2025 CERV Conference

February 9-12, 2025

The 2025 CERV Conference granted an opportunity for networking, investigating new technology, and increase general awareness and understanding of the global future of transportation electrification. With an emphasis on sharing ideas across industries, attendees benefited from a variety of government, non-profit, industry, and academic presentations as well as technical presentations on various related topics. “What’s Next” was a focus of multiple presentations, inspiring some of the most invigorating discussions throughout the week. The event concluded with the Technology Showcase, allowing participants to view demonstrations of the charging systems at the Electric Vehicle and Roadway ASPIRE facilities in Logan, Utah.

FIRESIDE CHAT

CERV kicked off Sunday with an exciting fireside chat led by Allie Kelly, the executive director of The Ray, and featuring speakers:

  • Joe Sacks, the executive director of American EV Jobs Alliance and EVs for All America,
  • and Ryan L. Bankerd, the director of Automotive Sustainability UPS Corporate.

Together, these speakers shared about the sentiment surrounding electrified roadways and the benefits to continuing electrification efforts as a kick-off to this inspiring conference.

PLENARY SESSIONS & PANELS

Over the next two days, CERV attendees attended plenary sessions and panels led by university representatives, engineers, executive directors, and various other electrification stakeholders. Some of the most intriguing conversations covered What’s Next in Electrified Roadways and Vehicles, ranging from charging stations and dynamic wireless charging to the grid and hydrogen. Below are some highlights from these panels!

CERV SPONSORS TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE

Following the innovative conference, some attendees took advantage of the after-conference tour of the newly expanded ASPIRE Electric Vehicle and Roadway (EVR) research facility in Logan, Utah. This also gave representatives and CERV sponsors a chance to show-off their latest technology with hands-on demonstrations and further networking opportunities.

Thank you all for a fantastic, fulfilling, and successful week! We look forward to seeing you at the next CERV conference!
