Local Authorities

Local authorities play a pivotal role in shaping the EV transition by ensuring charging infrastructure is accessible, equitable, and sustainable. The EV Summit provides actionable insights into deploying charging solutions in diverse communities, from urban centers to rural areas. Key topics include funding models, public-private partnerships, and integrating renewable energy into public charging networks. Attendees will also gain strategies for addressing transportation equity and supporting underserved populations, such as renters and multi-unit dwellers.
