Will EVs Crash the Grid? Veterans Discuss EVs, National Security, and Grid Resiliency

In honor of National Veterans and Military Families Month, the Electrification Coalition’s Veterans for EVs initiative hosted this webinar to tackle questions surrounding grid resiliency and reveal how EVs can actually make the grid and U.S. national security stronger.

After opening remarks from General Chuck Wald, former deputy commander for the U.S. European Command and EC board member, we were pleased to convene four veterans with extensive experience in the EV and utility industries for this important conversation. Marcy Bauer, senior vice president of deployment for EVgo, moderated discussion between Norman Campbell, federal business development manager for Siemens; Bill Holcomb, energy and technology innovation specialist for the School District of the City of Pontiac; and utility industry expert Sarah Nielsen.

Veterans for EVs also launched a veterans sign-on letter in support of continued federal policy leadership in advanced auto manufacturing. Read and sign the letter.
