Event Report

The virtual event was an extension of monthly meeting of New Jersey EVA. The goal was to highlight the collaboration with New Jersey Clean Cities. Recently, both organizations have been working together more closely to leverage their expertise and to broaden their outreach.
Unfortunately, due to family reasons, NJ Clean Cities had to step away and we were lucky to secure alternative program:

Agenda
- chapter report - (Mario Caballero, VP, NJEVA)
- EV News you can use
- Are EV road trips more difficult in 2026? - Mario Caballero
- Strategic positioning of EVs as mobile energy storage - Pam Frank (CEO, ChargEVC - Senior VP, Gabel Associates - Board Director, Plug In America)
- Conversation on the most burning topics - Ashley Lynn Qua (Policy Lead, NJEVA - Board Director, EVA)

The event attracted audiences from Montreal (Canada) to Grenada (island in Carribean) and the audience was very engaging. Link to the recording is attached to this report.
