Energyside chat with EVgo's CEO Badar Khan and GM's Head of Public Charging Will Hotchkiss

Aug 11 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

The Automotive Press Association and Society of Automotive Analysts invite you to attend an “Energyside” chat with EVgo’s CEO Badar Khan and GM’s Head of Public Charging Will Hotchkiss, moderated by Axios’ Joann Muller, at EVgo and GM’s new flagship charging site at the Meijer store in Warren, Mich., on Tuesday, August 11.

The Energyside chat will explore how the industry is powering progress in EV infrastructure and elevating the charging experience. Topics include:

• The evolution of U.S. public charging and the EV driver experience: What have we learned and how are we applying those lessons for the future?
• Partnerships that power progress: Why collaboration is critical to meeting drivers where they are.
• New tools for drivers: What innovations are improving the charging experience?
• The role of data: Turning insights into action to improve reliability and the customer experience.
• Looking ahead: What will the EV charging experience look like three years from now?

EVgo and GM’s new flagship station features an overhead canopy and pull-through access to accommodate vehicles pulling trailers, a mixture of 12 CCS and NACS stalls, and high-power charging capable of delivering a full charge in as little as 15 minutes, depending on the vehicle.
