Insight and advice on workplace charging at this year’s Fleet & Mobility Live (video)

Fleet electrification pioneers will offer their learnings and knowledge when it comes to installing workplace chargers at this year’s Fleet & Mobility Live.

Topics covered will include how to tender for the right EV charging hardware, pitfalls to avoid, booking and scheduling considerations for drivers, the role of DNOs – civils, hardware and software, benefits of solar power, battery storage and wind turbines, and how best to future proof your charging infrastructure.

The two-day show, which is being held on October 8-9 at the NEC, Birmingham, will feature a packed schedule of expert best practice and case studies that tackle the most pressing issues facing fleet and mobility professionals.

Panellists in the session, sponsored by Octopus Electroverse which is also the show’s premium sponsor, are:

• Bob Murphy, technical executive, Scottish Power
• Sara Sloman, chief strategy officer at Paythru and director of The EV Café
• Chris Demetriou, assistant director of corporate fleet, transport & accessible community transport, London Borough of Islington.

More than 30 key speakers are already confirmed to offer expert advice and share best practice for running safe and compliant car and van fleets in a packed schedule of panel discussions and presentations.

With more speakers to be confirmed over the coming weeks, fleet and mobility decision-makers simply cannot afford to miss this free-to-attend event that offers them the opportunity to learn, connect and share experiences.

This year the event will have three theatres delivering fleet-specific content:

Fleet Fundamentals Theatre: this will look at some of the everyday basics of running a fleet, such as safety, compliance and electrification. 

Strategy & Leadership Theatre: Focusing on areas of the sector having the greatest effect on the way fleets operate, offering advice and insight to give fleet decision-makers the confidence to make the right decisions and form the best strategies.

Fleet Matrix Theatre: Aimed at HR, finance and procurement professionals, sessions in this theatre will recognise that fleet responsibilities can be part of other departments across an organisation.

Content for the show has been developed by the show’s visitor advisory board (VAB) which is made up of HR and fleet professionals (see below), whose fleets range from fewer than 100 vehicles to more than 1,000.

Seminar content for panel discussions and presentations will appeal to car and van fleet managers, travel/mobility managers, procurement, finance or HR and will help support the development of skills and talent throughout fleet.

The ECV Café will also be at the show offering tips and advice on making the switch to zero emissions vehicles.
