August 15, 2023 – 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. Navigating the Transformation Webinar: The Influence of Electric Vehicles and EVSEs on the Wisconsin Manufacturing Supply Chain

Electric vehicles and the associated need for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) infrastructure to support large scale adoption of vehicles into personal and commercial ownership provides a massive opportunity.  Supply chain and workforce needs ranging from component manufacturing to the training of technicians to support installation and IT aspects is a guaranteed pathway for economic involvement for the foreseeable future.

Now is the perfect time to understand market needs, funding availability, and catapult Wisconsin forward as an important piece of this transition.

Wisconsin’s Automotive Manufacturing sector is one of our greatest assets, employing over 92,000 people, and possessing a rich economic and cultural legacy.  With the ability to supply components that are shared between ICE and EV opportunities exist for an easy transition and expansion.  Funding opportunities from state and federal sources are available to expand facilities and develop the needed workforce.  Challenges exist, related to efficiency, automation, and innovation, which require solutions moving forward.

Join our webinar today to learn more about the importance of this emerging market, the status of Wisconsin, hear from active manufacturers, and gain an understanding of Buy America Requirements.
