How far along is charging infrastructure really? If you're looking for a realistic snapshot of where things stand, this session is the place to be. It's all about facts, trends and technologies: from the current pace of expansion and grid connection challenges to the potential of electric vehicles as flexible energy storage.What role can bidirectional charging play in this context? And what does it take to turn charging infrastructure into a driver of the energy transition - rather than a bottleneck?This session brings together leading voices from industry, associations and policymakers - with up-to-date data, fresh studies and one clear goal: How can we turn charging infrastructure from a barrier into a booster?
