Accelerating the sustainable shift to electric vehicles in the UK, EU and North America.
About us
The CEO led, global emobility business forum, accelerating the sustainable shift to electric vehicles in the UK, EU and North America. Alongside the EV SUMMIT UK, 2024 will see the EV SUMMIT launch for the first time in North America, helping propel the emobility transition on both sides of the Atlantic. EV SUMMIT UK | 14-15 May 2025 | Said Business School, University of Oxford Now in its seventh year in the UK, the EV SUMMIT has solidified its position as a leading, high-level, global e-mobility event, renowned for delivering thought leadership and impactful partnerships - notably Europe’s most powerful EV charging hub, in Oxford, UK. Alongside headline partner, Auto Trader UK, the EV SUMMIT will once again bring business leaders and key players working on electric vehicles, energy, information technology and charging infrastructure, to explore how we advance full, battery electric, emobility. EV SUMMIT USA | October 15 2024 | University of Texas, Austin Today, the U.S. emobility transition stands at a pivotal juncture. While EV sales have experienced notable growth, the development of infrastructure is urgently required to sustain momentum. Supported by headline partner EY, the EV SUMMIT USA will spark the same level of collaboration and partnership seen in the UK, driving the American e-mobility sector forward and sustaining its crucial industry growth trajectory.
