Rideshare is doing more than electrifying. It’s charging up EV awareness. Today, one in four Uber riders experience their first EV ride through the platform, and drivers on Uber are switching to electric vehicles five times faster than the general public. Behind this momentum is a comprehensive strategy: pairing drivers with experienced EV mentors, and offering test drives, incentives, and leasing programs. Yet reaching Uber’s zero-emissions goal by 2040 is not something the company can achieve alone. It will take coordinated action across government, industry and nonprofit sectors to expand charging infrastructure, improve EV affordability and deliver targeted incentives for high-mileage drivers. Join Rebecca Tinnuci, the driving force behind Uber’s global electrification and sustainability strategy, for a look at what’s working globally—and what’s needed next to ensure this shift accelerates.

General Motors jumped to the top-selling EV brand in Canada in the last quarter of 2024, and continues its lead into Q1 2025. The company is strategically rolling out electrified versions of some of Canada’s most familiar vehicles –from the Equinox to the Escalade – while making significant investments in dedicated EV platforms and securing a North American battery and mineral supply chain. This conversation will explore what it takes to stay on course in a volatile market and how GM is positioning itself for long-term competitiveness in the electric era.

As we look to build out robust charging infrastructure for moving goods, innovative ports have become key hubs to enable electrification. From fast-charging for freight trucks to electric cargo handling equipment and battery storage onsite, ports are prime examples of leadership in the zero-emissions transition. Come hear from experts with lessons that can apply to fleet and terminal operators, as well as those looking to install charging infrastructure suitable for heavy-duty vehicles or ensuring resiliency of operations in power outages.

Uptime, cost control and achieving business outcomes are essential to commercial fleets, but electric fleets aren’t “set it and forget it” systems. Every breakdown — whether it’s a failed charge, driving conditions that leave a truck stranded or an IT team struggling to solve a software glitch after an update – creates ripple effects across the organization. In this session, we’ll go beyond the theory and dig into real-world lessons learned from three very different fleet types: terminal tractors, transit buses and last-mile delivery vans and trucks. Learn what fleet operators, truck dealers and charging suppliers are seeing on the ground and their best practices to minimize disruptions and ensure assets perform as intended – and at the lowest cost.
