Powered UP - Finance, Fleet & the Future of Clean Mobility

ELECTRA CONNECT LTD

Powered Up Conference returns to the London Transport Museum on Wednesday  21 January 2026

London Transport Museum Shop

<h3>This Year’s Theme</h3>Finance, Fleet &amp; the Future of Clean MobilityThis year’s Powered Up will explore the commercial and operational side of the transition — how investment, fleet innovation, and finance models are accelerating the shift to clean mobility. From scalable funding solutions and corporate electrification to smarter asset management and risk, we’ll unpack how the next stage of the EV revolution will be paid for, managed, and delivered.The event isn’t open to all – but anyone can apply. Every delegate request is reviewed, and only those actively contributing to the EV space, policymaking, infrastructure, fleet management, or finance will be granted access. The goal is to ensure the right people are in the room – those who can challenge, collaborate, and create real progress.Across four confirmed panels (with a fifth to be announced), guests will hear from leading voices in finance, fleet, infrastructure, and policy. There’ll also be keynote insights, sector updates, and plenty of time to connect with other senior delegates during our welcome gallery walk and closing drinks reception.Powered Up isn’t just a talking shop – it’s where the conversations become commitments.We’re bringing together key voices from across the electric vehicle ecosystem — finance leaders, fleet operators, infrastructure providers, local authorities, policymakers and innovators — all under one roof. The focus? What needs to happen now to make clean mobility scalable, investable, and future-ready.<h2>What to Expect</h2>From the moment you arrive, the event is designed to drive meaningful interaction. Starting with a welcome reception and gallery walk, guests can connect with fellow attendees, view a visual recap of previous Powered Up events, and dive straight into conversation.<h3>Panel 1: Financing the Transition – Where Capital Meets Commitment</h3>Moderator: Warren Philips, Co-Founder &amp; Chair, EVA England Speakers: Simon King, Partner, Edenseven Lauren Pamma, Head of Energy &amp; Infrastructure Financing, Aldermore Bank Tali Trigg, Principal, Green Cities, EBRD Andrew New, Head of National Accounts &amp; ESG Lending - Close Brothers Asset FinanceThis session explores how public incentives, private investment, and ESG funds are driving EV adoption.
