The program will be focussing not just on electric vehicles and their introduction on the Australian market but as importantly on their potential impact onto the electricity grid, the
provision of charging infrastructure, the development of appropriate policies, the economics of EV and the role EV will play in making a transition to cleaner and greener transport.
A wide range of key industry leaders will be speaking about their latest experience using EV’s and their objectives from short to long term. CEOs such as Energex’ Terry Effeney or
Chargepoint’s James Brown will be presenting along side senior representatives of state government EV programs from WA, VIC and QLD.

“Electric vehicles are being introduced worldwide while governments, cities or utilities have to resolve challenges around building charging infrastructures, establishing new policies, managing electricity demand etc. Fleet owners ask to better understand the true economics and many other industries are keen to be involved or at least prepared” says Philippe Reboul, Managing Director of EV Conference, the event organiser. “Our conference offers a unique
forum where these points will be addressed with all the key professionals in one place”.

Other aspects surrounding electric vehicles will be discussed such as the Smart Grid, energy
storage/batteries, new technologies and
