TABLE OF TWENTY

Table of Twenty

In January 2011, Smith Electric Vehicles proposed to a diverse mix of for-profit and nonprofit organizations that the first of an intended series of meetings be held to discuss shared issues and challenges related to the viability of commercial vehicle electrification and the dynamics of high-change market adoption as described in Malcolm Gladwell’s book, “The Tipping Point.”

Invitees/attendees to the “Table of Twenty” included experts in electrification, geopolitical dynamics, social/environmental issues, finance, manufacturing, and commercial/fleet transportation.

The first Table of Twenty meeting was held in Kansas City in February, 2011 and the second meeting was held in May, 2011.
