About
The BEV In Depth: Mines to Mobility conference is taking place from May 31-June 1, 2023 at Cambrian College of Applied Arts and Technology in Sudbury, Ontario.
Building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, this year’s BEV In-Depth: Mines to Mobility conference will continue to advance the conversation towards a fully integrated battery electric supply chain in Ontario and throughout Canada.
From mines to mobility, where north meets south, this event focuses on the entire BEV supply chain and forges relationships between leaders in mining, automotive, battery technology, transportation, and green energy. It is also highly informative for government and non-government organizations engaged in economic development and policy implementation for a decarbonized and electrified economy.
With the wealth of information and speakers at this year’s event, we have expanded by offering a full two-day conference program featuring a mix of plenary and technical sessions. This year’s event includes a diverse display of battery electric vehicles and equipment accessible to conference delegates and the public.
