Vehicle electrification to lower greenhouse gas emissions will largely be driven by better batteries. Though the current technology is good enough for early-adopters, how will better tech move us towards an all-electric future as quickly as possible?

Join Green Energy Consumers Alliance for this hour-long webinar to learn:

• Why batteries are crucial to transition from the internal combustion engine and reduce our dependence on gasoline.

• How improved battery technology will make electric vehicles cheaper and encourage more drivers to switch.

• What happens to batteries when their useful life in vehicles is over.

• What to expect from battery tech if you drive or want to drive an electric car now.
