Surviving the EV shakeout: why flexibility is everything
Energy & Charging
The U.S. EV charging market is entering a tougher phase. Cuts to EV incentives and the stop-start rollout of NEVI are putting real pressure on network operators. This panel digs into what it takes to stay adaptable in operations, finance, and strategy. We’ll explore how networks can be built to withstand uncertainty, with perspectives from across the ecosystem: software, hardware, a leading U.S. CPO, and fleet player.

Driving trust and transformation: The intelligent mobility ecosystem for a safer, smarter, and seamless future
Electric Vehicles
The future of mobility is being redefined by a seamless integration of safety, quality, regulatory compliance, and cutting-edge technologies - delivering a frictionless, intelligent, and trustworthy experience for both individual consumers and fleet operators.
By leveraging AI and over-the-air updates, automakers and mobility providers can ensure vehicles remain safe, compliant, and optimized, while new business models like mobility subscriptions and autonomous fleets transform how people and goods move.
Electric vehicles (EVs) and AI become foundational enablers, operating in the background to support autonomous, efficient, and sustainable urban mobility solutions that foster brand loyalty through superior quality and customer-centric innovation.

Improving the experience: efficient, holistic, and sustainable last-mile transport solutions
Keynotes
Last-mile transport is the linchpin of urban mobility, shaping both customer experience and system efficiency. As cities and providers navigate shifting demands, the challenge lies in integrating diverse modes—micromobility, shared shuttles, and electrified fleets—into cohesive and scalable networks. This roundtable will bring together leaders across mobility, logistics, and technology to examine how efficiency, sustainability, and equity can coexist in last-mile delivery and passenger transport. The discussion will spotlight practical frameworks, partnerships, and innovations that are redefining what “seamless and sustainable” looks like in the final leg of the journey.

Crossing the chasm in EV charging technology
Energy & Charging
Geoffrey Moore's "Crossing the Chasm" highlights the crucial gap between early adopters and the early majority, a gap that often dooms tech companies.
As an industry we've catered to early adopters—those forgiving enthusiasts. Now, we face the pragmatic early majority who demand reliable, seamless, and predictable solutions. The shift is from "works most of the time" to "it just works." Our previous strategies won't suffice for maturity.
This session will explore achieving a next-generation EV charging tech stack through orchestration, leveraging integration, "great-in-class" technology, and strategic choices to differentiate and succeed.
