Changing the charging market with Plug & Charge
Time: May 7, 2026, 13:15-14:00
Plug & Charge is emerging as a cornerstone of the next generation electric mobility ecosystem. By eliminating apps, cards and manual payments, it significantly improves user experience while reducing operational complexity.
The session will bring together charge point operators (CPOs), mobility service providers (MSPs) and software providers to address critical questions such as:
- How can Plug & Charge reduce friction and increase utilization across networks?
- What are the implications for interoperability, competition and market consolidation?
We will explore how Plug & Charge is transforming the EV charging value chain. Industry leaders will discuss how seamless authentication and billing can accelerate mass EV adoption, reduce operational complexity, and enable truly cross‑border charging at scale.
From a strategic perspective, Plug & Charge is more than a user‑experience upgrade. It is a key enabler for roaming, platform integration, smart energy management, and future‑proof business models. As regulation evolves and requirements around openness, cybersecurity and consumer protection increase, decision‑makers must understand how Plug & Charge aligns with European regulation, AFIR compliance, and long‑term infrastructure investment strategies.
