Cross border charging infrastructure

Time: May 6, 2026, 15:15-16:00

Place: Main stage

In cooperation with E-Mobility Europe

What are the key challenges and barriers to seamless charging across Europe?

This session delves into how cross‑border charging is transforming international e‑mobility and building the foundation for a truly integrated European EV charging network. As electric mobility scales, decision‑makers face increasing demands for interoperability, regulatory compliance, secure operations, and cost‑transparent services across national borders.

We explore how the AFIR (Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation) is reshaping investment strategies, standardizing service levels, and driving mandatory requirements for pricing transparency, payment accessibility, and roaming functionality. The session highlights how stakeholders can align with AFIR obligations while maintaining operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
