Vehicle Electrification Panel Webinar

Given the impact of the coronavirus crisis, we have decided to move our Friday April 17th event at AGU to a webinar! We will learn about new and upcoming policies and implementations in the world of vehicle electrification. Hear from our local experts on how this momentum gaining industry will change how we design and manage buildings, public spaces, and transportation infrastructure as a whole. We will end the afternoon discussing innovative concepts around EV’s and storage.  The event will cover three major topics:
