The roll-out of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles is accelerating — but today, it is no longer hardware alone that makes the real difference.

Reliability, interoperability and user experience are increasingly determining the success of a project — for both customers and operators.

At the same time, new standards such as Plug & Charge are bringing about a fundamental change in how charging works in practice: simpler for the user, but still technically complex behind the scenes.

This EV Belgium Academy session brings the whole picture together: from hardware and charging infrastructure to software, standards and user experience — and how all of this is tested in practice.

👉 In the morning, you’ll gain insights from CPOs and hardware manufacturers on the reliability of charging infrastructure: what works today, what doesn’t, and why.

👉 And you’ll also get out into the field yourself:
an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Laborelec’s megawatt charging test lab, where charging infrastructure is effectively tested and validated — including live demonstrations of HPC, MCS and Plug & Charge.

This is not a theoretical discussion, but a unique combination of:
✔️ market insights
✔️ technical expertise
✔️ practical validation

In addition, we’ve arranged various networking opportunities throughout the day — from breakfast to lunch — in a pleasant, high-quality setting.

🇬🇧 This is an English-language event.
