2023 AEVA National Conference - Perth: Presentations, Recordings and links
On Friday the 3rd of November, 2023, the Australian Electric Vehicle Assocation held its annual national conference, followed by a Gala dinner at Fraser's Restaurant, overlooking the city from Kings Park.
Much of the Friday conference was captured by AVPartners, contracted by the Perth Exhibition and Convention Centre to video record most of the presentations, however the first and second streams (Access to affordable EVs and Not Just Cars) were not recorded. We have tried to include a copy of the speaker's presentations and any other links available, where possible.
This page will remain accessible by AEVA members who are logged into the website, but will be open access in early 2024. We thank everyone for attending the event, and hope to see you next year on Hobart.
Special thanks to our strategic partners, the West Australian Government (representing the WA EV Network powered by Synergy and Horizon Power, WA Department of Transport, Energy Policy WA, Department of Energy of Mines Industry Regulation and Safety, Department of Water and Environmental Regulation); our Platinum Sponsor Polestar; our Major Sponsor, BMW Auto Classic; Gold Sponsors Kingman EVC, Car-bon Leasing and Rentals; an support from Business Events Perth.
