-- Building on the outstanding legacy of the London to Brighton to Paris and Geneva electric vehicle rallies, the organisers are thrilled to unveil the Powered Up Conference 2025, a landmark event at the heart of the EV revolution. Hosted at the prestigious London Transport Museum in Covent Garden, this free, invitation-only conference will unite leading minds and key players from the electric vehicle sector to drive discussions on the future of sustainable transport.
From exploring state-of-the-art charging solutions to addressing accessibility challenges and infrastructure demands, this conference will tackle the critical issues shaping the transition to electric mobility. Featuring industry giants such as Landis+Gyr, Believ, Motability Operations, The BPA, and Everything Electric, the team behind the Fully Charged shows and “Stop burning stuff” campaigns will join innovators like EVjuiceNgo, char.gy, and Compleo. The event promises to be a milestone in advancing the EV agenda.
As Robert Harper of Landis+Gyr aptly stated, “We are hugely excited to be a partner with this extremely well-put-together and targeted event. At Landis+Gyr, we pride ourselves on producing high-quality products and services. This event allows us to talk to those who appreciate those values.”
Guy Bartlett, Believ CEO said, "Believ is thrilled to be a lead partner in this event. The insightful list of panel discussions have been designed to help unpick the challenges we face in rolling out EV charging infrastructure at the required pace and scale. It promises to be an important and productive conference.”
The event will also showcase EVjuiceNgo’s forward-thinking approach to EV infrastructure: “Our enthusiasm for smart, reliable, efficient EV infrastructure and the V2X future is evident from our team and our investment since 2022. By driving British innovation, creating local jobs, and reducing carbon footprints, we are contributing crucially to the global NetZero future.”
At Compleo we pride ourselves on supporting councils, fleets & car park owners in adding EV chargers. Helping to put the right chargers, in the right place, at the right time. We’re excited to share our expertise with the audience at the conference” Clare Nicol.
At its core, the Powered Up Conference is designed to foster collaboration between industry leaders, local authorities, energy providers, manufacturers, and policymakers. The organisers, who have been at the forefront of EV advocacy since 2011, aim to make this event a springboard for ideas, policy shifts, and strategic partnerships.
The conference opens with remarks from Bill Murray and Harrison Hughes, the event directors. They will set the tone with a clear vision: “Today, we’ll explore how stakeholders can collaborate to create accessible, reliable, and sustainable EV infrastructure. This includes ensuring accessibility for all drivers, enforcing industry standards, and integrating renewable energy solutions.”
Acknowledging the importance of partnerships, they added, “Special thanks to Motability Operations, Landis+Gyr, and Believ, our lead partners, for championing accessibility and innovation in EV charging solutions.”
The Powered Up Conference will feature an opening keynote speech by The Rt Hon Peter Kyle MP, Minister for Innovation, Science and Technology, who will outline the government’s role in supporting EV adoption and infrastructure development. His address will underscore the UK’s commitment to NetZero goals and highlight initiatives driving EV growth.
Five insightful panel sessions will delve into the challenges and opportunities within the EV ecosystem, including partnerships, accessibility, infrastructure installation, and smart technology integration.
The Powered Up Conference will shine a spotlight on the critical importance of accessibility in EV infrastructure. With the participation of Motability Operations, this event will prioritise inclusive design, ensuring that charging stations cater to the needs of all drivers, including those with disabilities.
“We must make accessibility a core requirement for the EV industry,” said one of the organisers. “This means going beyond compliance and engaging with communities to understand their needs. Our panels will address how accessibility can be embedded into tenders and policies, ensuring that no one is left behind in the EV transition.”
In addition to thought-provoking panel discussions, the conference offers unparalleled networking opportunities for attendees. Fleet managers, manufacturers, policymakers, and energy providers will connect to share ideas, forge partnerships, and discuss collaborative approaches to advancing the EV industry.
Attendees can look forward to engaging with representatives from Believ, EDF Energy, char.gy, and council reps from among others Sussex, Hampshire, Brighton & Hove, Cambridge and Hounslow.
The event will also feature case studies highlighting successful deployments of EV infrastructure in regions such as Somerset and Hertfordshire, showcasing how tailored solutions can meet local needs while advancing national goals.
