EV Charging Infrastructure Summit
North America: East
January 28-29, 2025 • Atlanta
Achieving the future of EV reliability and performance
The Edison Electric Institute estimates some 9.6 million charge points will be needed in the U.S. by the end of the decade to support an estimated 18.7 million EVs on the road. As of April 2023, there were 136,513 charging ports at 53,764 public and private stations, according to the U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center. This massive increase in EV charging infrastructure will have important implications for the grid, and present stakeholders with significant challenges - and opportunities.
Organized by the Smart Grid Observer, the 6th EV Charging Infrastructure Summit - North America, East, January 28-29, 2025 in Atlanta convenes top industry experts and utility professionals to examine how growing EV adoption rates will impact the network, and what investments are needed to ensure grid stability and benefit.
