LONDON, April 20, 2010 - In response to overwhelming interest and the success of last year's

Electric Vehicles Unplugged 2010 will bring together key decision makers
across the industry to provide unique insights into the structure of new
business models and their implications to industry stakeholders. "The
emergence of the 'Integrator' will also be debated whose role is paramount in
managing the diverse service offering to customers through strategic
partnerships with the many industry players. It will also allow attendees to
understand the position that key industry players are taking towards
infrastructure and to debate the pros and cons of different solutions in
development across Europe," says Frost & Sullivan Partner and Automotive &
Transportation Practice Director, Sarwant Singh

With up to 1.1million electric vehicles expected to be sold in Europe by
2015 and 2011 being the year that Europe's traditional automotive OEMs will
significantly increase their EV production, a fully trialed, tested and
proven charging infrastructure network must be in place by 2011. It is
expected that by 2015 approximately 2.75million charging stations will be
needed across Europe. "The implementation of fast charging stations is also
another hot topic being widely discussed in the industry. Cities across
Europe are taking different approaches to infrastructure developments and a
wide array of industries are involved creating new partnerships between OEMs,
Governments, Utility Companies and Charging Station Manufacturers," says
Singh.

Day one of the workshop will take place at the House of Lords and will
provide a forum to bring parliamentarians and industry experts together.

Day two of the workshop will be held at the Society of Motor
Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) and feature keynote presentations from some
of the industry's top experts. These include:

    - Ayoul Grouvel, Head of Electric Vehicles, PSA Peugeot Citroen
    - Tony Posawatz, Vehicle Line Director for Chevrolet Volt & Global
      Electric Vehicle Development of GM; Chairman of EDTA
    - Nancy Gioia, Head of Electrification, Ford Motor Company
    - Anthony Bernbaum, Head of Global Special Opportunities, HSBC
    - Diana Blake, Director: Sales and Marketing, Optimal Energy
    - Sarwant Singh - Partner and Practice Director, Automotive and
