Tipping Point Workshop at The Grounds
Jop is busy plotting the suggested measurements on an adoption curve to get more sense of reality and impact in time.

Good

In half a day of workshops and brainstorming at The Grounds (Schiphol Airport) we came up with a list of measures that will stimulate the use of electric vehicles by companies for their daily transport movements. The atmosphere was great and all participants agreed that electric vehicles have less negative impact to the environment than conventional oil or gas powered vehicles. The manifesto was presented by De Groene Zaak to the Dutch government during the Electric Rally on June 5th 2011.
