Collaboration at Scale: Establishing the Open Smart Charging Ecosystem
Collaboration has always been at the foundation of the eMobility industry. The progress achieved to date is a testament to that. But mass EV adoption demands more. True interoperability must now extend to encompass smart charging, energy integration and the convergence of mobility and energy sectors.
An open smart charging ecosystem, built and scaled together, enables seamless cross-border smart charging, more efficient use of energy and infrastructure, and accelerated EV adoption. It is a strategic task for the entire industry, and one that requires it to collaborate at a scale and depth not yet seen.
