Charging Forward: What’s Next for EVs and Vehicle-to-Grid Innovation (Speaker Series)
The EV industry is entering a new chapter and it’s about much more than cars.
Join Climate Conscious Leaders for a virtual panel discussion exploring what’s next for EV adoption, infrastructure, policy, and vehicle-to-grid innovation. Together, we’ll unpack how EVs are evolving from transportation products into connected energy assets and what that shift could mean for consumers, utilities, businesses, and the future of the grid.
