EV Belgium and the MOBI Electromobility Research Centre (VUB) invite you to celebrate an important milestone for electric mobility in Belgium: the achievement of the 100,000th public charging point!
More information over MOBI Electromobility Research Centre (VUB)
EV Belgium has its origins at the VUB, where in 1978 the first seeds were sown for what has now grown into the national sector federation for electric mobility. Returning to this place, in collaboration with MOBI, therefore feels special and meaningful.
We will start the programme at LIC Brussels, Pleinlaan 2, 1050 Brussels – the brand new Learning and Innovation Centre that was recently opened with pride by ULB and VUB.
Here, Philippe Vangeel (director of EV Belgium) and Professor Joeri Van Mierlo, founding director of MOBI Electromobility Research Centre – together with other speakers – will discuss the evolution and challenges of electromobility in our country.
Afterwards, we will head to the MOBI Electromobility Research Centre at building Z, where we will raise a glass to the future of our sector. There, you can discover the latest generations of charging stations, including a bidirectional charging station, and talk to the MOBI team.
This will send a neutral and strong message: we are celebrating sector-wide progress, emphasising the social relevance of charging infrastructure and addressing the challenges surrounding grid capacity, skills, system integration and more in order to reach that target of 100,000 charging stations.
For whom?
- Representatives from the charging, automotive and energy sectors
- Researchers and academics in the field of sustainable energy and mobility
- Those interested in electric vehicles and charging infrastructure
- Interested journalists and influencers
