Overview

With UK Government committing £400 million of their Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund into supporting the installation of charging points nationwide, engineers are now developing strategies on how to best meet consumer demands. Clarifying government strategies, engineering investments, new technologies and the interaction with local authorities is vital in delivering a robust charging network that is fit for purpose.

Hear directly from government and utility companies on how they plan to develop the UK charging network to support the shift towards fully electric mobility, and the roadblocks they face. Learn about ongoing case studies from local authorities and the role of engineers in facilitating these infrastructure projects. Address the challenge of reinforcing the grid and meeting future charging demand, as well as the role of Vehicle to Grid charging.

Network with engineering thought leaders across both infrastructure and vehicle engineering to discuss the latest technological developments in this field. Connect with experts across the transport industry in our shared exhibition space alongside the International EV Batteries 2018 conference.

Attend EV Infrastructure Engineering to:

Hear directly from Ofgem about government strategies for charging infrastructure nationwide
Meet key decision makers and thought leaders across electric mobility infrastructure projects
Understand about the interface between charging point manufacturers, local government and utilities providers
Network with engineers working on electric vehicle development in our exhibition space

Key programme highlights:

Hear about government investment strategies in developing resilient infrastructure for charging
Learn how utilities are preparing to meet charging demand from a grid perspective, including Vehicle to Grid Charging
Hear about the progress of ongoing infrastructure projects being led by local authorities across the UK, and the role of engineers
Gain insight into the vision of charge point developers for their new technologies
Understand how electric vehicles will interact with the grid, and strategies for ensuring the provision of electricity is reliable and robust
