Agenda
Official Opening of the Inside EV Charging Summit
Join Bart Saunders as he kicks off the premier gathering for EV charging industry leaders. Setting the stage for a day of breakthrough insights, this opening welcomes attendees to explore the cutting-edge strategies, technologies, and partnerships shaping the future of electric mobility in North America.
US EV Charging Outlook with BloombergNEF
Opening the summit with a comprehensive assessment of where the US charging market stands heading into 2026. Drawing on quarterly tracking of deployment trends and commercial activity, this keynote examines infrastructure build-out velocity, the shift from equity to debt financing, and emerging patterns in charger utilization and network economics, providing the market intelligence foundation for the day’s practitioner-focused sessions.
Priorities for Deploying Infrastructure at State Level
State agencies and program administrators reveal what they’re looking for in charging infrastructure projects. Learn which deployments get funded, what success looks like for different states, and how to align your projects with state priorities. Discover the benefits for drivers and communities when infrastructure is deployed strategically.
Solving the Hidden EV Charging Reliability Challenge
High uptime doesn’t guarantee a positive driver experience. Discover why 35% of charge failures happen before charging even begins, as chargers appear “available” but fail the moment drivers plug in.
Don’t Just Fix Chargers. Fix the Experience.
Join industry leaders as they tackle the critical question: What will it take to meet driver expectations and achieve the reliability targets needed for mainstream EV adoption by 2026 and beyond?
CPO Playbook: Defeating Fragmentation to Scale Plug & Charge
Plug & Charge promises seamless EV charging, but ISO 15118 deployment remains fragmented and complex. Discover how network operators can leverage roaming hubs, ensure cross-network reliability, and maximize interoperability.
EV Charging 2.0: How Retail-First, AI-Driven Charging Infrastructure Becomes the Next Growth Engine for Modern Retailers
First-generation charging prioritized speed and reliability. EV Charging 2.0 transforms chargers into digital touchpoints and parking lots into commerce platforms. Discover how AI and real-time retail data create experiences that drive measurable ROI: higher visit frequency, larger baskets, increased loyalty enrollment, and new onsite revenue streams.
To Be Announced
EV Charging Growth and What’s Next
This keynote provides a grounded look at how EV charging is expanding across the U.S. and what that progress means for drivers and communities. Emily Durham, Vice President of Legal and Government Affairs at Electrify America, will highlight key milestones from 2024, share how the network continued to grow throughout 2025, and offer a look at the plans shaping the next wave of progress in 2026.
State of Hardware & Infrastructure Roll-Out in North America
Leading hardware manufacturers assess where North American infrastructure deployment stands today. Where are the bottlenecks – supply chain, permitting, installation capacity, or commissioning? How do current deployment timelines compare to 2025? Panelists share real data on what’s working, what’s causing delays, and the infrastructure decisions that will define 2026 rollout success across different site types and power levels.

Closing of the Inside EV Charging Summit
Turn 2025 lessons into 2026 decisions
This half-day program brings together expert voices across the US ecosystem to focus on what actually changes outcomes – profitability, reliability in practice, and policy that accelerates use.
You will learn:
Profitability levers – what actually moves site P&L (utilization thresholds, revenue mix, controllable costs)
Reliability in practice – from signal to field ops (maintenance loops, uptime baselines, quality at scale)
Policy & interoperability that drive use – state-level deployment priorities, incentives & interconnection, Plug & Charge readiness
Deployment & scale – hardware & infrastructure rollout, commissioning, and reducing time-to-live without trading off quality
Roaming & data – interoperability economics and data quality/telemetry that impact utilization and CX
