Strategic Communications Working Group

Veloz’s Strategic Communications Working Group goals are to address misleading headlines, bust myths, facilitate fact sharing about EVs in the press, bring in expert speakers to present on key topics, data, and messaging, amplify each other’s work, and produce industry talking points to advance EVs.

The group of over 50 communications and policy professionals from over 25 member and partner organizations convenes every other month to discuss high-priority industry topics, communications pain points facing the working group members, and opportunities to find solutions in collaboration.
