Electric vehicles: back to
the future?
Véhicules électriques :
retour vers le futur?
The first electric car was made in 1900
Why is it only now that electric vehicles are
taken seriously?
And what about driverless cars in the future?
Le premier véhicule électrique date de 1900 !
Pourquoi fallait-il attendre jusqu’à maintenant
pour prendre au sérieux ces véhicules
électriques ?
Quel sera le futur des voitures sans pilote ?

François Vuille PhD is Development Director at the Energy Centre
of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where
he acts as business developer, researcher and lecturer. He has
been working in the sustainable energy sector since 2001. His
current research activities focus on understanding the prospects
and barriers (technical, policy, regulatory and socio-economic)
of novel energy and clean technologies. He has acquired a
deep understanding of the global energy challenges and the
potential of innovative technology to play a role in energy
transitions.
In recent years, François has helped financial organisations to understand the complexities
and to seize opportunities in the cleantech sector. He is also the lead author of two major
reports commissioned by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and of two books on the
Swiss energy transition. He is a founder and a Board Director of two technology
companies – Softcar Ltd and Proxipel Ltd – which are active in the electric mobility and
bioenergy sectors respectively.
François has worked with leading car manufactures, power utilities, major oil firms,
financial organisations (including the World Bank) and governments (Swiss, UK, Chile,
European Commission and China), as well as with non-governmental and international
organisations such as the International Energy Agency, the European Space Agency and
the United Nations. He speaks French, English and German, as well as some Spanish and
Swiss German.
Gordon Douglas, co-president of the MIB, “discovered” François’s talent as a presenter at
the Ecovillages Forum in Les Diablerets, at which François spoke in 2014 and again in 2015.
We are delighted that he has agreed to present to the MIB.
