EV Conferences

2025-2026 EV Conferences & Events




The global EV and electrification ecosystem is anchored by a series of annual industry events where automakers, suppliers, utilities, policymakers, and technology leaders converge. These conferences and trade shows highlight new EV models, battery chemistries, charging standards, autonomy breakthroughs, and supply chain innovations. They also serve as critical networking hubs for investors, EPCs, OEMs, and researchers shaping the future of mobility and energy.

Future Outlook & Trends

  • EVSE & Battery Expos: The fastest-growing segment, reflecting supply chain bottlenecks and gigafactory buildouts (e.g., Battery Show NA/EU).
  • Fleet & Infrastructure Events: ACT Expo and MOVE America are rising as EVSE depots and fleet electrification dominate headlines.
  • AV/Autonomy Integration: Robotics and AI sessions are expanding at mobility conferences (CES, MOVE, Autonomy Paris).
  • Globalization: China and Europe host increasingly influential events that shape supply chain trends far beyond their borders.
  • Cross-Sector Convergence: Expect tighter integration of battery, solar, BESS, and grid content at EV-focused events as energy autonomy becomes a central theme.
