TEEX Electric Vehicle and Stored Energy Summit

As the world increasingly relies on electric vehicles and stored energy sources, we must plan, mitigate and prepare for potential incidents. Prepare your organization by attending the second annual TEEX Electric Vehicle and Stored Energy Summit. The summit will improve understanding of the unique requirements and best practices for preventing and responding to stored energy incidents by public safety policymakers and first responders.
