The electric vehicle revolution is well underway. Countries worldwide are vying to get in on the "green rush" caused by this transition. Car culture is undergoing a profound change. We'll take a look at available types of electric cars, their designs, car charging and consider the wider impacts of this disruptive technology. Join retired computer scientist, author, and President of the Lethbridge Folk Club Tom Moffatt for a discussion about the EV Revolution. A public advocate for immediate and significant action on the climate crisis, at home Tom is an enthusiastic adopter of renewable energy technologies and is currently the proud owner of a Mustang Mach E 4X.
