Beyond the chargepoint: Leading the EV transition across workforce, customers & communities

How strategic leadership can build skilled and diverse teams, inclusive customer experiences and community-centred infrastructure to accelerate electric mobility.

This panel, organised by Solar+ Leaders and the Women in Solar+ Europe (WiSEu) Network, explores how putting people at the centre of EV charging can support a more inclusive, accessible and successful transition to electric mobility.

• Building a skilled and diverse workforce: The technical, digital and human competencies the sector needs, and how diversity can strengthen teams, support innovation and better reflect the customers they serve.
• Creating inclusive customer experiences: How accessibility, safety, usability and affordability can ensure charging infrastructure serves the full diversity of EV users.
• Developing community-centred infrastructure: How engaging local communities and understanding their different mobility needs can build trust, expand equitable access and accelerate adoption.
