The forum is led by Veloz, a public-private coalition of major electric industry stakeholders and sponsored by San Diego Gas & Electric. Veloz is the coalition behind the public awareness campaign, “Electric For All,” which aims to educate and inspire Californians to drive electric to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, fight climate change and clean the air we all breathe.

To date, more than 100 people have signed up to attend the conference. Attendees will include representatives from nonprofit organizations, local government, charging infrastructure providers, venture capital investors, automakers, California energy companies, transportation network companies, and state agencies, such as the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

Mary Nichols, CARB’s chair, will be the keynote speaker. Panel discussions include:

• San Diego's initiatives on electric cars, infrastructure and incentives
• Accelerating charging station deployment – challenges and opportunities
• Update from Electrify America about its efforts to build an ultrafast and convenient charging network
