About this Event

Speaker: David Trousdale

What does it actually take to deliver EV charging at scale - and why do so many projects stall?

Join sustainability and decarbonisation expert David Trousdale for a fast‑paced, real‑world deep dive into the unfiltered realities of delivering EV charge point infrastructure - from the first idea on a page to chargers live on the ground.

This session cuts through the hype to reveal what really matters: the planning traps, technical surprises, stakeholder challenges and delivery decisions that define success or failure. Drawing on frontline experience, David will share practical lessons learned, hard‑won insights and proven approaches to getting projects over the line.

Expect candid reflections from live case studies, combined with insights from David’s book, Electric Vehicle Charge Point Infrastructure: from planning to operation (Institution of Engineering and Technology) - built for those who want outcomes, not theory.

Whether you’re directly involved in charge points, or are just curious, you’ll leave with a clearer picture of how EV charging really gets built - and how cities can move faster towards a cleaner, more connected transport future.
