On World EV Day, we celebrate the vast leaps we’ve made in EV technology, share the benefits of adopting EVs, and encourage the wider transition to sustainable transportation.
The UK’s EV market is thriving, and EVCharge Live has risen to meet its needs. We go behind the scenes with Claudia Davidson, General Manager – Infrastructure at Terrapinn, who is working behind the scenes to ensure EVCharge Live UK meets industry experts where they are.
“What excites us most is how the market is broadening – investment is moving into fleets, storage solutions, grid upgrades and new business models.”
Why launch EVCharge Live UK now?
The UK charging market has shifted from vision to delivery. EV adoption is rising fast, government targets are ambitious, and serious investment is being made in infrastructure.
That creates the need for a national meeting point where everyone involved – policy makers, operators, investors and innovators – can come together.
By co-locating with Solar & Storage Live, we’re taking it a step further. The show will connect EV charging with renewable generation, energy storage and grid flexibility.
That’s where the big opportunities lie – in bi-directional charging, in turning EVs into an energy asset, and in creating a smarter, cleaner system that benefits everyone.
On World EV Day, what UK milestones stand out?
We’re celebrating over a million EVs now on UK roads, and a charging network that’s grown by more than 50% in the last two years. Rapid and ultra-rapid hubs are becoming the new norm.
But what excites us most is how the market is broadening – investment is moving into fleets, storage solutions, grid upgrades and new business models.
We’re also seeing innovative payment systems and bi-directional charging projects gaining real traction. These milestones show that EVs are no longer just about vehicles – they’re becoming a core part of the energy ecosystem.
What does the industry need next – and how will the show help?
The industry needs a clear long-term policy, faster grid connections, a bigger, skilled workforce and charging that’s genuinely customer-friendly. But we also need to think beyond today’s challenges.
Storage, vehicle-to-grid, and the integration of charging with energy flexibility are going to be critical. EVCharge Live UK is designed to reflect that. We’ll have fresh perspectives from new exhibitors and innovators, alongside established players.
The conference will cover regulation, finance, skills and tech, while the exhibition will showcase everything from next-gen chargers and bi-directional solutions to software that makes charging seamless.
Who should attend, and what will they find?
Anyone shaping the EV charging market – investors, charge point operators, local authorities, fleets, and technology providers.
Attendees will get both strategic debate and practical insight. They’ll hear how investment flows are shifting, how fleets are managing transition, and how local authorities are navigating rollout.
On the show floor, there’ll be a mix of established names and new exhibitors bringing fresh ideas, especially around energy storage and bi-directional charging.
And because the event is co-located with Solar & Storage Live, it’s also the perfect place to explore how EVs link into wider energy innovation.
Where is the show heading in future?
We want EVCharge Live UK to become the annual home of the sector – the place where the industry comes together to do business and shape its future.
Over time, the show will broaden as the market broadens. Expect to see more on new business models, international case studies and the deep integration of EV charging with renewable energy, storage, and smart city infrastructure.
Each year, the event will evolve, bringing in new voices, new exhibitors and fresh perspectives that reflect where the industry is really heading.
This series covers the developing electric vehicles market of the UK and its increasing infrastructure, as the nation advances its net-zero goals.
For all things EV, don’t miss out on your free ticket to EVCharge Live UK – taking place 23-25 September 2025.
