Communications Working Group

Veloz’s Communications Working Group goals are to facilitate fact sharing about EVs in the press, bring in expert speakers to present on key topics, data, and messaging, amplify each other’s work, and produce industry fact sheets to advance EVs.

The group of nearly 100 communications professionals from 40 member and partner organizations convenes every quarter to discuss high-priority industry topics, communications pain points facing the working group members, and opportunities to find solutions in collaboration.
