Ever Faster Charging Without Losing Economy, Lifecycle or Safety, Unicorn or Inevitable?
Monday, 10 March 2025
Format: Talks + Q&A
By 2030, Europe requires over 7 million public chargers to support EV market growth. Moreover, ultra-fast charging is essential for mass EV adoption, but its integration must balance grid demands, battery health, and cost. This session explores how next-gen power electronics, thermal management and battery architectures are unlocking sub-10-minute charge times without compromising safety or longevity. Can we achieve widespread ultra-fast charging while maintaining economic and environmental sustainability?
Key Themes:
- Advances in grid-stabilising charging systems
- Economic implications of fast-charging rollouts
- Forecasted impacts of faster charging and how to mitigate them
