    “The EV market is expected to see a major boom over the next decade, but the transition is still in its early stages and requires supportive technology and policies,” said Zolaikha Strong, the Energy Policy & Electrical Markets director for CDA. “Our summit will put you in the driver seat as private and public sector leaders lay out the roadmap to what’s next for EV technology. As we advance toward a green energy revolution, copper is powering EVs and fueling our drive to sustainability."

    There are currently close to one million plug-in EVs on the road in the U.S. By 2025, this number is expected to reach nearly eight million. Copper is key to this electric vehicle revolution as it is needed for motors, batteries, inverters, wires and charging stations.
