A virtual journey on this topic

This topic is dream space for many mechanical engineers and innovators. So many good questions are part of this challenge:

• How can travel be minimized? (Sociology can help here.)
• How can the impact on the environment be minimized? (Efficiencies, fuel selection, etc.)
• How can the concept of smart change the game? (IoT, AI, networks, etc.)
• How is safety addressed?
• How fixed is the route, and how does this vehicle fit into the bigger picture of fixed versus flexible routes?

This is just a start of a big and exciting conversation.

The Inventor's block

As I encounter inventors, I will post their works below for consideration.

LA is planning a city where 80% of vehicles are EV or zero-carbon by mi-2030s

California in general, and LA in particular have some of the worst air quality in the US. Despite a reputation as a ‘green’ state, the reality is that they have a huge problem here. And what LA is planning, other cities across the US (and the world) and planning also.

Several of our current clients & others in the pipeline are paying a LOT of attention to this. And they are doing their own EV fleet planning to get ahead of this (and yes - this is why they are working with eIQ Mobility).

How is Milwaukee (Wisconsin) planning to best accommodate the switch to electric vehicles in the future?
