Driving Georgia's Future

Georgia is a hub of investment and activity in electric mobility. With a vibrant multi-modal transportation network that includes Atlanta-Hartsfield Jackson International Airport, the Port of Savannah, and an extensive road and rail network, the state is becoming a leader in the adoption of electric mobility technologies for the benefit of the health and resilience of our communities. This 2nd annual meeting will focus on advancing the adoption of electric mobility in the state, the educational programs that we will need to support the growth, and the future of electric mobility in Georgia and beyond its borders.
