This second instalment of our discussions on energy tech is introduced by Dino Wilkinson and hosted by Richard Power, a specialist in energy law. Expert contributor Nigel Brook, head of Clyde & Co's resilience and climate risk practice, discusses how data collection and analysis, artificial intelligence (AI) and smart contracts could aid the transition to electric vehicles (EVs). The episode considers the challenges involved in powering a network of EVs within current infrastructure, potential solutions presented by emerging technologies, and the legal issues and barriers to overcome.
