Electric vehicles and charging infrastructure have become established in the mass market. But there are still some challenges when it comes to meeting demand, and the charging process does not always run smoothly. In this session, experts from industry, academia and NGOs will be discussing questions such as: Why is the public charging infrastructure unable to provide reliable charging? How must we adapt the existing charging infrastructure to accommodate commercial and heavy-duty vehicles? How can technology and technical standards keep up with the growth and diversification of the battery electric vehicle fleet? Join this discussion by players working on the front line of this market.
