As we continue to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of electric vehicles, there’s no better place to gather, learn, and share than California—an epicenter of innovation and a leader in the EV revolution. You are invited to the 3rd Annual National Electric Vehicle Consortium (NEVC) Conference, taking place from February 19-21, 2025, at Chabot College in Hayward, California.

This year’s theme, “Let’s Learn from California,” draws inspiration from the state’s pioneering efforts in electric vehicle adoption and sustainability. Just as the world will turn its eyes to California for the upcoming Olympics, the NEVC is bringing together the best minds and practices in EV from across the country to this hub of progress.

Conference Highlights:

• A full day of meetings, featuring keynote speakers, panel discussions, and opportunities to collaborate with industry leaders and peers.
• An exclusive tour of some of California’s most advanced EV facilities, offering firsthand insights into the state’s cutting-edge technologies and infrastructure.
• Professional Development Day for faculty, focused on CYBER, hosted by NCyTE. This session is designed to equip educators with the latest tools and knowledge to prepare the next generation of EV technicians with the cyber knowledge they need.

This conference is not just about learning from California—it’s about sharing our own best practices and expanding our professional networks in the process.
