Event Cancellation Notice

As part of our on-going research it has become apparent that due to current EV market conditions the majority of the industry is currently focusing on B2C rather than B2B events, and travel budgets have been reduced across all industry segments.

At EV Update we aim to ensure that all participants financial and time investments in our events will deliver a strong return on investment and unfortunately it has become clear that this event will not meet the high quality level that we demand from all our products.
