Over the past year, rapid advancements in technology have shaped electric vehicles (EVs) into viable, green alternatives for future personal transport. However, the question remains: which will come first? EVs or the infrastructure to power them? Despite the increasing capabilities of EVs, the lack of a unified recharging infrastructure has continued to impede their acceptance into the mass market, creating a "chicken and egg" situation. Recent government funding initiatives, consumer acceptance and key investments by major OEMs have demonstrated the substantial environmental benefits and economic importance of these vehicles. Implementing these initiatives and charging infrastructures effectively, along with the latest in recharging technology advancements, will make the transition to low-carbon vehicles a reality.

This conference offers a timely opportunity for stakeholders, investors and business representatives from the auto and utility industries to share their own experiences and exchange ideas in order to gain a key understanding of infrastructure requirements, charging technology and development opportunities as the uptake electric vehicles begin to expand around the globe. In addition, this session will provide an invaluable opportunity for delegates to expand their business network, as well as identify future obstacles that must be overcome in order to create a unified and advanced electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
