EVs & Beyond’s The EVent conference, that was set to take place at the start of March, is now scheduled for April 12 and 13.
The delay was triggered by Auckland’s COVID-19 lockdown, but with that issue – knock on wood – now clear, the event is set to go ahead.
The conference will again be held on ‘Electric Island’ Waiheke, with almost the same series of knowledgeable and influential speakers.
“We are pleased to get the show on the road again after our enforced delay,” conference manager Deborah Baxter says. “It is as good, if not better, than the originally planned event, with virtually all the original speakers on board.” “The positive to the delay is it means more
people with an interest in the electric world can register and make the EV event of the year.”
Key speakers include:
- Climate Change Commission chair Rod Carr,
- UBCO NZ chief executive Timothy Allan,
- Auckland Transport bus fleet transition specialist Steve Zahorodny,
- ChargeNet NZ chief executive and co-founder Steve West,
- ElectricAir founder Gary Freedman,
- Consultant Liz Yeaman,
- Aaron Gillon of YHI,
- and former MG New Zealand country manager Anthony MacLean.
The conference also covers the heavy vehicle trade, with Alsco’s Gavin Smith accounting for the firm’s real world experience operating a heavy truck.
Andrew Clennett of Hiringa Energy talks about hydrogen production and distribution, while Gavin Young from Hyundai New Zealand outlines prospects for hydrogen power.
The first day wraps up with a networking dinner with Kiwi rally driver Hayden Paddon the guest speaker.
