Traditional EV chargers depend on constant internet connectivity, increasing costs and reducing reliability. HeyCharge changes that with its patented SecureCharge technology, allowing chargers to operate entirely offline or with minimal connectivity. In this session, Chris Cardé, Founder and CEO of HeyCharge, will reveal how SecureCharge addresses critical needs like user authentication, billing, and charger management without always-on internet. This breakthrough dramatically cuts infrastructure costs and boosts reliability, opening new possibilities for EV charging in locations previously considered impractical or impossible. This innovation also creates exciting opportunities for new user groups seeking affordable and reliable EV charging - but how does it work for drivers relying on roaming via EMPs? This summer, HeyCharge introduced "offline roaming," enabling seamless roaming even without an internet connection. Join us to discover how HeyCharge made offline roaming possible!

As EV adoption accelerates, a hidden threat grows in the background - cybersecurity. In this session, Eleftherios Karabatsakis, co-founder of Plugsecure, shares real-world cases of vulnerabilities found in public and private charging networks. Why do these issues keep happening, even in certified environments? What can be done before it’s too late? Join us to uncover what’s really happening behind the plugs and how the industry can shift from reactive to resilient.

The EV charging industry has reached its defining moment. Everything that worked in the early phase- serving forgiving early adopters- is becoming obsolete as mainstream customers demand mature industry standards. With public charging stocks down 70-90% and investors expecting enterprise-grade performance, charging providers face a critical choice: evolve strategic approach or risk being left behind. This keynote reveals why the next 18 months will separate industry leaders from the rest, what operational models will dominate the next decade, and how to position for competitive advantage during this fundamental transition.

Join us for a high-level panel discussion featuring leaders from major national associations across Europe, as they explore how national strategies are driving the evolution of EV charging—and how cross-border collaboration can unlock progress at scale. This session will provide a unique, multi-country perspective on the current state of EV charging infrastructure, customer experience, and best practices. Panelists will address key challenges, including charging infrastructure gaps, regulatory hurdles, and market fragmentation, while sharing actionable insights for overcoming them. With a shared focus on accelerating mass EV adoption, the discussion will underscore the critical importance of seamless customer experiences, harmonized standards, and international cooperation in building a connected, user-centric charging ecosystem for the future.

In this joint talk, Niklas Behl (Amperfied GmbH, Senior Vice President)and Marco Möller (Pionix GmbH, Co‑Founder & CEO) share how future‑proof DC charging solutions can achieve outstanding interoperability and reliability. They will outline how Amperfied’s modular high‑availability DC platform, combined with predictive maintenance and continuous system monitoring, enables operators to maximize uptime and efficiency. At the same time, Pionix’s open‑source based EV charging operating system Base Camp ensures broad standards support and long‑term adaptability in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. Attendees will gain insights into how hardware, software, and service concepts can work together to deliver sustainable, future‑ready charging infrastructure.

This session will provide an overview of the key trends in the electric vehicle and charging industry and how they will develop over the next two decades. It will dive into areas such as the network build-out, commercial vehicle charging and using EVs to provide flexibility to the energy system.

There's no more time for excuses! It is essential to move beyond the current dynamics of emerging markets and prepare for mass electric vehicle (EV) adoption. As EVs are becoming mainstream, we must get ready for rapidly evolving needs in the ecosystem. Join us to find out what key themes are vital to successfully scale the EV ecosystem and accelerate the transition towards sustainable mobility together.

As electric mobility scales, energy management is no longer optional but central to the business strategy of Charge Point Operators. In this session, Yasmine explores the importance of advanced energy management to transform the business. From optimizing the procurement to leveraging Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technologies, she will unpack the tools and practical steps CPOs need to thrive in a dynamic energy landscape.

Electric vehicles are evolving into flexible energy assets. But to scale smart energy solutions for the mass market, we need more than just great tech - we need integration, interoperability, and the right partners across the energy system.

Join this expert panel featuring leading innovators from the eMobility and energy sectors to discuss:

• How bidirectional charging (V2G/V2H) complements grid expansion and strengthens energy resilience

• The critical role of smart meters and data transparency for dynamic tariffs, grid services and user acceptance

• Why DSOs (grid operators) are essential players in enabling a stable, distributed energy system

• And most importantly: What it takes to bring these innovations to everyday consumers – at scale

With insights from Markus Hackmann (P3 Group) – one of Europe’s leading experts in e-mobility and energy systems – bringing years of experience from working at the intersection of OEMs, utilities, and technology. A future-proof discussion not to miss.
