Ever Faster Charging Without Losing Economy, Lifecycle or Safety, Unicorn or Inevitable?

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
