The morning will start with a shared plenary session with attendees of the Battery Show South, Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo and Energy Storage Summit. Sessions will include detail on the state of the industry, cost of raw materials and the direction of travel for manufacturing and R&D. These plenary sessions will be led by CxO speakers before allowing the audience to break down into four detailed streams of content. There will be a short morning break, allowing for networking with attendees and exhibitors.
Goldman Sachs projects that electric vehicles (EVs) could exceed 50% of new car sales by 2035, as both established and emerging automakers and EV startups compete for market share. This shift aligns with the energy transition and rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). In this era of transformation, how can fleet operators, electric power providers, grid managers, cities, and potential charging network hosts stay ahead? What recommendations can industry leaders offer to policymakers to ensure market stability?
The U.S. electric grid is confronting several critical challenges, including an increasing electricity demand, aging power infrastructure, and insufficient investment over the past decade. These issues are impeding progress and discouraging the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). This session will answer the big question around upgrading the grid:
The uptake of EVs will present new challenges and opportunities for metropolitan transportation planning agencies. In this session, ARC will present their Regional Transportation Electrification Plan, which outlines a strategic approach for the Atlanta region to effectively address EV challenges and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
This session is designed for OEMs and charging networks to hear directly from fleet managers. It will explore the pressures commercial fleet managers face and assess the impact that EVs could have on operations.
Join us as we ease into the end of day one with this interactive discussion between stakeholders and hear from three very different perspectives on how they make collaboration work, and what keeps them awake at night.
In urban areas, the difficulty of installing home chargers often leaves residents dependent on public charging locations such as supermarkets, malls, and other commercial properties. This session will bring together leaders from major malls, parking lots, cinemas, and hotel chains across the USA to discuss effective strategies for rolling out EV chargers at these key locations. Attendees will gain valuable insights into meeting the rising demand from EV users, ensuring safety, and managing the financial aspects of expanding charging infrastructure.
The transition to an electric future requires significant investment in EV charging infrastructure, and identifying sustainable, scalable financing options is key. This panel brings together experts with different financial offerings to explore green financing, leasing models, public-private partnerships, and commercial loan structures. Panelists will also share perspectives on managing risks, maximizing return on investment, and identifying which financing structures are best suited for various project types and scales.
Deploying new electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure is essential for increasing access and reliability across the country, supporting light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles on highways, interstates, and major roadways. Despite these efforts, range anxiety remains a significant concern for EV owners. This panel will dissect the underlying issues affecting EV charging infrastructure and explore strategies to mitigate these concerns.

Public charging stations are not equally distributed across the U.S., concentrated more heavily in large population centres and wealthy communities and less so in rural areas and smaller cities. This session will focus on the challenges of ensuring equitable access to EV charging, particularly in multi-family housing and underserved communities. We will explore solutions to overcome these barriers and promote widespread adoption.
The shortage of accessible, reliable, and user-friendly EV chargers contributes to range anxiety and remains a significant concern for those hesitant to adopt electric vehicles. According to a recent AAA report, 56% of respondents identified unreliable charging stations as their primary obstacle to making the switch. The takeaway is clear—we must enhance the EV charging experience.
As the US EV market continues to lag behind China and the EU, this session will explore strategies for accelerating growth and closing the gap. This presentation, followed by a panel will discuss key factors driving global competition, policy adjustments, and innovative approaches needed for the US to catch up and lead the future of electric mobility.
This session will tackle the critical challenges related to the workforce and skills gap in the electric vehicle (EV) sector. We’ll explore the shortage of qualified technicians and discuss strategies to address this growing issue.
