What does it take for an electrification pilot to become a bankable, scalable business?

Thursday, November 52:30 – 3:45

About This Session

This session examines how electrification technologies move from pilots to widespread commercial adoption, and what separates a successful demonstration from a bankable business. With panelists spanning infrastructure engineering and former federal transportation policy, electric vehicle charging and mobility startups, energy finance advisory, and utility engineering leadership, the conversation tracks where commercialization stalls and what it takes to close that gap.

Key Questions Explored

  • What does it take for an electrification pilot to become a bankable, scalable business?
  • Where does the path from demonstration to commercial adoption typically stall?
  • What financing and engineering gaps stand between proven technology and customer rollout?
  • What needs to happen now to keep electrification on pace with growing demand?
