2025 PLMA EV Symposium
on Managed Charging
August 26-27, 2025
Join us
If EVs are your avocation or even your passion, join us again this summer for PLMA’s EV Symposium on Managed Charging!
This action-packed event will begin by addressing recent industry learnings and experiences with EVs and EV grid impacts including managed charging, V2X applications, and emerging EV opportunities. On the second day, we’ll delve into the challenges and barriers to widespread EV adoption, and the ways we can continue to mitigate these.
Throughout the symposium, you’ll gain access to important practitioner learnings, opportunities, and challenges in a collegial environment of industry peers and professionals. In addition, you can count on PLMA to host robust networking with 200+ utility and auto OEM professionals, learn about new and interesting product and service offerings from our sponsors, and actively participate in this important exploration of the EV revolution to date.
We look forward to welcoming you!
