Future of Travel Mobility Series: Making the Great American Road Trip Green
Date:  Thursday, June 2
Time: 11:30am CST
 
Travel and sustainability are no longer seen as mutually exclusive. We will look closely at the critical need for EV charging infrastructure and why it can create a more sustainable future for American travelers. Exclusive insights from Arrivalist will shed light on key corridors underserved by EV infrastructure, followed by a panel representing perspectives from airports, charging companies, destinations and hospitality. We will examine how our industry can put the infrastructure and education in place to ensure travelers can ditch ‘range anxiety’ and embark on a Green American Road Trip behind the wheel of an electric vehicle.
