ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Join industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers in Lyon, France, on 1–2 October at Europe’s high-level forum dedicated to the future of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
The EV Charging Infrastructure Development Forum is an annual senior-level gathering bringing together key decision-makers from across the EV charging ecosystem. Each year, it convenes leading Charging Point Operators, eMobility service providers, OEMs, DSOs, energy companies, oil & gas players, and infrastructure and technology innovators shaping the transition to electric mobility.
As the rollout of battery electric vehicles accelerates across Europe, the focus is shifting from early deployment to large-scale, commercially viable and grid-integrated charging networks. This forum provides a focused platform to exchange practical insights, align on real-world deployment challenges, and explore the strategies required to scale EV charging infrastructure across fragmented markets.
WHY ATTEND
Gain direct insights from leading operators and infrastructure developers actively scaling charging networks across Europe, engage in high-level discussions with industry executives and policymakers driving the energy and mobility transition, explore proven approaches to improving network performance, utilisation and profitability, and connect with senior decision-makers across CPOs, OEMs, utilities and infrastructure investors.
KEY TOPICS FOR 2026
Strategic Network Scaling and Market Expansion, approaches to building and optimising cross-border charging networks under real deployment constraints, operational excellence and uptime management, improving reliability, utilisation and customer experience at scale, grid integration and energy system constraints, managing connection delays, load balancing and infrastructure bottlenecks, heavy-duty and commercial vehicle charging, depot, corridor and megawatt charging strategies for truck electrification, regulatory frameworks and market design in Europe, including evolving EU rules impacting deployment speed and interoperability, digitalisation and intelligent charging systems, leveraging data, AI and software platforms to optimise performance, pricing and energy management.
