Description
PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE!
Electric Vehicles are coming, will you be ready!?
In the last five years some amazing advancements in the electric vehicle industry and new EV infrastructure investments are on the horizon here in Chester County and all across the country.
Within the IIJA (and other federal funding initiatives) electric vehicle grants have become available to states and municipalities. EV industry advancements, combined with federal and state investments, continue to build consumer confidence and establish a fertile environment for EV growth to occur within Chester County and beyond.
The foundation for the TMACC EV Summit is PennDOT’s newly released EV Mobility Plan and the objective is to help governments, municipalities, developers, and business owners understand EV issues and opportunities through industry professionals.
The Summit will cover topics such as ordinances, fleet transition, funding opportunities, and much more. Anyone connected to transportation in any way is encouraged to attend this comprehensive event!
TMACC has collaborated with partners: PECO, DVRPC, and PennDOT to develop this program where we can all learn from industry experts as well as TMACC members who are working within the EV space.
