Welcome to this event, where leading automotive manufacturers will meet with electrical charge port developers, electrical grid operators, city planners, and policymakers to explore and establish robust electrical infrastructure and charge ports to meet the needs of a new generation of electric vehicles.
In just over a decade, electric vehicle ownership is estimated to reach 5 million units in California alone, leading to an ever-increasing need for EV charging ports to meet the demands of the e-mobility market. With the approval of $437 million in funding in 2020, California will build thousands of electric vehicles charging stations, making it the largest-ever utility program to include over 40,000 charge ports across the state.
While charging technology has evolved faster, electrical infrastructure development across the US has remained challenging. According to a recent report by McKinsey & Company, EV charging-energy demand for electric vehicles could reach 53 billion kilowatt-hours by 2030, a 20-fold increase needed to support the upcoming tide of electric vehicles.
This year’s event is set to become the world’s leading exhibition and conference exclusively for the automotive and electrical power industry to meet and collaborate with a large array of charge port developers and policymakers to examine new developments in electrical infrastructure and charge port technologies and address how the industry plans to support the growing use of electric vehicles.
Key topics on this year’s agenda include:
• EV charging infrastructure and e-Mobility industry forecasts
• Exploring the next generation of smart and efficient EV charging ports
• Latest research in V2X Technology and Ultra-Fast charging for electric vehicles
• Evaluating the current policies and future plans for cities and network development
• Upcoming regulations and industry standards for developing intelligent infrastructure
• New case studies from charge port developers and working with policymakers
This event will provide a forum for all stakeholders across the automotive and electrical industries to network, build cross-market relationships, and explore new technologies and innovations addressing the real challenges of electrical infrastructure and e-mobility growth.
