Join us for The Business of Plugging InSM, the Motor City’s second plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) conference, driving intelligent discussion in the year that production PEVs will hit U.S. roads.

Uniting automotive, utility and new technology thought-leaders with policy makers, financiers and researchers, The Business of Plugging In is an event international in scope and enterprising in nature. Addressing PEVs and the business model that will support their introduction and future growth, the conference plays a critical role in developing the global PEV market.

This year, we invite you to continue the conversation and discover first-hand the advancements made in this dynamic industry.
