Building the electric ecosystem
Time: May 7, 2026, 15:15-16:15
Place: Main stage
Part 1: Reshaping cities for the electric future
Cities are on the front line of the transition to zero‑emission mobility. From megacities to progressive capitals, the discussion will focus on scalable solutions that align climate targets with real‑world implementation.
Part 2: Merging energy and mobility systems
The electrification of transport is rapidly blurring the lines between the energy and mobility sectors.
This session examines how vehicle charging, energy management, and flexibility services – like vehicle to grid (V2G) and vehicle to home (V2H) can be aligned to reduce system costs, unlock new revenue streams, and strengthen energy security.
