Talk of session: Correctly Implementing Charging Parks for Fleets & Public Spaces

Charging hubs are the backbone of e-mobility, but their successful implementation requires more than just power. This session explores key strategies for setting up charging infrastructure - both for fleets and public use. Our experts will provide insights into battery-buffered charging solutions, grid-friendly concepts, high-power charging (HPC), and megawatt charging for heavy-duty vehicles. Sustainability will also be a key focus, as the ultimate goal is to shape the future of mobility in a sustainable way.
