　　能源储存和管理技术突出电动车会议

　　尽管电动汽车行业迄今为止的销售数据一直在增长，但2012上半年可能会被视为一个失败市场的先兆，也可以被理解为大规模采用曲线缓慢、“颠簸”的早期部分。后者的证据，更有希望的场景是在显眼的丰度在电动汽车的土地，海，空2012会议（见图1），1在日前召开的圣若泽，CA，在电动汽车技术、零部件制造商和设计师，一些世界上最先进的电动汽车，船只和飞机（是的，飞机！）聚集在硅谷中心的投资者交换技术信息和商店。

　　This optimistic view of today’s “bumpy” market conditions was underscored by Dr. Peter Harrop‘s observation that， while all electric car makers （except Nissan） have experienced disappointing sales to date， sales of other types of EVs are growing rapidly， often without government subsidy. In his keynote， “Electric Vehicles： Revolution not Evolution，” Harrop pointed out that electric propulsion technologies had already staked out competitive positions in such unanticipated markets as hybrid outdoor forklifts， trucks， buses， and military vehicles. Harrop expects that the technology investments in advanced batteries， fuel cells， and motor systems that allowed Hyundai， Nissan， and Toyota and other manufacturers to profitably sell high-performance electric/hybrid-electric forklifts and other industrial vehicles will also pay big dividends as they are applied to on-road trucks and autos over the next few years.
