmental community and academia to exchange ideas and gather information needed to make key decisions related to plug-in hybrid and electric transportation.
