Large Scale EV Charging Infrastructure: How it can Work and Already Does

Fleet electrification has already moved beyond the conceptual stage and now faces the realities of day-to-day operations. Energy planning, dedicated infrastructure, modelling and simulation, logistics, charging times, operational costs, and grid integration all become critical considerations. This session brings together practical experience and applied research to understand how to turn electrification projects into viable, sustainable real-world operations. 

Where is the charging market heading to in the coming years? The answer lies in ultra-fast charging, new urban charging solutions, advanced battery systems, integration with buildings, smarter electricity grids, and emerging business models still in development. This session discusses which technologies and applications are likely to gain traction, which trends could reshape current infrastructure, and how companies, cities and operators should prepare for the next phase of electric mobility. 

The decision to switch to an electric vehicle depends not only on the car itself, but also on confidence in charging infrastructure. Availability, convenience, payment experience, usability, access to information, and predictability are all decisive factors for mass adoption. This session examines how user experience can either accelerate or hinder the growth of electric mobility in Brazil.
