The University of Michigan’s Conference on Transportation, Economics, Energy and the Environment (TE3) brings economists and other academic researchers together with practitioners from industry, government and the public policy community to share knowledge, exchange ideas and strengthen our collective ability to address the transportation sector's energy and environmental challenges. Now in its sixth year, the 2019 TE3 Conference will examine transportation electrification worldwide, highlighting developments in both the United States and China.

Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States and a rising source globally. Technology advances and falling costs for energy storage and renewable energy are now poised to create a historic opportunity to transition the sector to electrified mobility. At this year's TE3 event, conference participants will explore this exciting transition through sessions addressing consumer interest in electric vehicles (EVs), vehicle charging, the role of a cleaner electric grid, the economics of EVs and the interactions among different policies. The conference will close with a high-level panel discussion about the tensions that confront EV-related policy development in the world's leading vehicle markets.

TE3 2019 will be held on Friday, October 18 in Rackham Amphiteatre.
