    10:30 a.m.   Performance of batteries in extreme conditions (S1)
                 Frigid winters and hot, humid summers in Canada and other
                 parts of the world pose major challenges for the performance
                 of batteries.

                 Network integration (S2)
                 The marketing of PHEVs and EVs requires some thought in
                 relation to the electric network's generation and
                 distribution capacities.

                 Customer perspectives (S3)
                 Realizing what customers know about the various forms of
                 electric traction is a key element in the development and
                 marketing of PHEVs and EVs.
