Our Mission

Why Global Women in EV Day Exists

Electric mobility is transforming transport, energy and cities at speed. But innovation alone doesn’t guarantee progress – how we build this industry matters.

Women remain under-represented across leadership, technical roles and decision-making in EV, despite holding a significant share of driving licences, consumer influence and talent entering the workforce.

Global Women in EV Day exists to change that – deliberately.

Our mission is to:

Celebrate and amplify women’s achievements across the EV ecosystem
Accelerate gender equity in a fast-growing global sector
Foster international collaboration and shared learning
Encourage male allyship as a critical driver of progress
Inspire the next generation into STEM, energy and clean mobility

Three women, dressed in professional attire with conference badges, stand indoors in conversation. One woman in a black suit smiles warmly whilst the others listen, suggesting a friendly networking event.

This is not about fixing the past.

It’s about designing the future better – from the start.

A woman stands at a desk covered with technical drawings and papers, holding a 3D-printed object. Shelves with plants and a digital display screen are visible in the background, suggesting a modern office or lab setting.

Why 10 February?

10 February was chosen with purpose.

It marks the birth date of Edith Clarke, one of the world’s first female electrical engineers. Her pioneering work helped lay the foundations of modern power systems — the very systems that make large-scale electrification, smart grids and EV charging possible today.

Edith Clarke’s contributions were fundamental, yet for much of history, under-recognised.

By anchoring Global Women in EV Day to her birthday, we connect:

10 February is both a tribute and a statement: Women have always shaped this sector — and must be visible in shaping what comes next.
