Business Post Electric Vehicle Summit & Expo 2025
Ireland’s leading EV infrastructure and electric fleet event
the event starts in
Now in its 11th year, the EV Summit & Expo is Ireland’s only high-level event providing thought leadership and commercial outcomes for the EV ecosystem.
The event will be taking place on the 25th September 2025 in the RDS, Dublin bringing together the entire industry under one roof!
Themes for 2025:
CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE & ENERGY: Get a detailed update on shifting regulations, the national charging network, grid advancements and key emobility projects on the horizon from both the public and private sector. Unearth the latest hardware and software innovations that are enhancing the charging experience.
SUSTAINABLE FLEET: fleet managers across Ireland are being set significant EV targets but getting there comes with complex challenges. This year the summit will showcase both domestic and international case studies on sustainable fleet management, tackling challenges such as clarity on government incentives such as BIK, driver buy-in and training and the charging models and software solutions that will work for your fleet and the bottom-line.
EV SALES & SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTION: According to the SIMI, new electric cars registrations saw a decrease of 23.6% in 2024. But good news, so far this year we have seen a 25.1% increase compared to the same time in 2024 but the work isn’t over. With geopolitical and economic uncertainty, particularly within the climate agenda, a collaborative approach is needed to keep the pace of electrification. Experts will discuss how we can stabilise the global supply chain and which markets are taking the lead in the EV competition race. How can we navigate the intersection between the EV revolution and geopolitics.
TRANSPORT ELECTRIFICATION: Hear from experts leading key electrification and decarbonisation projects across the transport system including spotlights on the DART+ Fleet and Bus Éireann’s electric bus fleet. Learn what technologies are being deployed to achieve carbon neutral mobility.
