Please join us for an exclusive opportunity to collaborate with the Drive Electric membership.
You will gain insight on successful international EV policy implementation, have the opportunity to help shape the regulatory environment for the EV sector in Aotearoa New Zealand and connect with Drive Electric members, SBN members and leaders of the EV ecosystem.
The event has two sessions:
- Networking breakfast (7:30 - 8:30am): Featuring a live address from James Vickery, head of the ZEV Regulation (Policy) at the UK Office for Zero Emission Vehicles. Gain insights into the UK's e-mobility policy and how it can inform New Zealand's EV transition.
- Policy workshop (8:45 - 9:45am): Collaborate with key members and industry partners to develop tangible regulation, policy and legislation recommendations for government. The workshop component is limited to 20 attendees.
