Dear [supervisor’s name],
This is a request for approval to attend the EV Roadmap Conference, July 20-21 in Portland, Oregon.
EV Roadmap has established itself as one of the leading electric vehicle conferences in the United
States and provides a graduate course in electric vehicle deployment and business strategy.
Widespread electric vehicle adoption requires a supportive ecosystem of stakeholders, from utilities
and local governments to vehicle OEMs, charging providers, interest groups, and drivers. EV Roadmap
will bring all of these stakeholders together in a highly interactive format to explore emerging trends
and share best practices. More information is available online: http://www.evroadmapconference.com/
Registration includes:

Educational Content – Two days of keynotes, all group plenary panels and breakout
sessions.

Post-Event Resources - Access to download 100+ speaker presentations.

Exhibit Hall – Featuring 40+ exhibitors and community partners in transportation
electrification.

Evening Reception – Ability to connect with 300 stakeholders in a relaxed atmosphere.
EV Roadmap 9 programming will be organized around three tracks:
Cars. This track will focus on strategies that work to dramatically accelerate electric vehicle sales.
Sessions will explore effective marketing strategies, best practices, and the impacts of incentives.
Charging. Charging infrastructure is evolving quickly to meet the needs of millions of new electric
vehicle drivers. This track will explore how to make charging easier, faster, and more commonplace.
Community. The community track will focus on the broader "ecosystem" needed for the market to
expand. Sessions will explore the changes needed in utility operations and regulation, public policy,
and how electric mobility will expand beyond private automobiles.
