DESCRIPTION:Join IEEE WiTEC and YPTEC for a high-impact\, powerhouse conver
 sation featuring three trailblazing leaders who are not just witnessing th
 e EV transition\; they are actively building it. Celebrating IEEE Women in
  Engineering (WiE) Day\, this flagship panel explores the critical converg
 ence of policy\, infrastructure standards\, and breakthrough engineering r
 equired to decarbonize transportation at scale.\nThe future of the EV ecos
 ystem is not predetermined\; it is something we design through alignment a
 cross sectors. Our discussion will bridge technical excellence with strate
 gic policy to provide attendees with &quot;optimism grounded in facts&quot;.\nWhy At
 tend?\n\n- Strategic Insights: Learn how the three pillars of the ecosyste
 m (policy\, infrastructure\, and technology) must move in sync to achieve 
 scalable decarbonization.\n- &quot;Hot Topic&quot; Deep Dives: Get the latest update
 s on standards\, federal funding deployment\, and heavy-duty vehicle break
 throughs.\n- Career Inspiration: Hear from technical and policy icons who 
 are leading the way in a rapidly evolving field.\n\nKey Discussion Themes\
 n\n- Policy Barriers &amp; Data Trends: Identifying underestimated obstacles t
 o adoption and the data policymakers are missing.\n- Infrastructure Reliab
 ility &amp; Standards: The path to a truly interoperable charging ecosystem an
 d the hurdles of megawatt charging.\n- Technical Engineering Breakthroughs
 : Electrifying medium- and heavy-duty fleets.\n---------------------------
 ------------------------------------\n\nMeet the &quot;Powerhouse Trio&quot; of Pane
 lists\n\n- Dr. Rachael Nealer (Policy/Data): Director at Atlas Public Poli
 cy. Strategic leadership and policy expert to advance data-driven solution
 s for transportation electrification\, climate policy\, and infrastructure
 .\n- Erika Myers (Infrastructure/Standards): Executive Director of CharIN 
 North America. The leading voice on universal charging standards\, NACS\, 
 and interoperability.\n- Aishwarya Ray (Technical/Industry): Technical Spe
 cialist at Cummins. Technical leader in heavy-duty electrification\, e-axl
 e products\, and powertrain controls.\n\nModerated by:\n\n- Dr. Daniela To
