This roundtable will explore how the electric vehicle market and charging infrastructure landscape are changing, how public utilities are adapting to these shifts, their progress made to date, what challenges they face and the critical next steps needed to ensure a resilient and equitable transition. Participants will hear utility perspectives, share insights, and consider how collaboration can accelerate the region’s path forward.
