On July 31, Veloz convened its board leadership, EV industry V.I.P.s, and influential state agencies for a trip down the Sacramento River aboard the S.S. Veloz!
Gathering nearly 90 visionaries and leaders from over 25 public and private organizations across the EV industry, the evening was an opportunity to network and discuss both immediate actions and long-term strategies that will ensure a sustainable and equitable EV future.
Purposeful convening is part of our secret sauce and our Electric For All vision is only possible with our world-class members and partners from both the public and private sectors.
