Eva Hakansson, a mechanical engineer and world-record holder, challenged perceptions of electric vehicles (EVs) as slow or inferior. Raised in a racing household, she designed and built her own electric motorcycles, shattering countless world records and demonstrating the true potential of EVs to be both fast and exciting.

Her journey began with Sweden's first e-bike, the 'Electrocat', leading to the 'KillaJoule'. This electric motorcycle achieved 434 km/hr, making it the fastest female-driven electric motorcycle. Now, her latest project, 'Green Envy', aims to become the world's fastest motorcycle, targeting 650 km/h. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

Northern Ireland is embarking on a cleaner energy future, utilizing abundant wind and solar resources. While engineers drive innovation, widespread public and community support is crucial. We need open dialogue to connect green energy projects with climate benefits, helping individuals make informed choices and embrace new infrastructure. This collective effort is vital to transform NI's power system for future generations.

Dr. David McGowan, a Senior Lead Engineer at SONI, is key to this transition. He led SONI’s Tomorrow’s Energy Scenarios, outlining decarbonization pathways for NI. Also a steering group member for ENTSOE, he contributes to long-term EU energy scenarios. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
