The 49 Collective
Driving Equality in Electric Mobility

Uniting Women, Allies, and Innovators to Accelerate a Fair, Forward‑Facing EV Future

Welcome to The 49 Collective!

Launched on 10th February 2026 as part of the celebrations for the inaugural Global Women in EV Day, The 49 Collective brings together like-minded individuals and companies from across the electric vehicle and wider clean mobility sector to ensure that the industry is forward-facing and progressive.

It’s an exciting time to join the Collective, with lots of plans for 2026, and it would be wonderful to have you involved! To keep up to date, make sure to follow our LinkedIn page.

All of this though wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Octopus Electroverse, whose commitment to driving equality and a greater sense of representation within the industry provides vital momentum to the campaign.
