The 2025 Electric Vehicle Charging Summit, held from March 25 to 27 in San Diego, California, brought together a diverse array of industry experts and professionals to discuss the latest advancements and challenges in electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. With a focus on site-host selection, EV fleet electrification, utility coordination, and more, the summit covered a wide range of topics aimed at improving the overall EV charging ecosystem.

Over 500 industry professionals attended the summit, including representatives from various utilities, commercial and residential real estate companies, government agencies, and EV charging hardware and software providers. The event featured eight distinct tracks covering specific areas of interest such as site-host selection, EV fleet electrification, utility coordination, commercial and residential real estate, EV charging management hardware and software, innovations in charging infrastructure, government agency coordination, and funding opportunities.

In addition to the main sessions, the summit included pre-summit workshops on March 25th. These workshops covered foundational topics such as the importance of networked chargers and OCPI (Open Charge Point Interface), understanding electric capacity for charging needs, and political considerations for EV adoption. The workshops also delved into practical aspects like applying for federal and state funding for EV projects and essential electrical code considerations for commercial and residential installations.

On the first day of the general summit (March 26), attendees had the opportunity to participate in various workshops that expanded on these initial topics. Notable sessions included an introduction to medium and heavy-duty fleet electrification strategies, a step-by-step guide to securing federal and state funding for EV projects, and discussions on V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) technology. These sessions provided valuable insights into practical implementation strategies for those looking to integrate EV charging infrastructure into their operations.

The summit concluded with a networking event where attendees could connect with speakers and other professionals. This facilitated further discussions on emerging trends in the field of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

Overall, the 2025 Electric Vehicle Charging Summit successfully brought together key stakeholders in the industry to share knowledge and foster collaboration towards creating a more sustainable future powered by electric vehicles.
