What is EV & Charge Live Africa?

Where transport meets power.

EV & Charge Live Africa is the dedicated electric mobility and charging profile at Solar & Storage Live Africa. It brings the transport and energy ecosystems together to tackle the practical questions behind Africa's EV transition: where charging is needed, how it will be powered, who will finance it and how reliable networks can be delivered at scale.

Across the exhibition floor and conference agenda, visitors can meet technology providers, hear directly from market leaders and explore solutions for public, commercial, fleet, residential and destination charging.

One destination. Two connected markets.

EV charging meets clean energy.

EV & Charge Live Africa sits within Solar & Storage Live Africa, creating a natural meeting point between electricity supply and transport demand.
