The Power2Drive forum opened with a session titled "Global eMobility Outlook and The smarter E AWARD Finalists," introduced by Katharina Kramer, Communication and Event Manager at E-Mobility Europe. The event highlighted recent developments in Europe's EV sector, noting that despite initial challenges due to policy flexibilities, positive growth has been observed. Roamotion reported a 29% year-on-year increase in global EV sales for Q1 of this year, with Europe leading at 22%. Notable country-specific growth includes Germany (37%), Italy (64%), and Spain (67%). While commercial vehicle registrations declined overall, electric vehicles like buses (+50.3%) and vans (+32.6%) saw significant increases. To maintain momentum in the industry, dialogue between stakeholders is crucial alongside strong legislation fostering confidence among investors and consumers alike. Emphasis was placed on enhancing charging infrastructure collaboration within the EU's mobility ecosystem while diversifying supply chains—especially battery production—to mitigate geopolitical pressures on raw material imports as electrification becomes mainstream globally.
