A lively conversation with plenty of laughs is promised at the EV Café panel session during next week’s Fleet & Mobility Live.

The session is just one of many informative and educational highlights at the free-to-attend show, taking place at the NEC, Birmingham. The EV Café panel session will be held in the Fleet Management Theatre at 2pm on Wednesday (8th October).

Alongside the seminar programme, visitors can explore the exhibition floor, which brings together more than 100 leading fleet suppliers and major car and van manufacturers – making it the perfect chance to compare products and services side by side in just a few hours.

The EV Café session will dive into key topics shaping the industry, including the fleet electrification ecosystem, transition support for fleet managers, the electric van market, charging infrastructure, payments, and more.

Hosted by John Curtis, the panellists are Sara Sloman, Jonny Berry, Paul Kirkby and Sam Clarke.

Kirby said: “We chat, we share, we laugh - and we make sense of all things EV without the boring bits. Think of The EV Café as your pit stop for fresh ideas, honest discussions, and a community that’s rooting for a greener, brighter future on the move.

“So, if you’re curious about EVs, passionate about sustainability, or just looking to plug into a supportive community, you’ll feel right at home here.”
