EV World Congress 2023: the EV charging conference for UK & Europe

With EV sales witnessing a 60% year-on-year growth and constituting 16% of the market share, it is imperative that infrastructure expansion remains ahead of the game.

EV World Congress offers an opportunity to connect with leading professionals in the field, acquire invaluable knowledge, and influence the direction of the EV charging infrastructure landscape.

90% of local authorities have not yet put in place an electric vehicle charging infrastructure plan, with time constraints being the primary barrier, closely trailed by funding shortages. Furthermore, electric vehicle users are increasingly looking for more convenient charging solutions at places they regularly frequent, such as supermarkets, shopping centres, hotels, and workplaces. A recent survey conducted by YouGov in partnership with CTEK highlights a significant trend, with 29% of electric vehicle drivers now depending on public or destination charging stations.

Evidently, there remains a sense of hesitation when it comes to kickstarting the process of installing charge point infrastructure. This is where the exchange of insights with colleagues, as well as collaboration with investors and seasoned charge point installation experts, can accelerate the rollout of EV charging infrastructure for both businesses and local authorities.

Therefore, EV World Congress’s objective is to unite the foremost authorities in the UK, in addition to global experts, to facilitate knowledge-sharing, deliberate on emerging trends, and envision the future of sustainable mobility.

The Congress, taking place 10-11 October at the Novotel in London, features a dynamic programme of keynote speeches, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, all aimed at accelerating the transition to a cleaner, greener transportation system.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Fleet electrification
• Finance & investment
• Charging infrastructure
• Battery technology & energy storage
• Grid reinforcement & V2G
• User experience & interoperability
• Policy & regulation
• Last mile & urban logistics

The opening keynote will be led by Julia Pallé, Sustainability Director, Formula E. She will share her expertise on the future of EV charging infrastructure and the role of the private sector in driving the transition to sustainable mobility. Attendees will gain a unique perspective on the state of the EV market and the latest trends and innovations in the industry.

Other featured talks include developing an EV charging infrastructure strategy for London, how Uber is targeting an all-electric London fleet by 2025 and addressing the challenges of electric trucks.

Day two features a keynote panel moderated by Jamie Hamilton, Head of Electric Vehicles and Automotive Partner, Deloitte. Speakers from Ford Motor Company, Volvo Cars, SMMT, Climate Group, and Something Other: Growth Architects will discuss the future of electric vehicles and what car manufacturer’s strategies are.

Further talks include navigating the second-hand EV market, strategies for successful EV funding applications, and how wireless charging could be implemented to support vehicles.

Overall, the show is designed to inspire, educate, and connect those in the industry.

Fleet owners can learn how to reduce the total cost of ownership of vehicles, utilising innovative smart charging and V2G technologies. Government and local authorities can understand how to successfully plan, install, and maintain charging infrastructure with behind-the-scenes insights from leading councils. Transport authorities can hear the latest strategies to electrify and support electric buses, and institution investors can get insight into accessing investment opportunities and the latest business from leading global investors in charging infrastructure.

With over 100 speakers across three different streams, 600+ attendees are expected.
