Speaker : Roger Atkins

Roger sang the the praises of combustion engines for a couple of decades. However, he changed his tune 12 years ago to become an electric vehicle advocate. As a musician turned business consultant, his 'Electric Vehicles Outlook' consultancy has been busy with automotive, finance, mining, and energy clients, as well as publicly sharing an EV narrative on the LinkedIn platform where he now has in excess of 280,000 followers. A trio of start-ups behind him - online car retailing at Virgincars, amphibious vehicles with Gibbs, and electric trucks at Modec, he now acts as Brand Ambassador for Rimac Automobili, and is an Advisory Board Member for Momentum Dynamics, Energy Disruptors and Renu ventures.
