EV Charging Infrastructure Forum 2026

February 25-26, 2026 - Munich, Germany

The deployment charging infrastructure is the prerequisite for the spread of electric vehicles. A well-established charging network increases vehicle miles using electricity, relieves range anxiety and reduces inconvenience concerning charging process. EVs are visualized to dominate the future mobility market in the Europe. However, a robust charging infrastructure, necessary to make e-mobility a complete reality, is seen as lagging behind requirements.

The discrepancy in the development of EVs and its charging infrastructure is being recognized across Europe. V2G (vehicle to grid) applications are also evolving at a great pace. The fundamental issues being considered, thus, revolve around where to charge the EVs, who will build the charging infrastructure, and whether electricity grids or fast- or ultra-fast charging network will be ready for the envisioned EV growth.

Highlights

  • 35+ Speakers
  • 150+ Attendees
  • 10+ Sponsors
This EV Charging Infrastructure 2026 event is set to become the world’s leading conference exclusively for the automotive and electrical power industry, to meet and collaborate with a large array of charge point developers and policymakers, to examine new developments in electrical infrastructure and charge point technologies and address how the industry plans to support the growing use of electric vehicles.

This event will bring together industry experts and decision-makers responsible for EV charging infrastructure and all industry stakeholders across the automotive and electrical industries to network and build cross-market relationships, discuss the current state of smart charging and V2G solutions, explore new technologies and innovations addressing the real challenges of charging infrastructure. The programme will focus on what the 2030 challenges will mean for the EV ecosystem and how we could move towards a charging infrastructure that works for the consumer, system and energy transition.

The future of transportation is rapidly evolving, and electric fleets are at the forefront of this transformation. As industry pivots towards sustainability, it is crucial for businesses to stay ahead of the curve and understand the latest trends, opportunities, and challenges. The 4th Annual EV Charging Infrastructure Forum will offer an overview of the EU's policy frameworks and initiatives, highlighting opportunities for innovation and pathways to address current challenges. This workshop will feature insightful presentations from key industry leaders and charging solution providers to explore all aspects of EV charging (financing, infrastructure, operability, fleet management, etc), discuss e-mobility challenges and opportunities and as well as insightful discussions that will address key challenges and technical aspects of maintaining and ensuring the operability of EV charging. This summit will aims to facilitate a collaborative dialogue among stakeholders, exploring avenues for collaboration to foster innovative solutions that can accelerate EV adoption, enhance the resilience of electricity grids, improve EV charging convenience and reduce transport costs for EU citizens and businesses.

During this event you can expect keynote speakers with deep industry knowledge and insights, panel discussions on technology advancements, fleet management, and charging infrastructure, and great networking opportunities with leading professionals in the EV and logistics sectors.
