The question is simple but demands complex examination: “How can I optimize the process of getting electrons into my customer's electric vehicles as efficiently as possible?” EVs and EV charging have become some of the most passionately discussed topics in the field of sustainable energy. In this episode, our experts Martin Weissbart and Adam Healy engage in a compelling discussion that results in an insightful analysis of Europe’s EV charging landscape today and in the future. What are the key drivers, changes, and incentives for EV users? How do the deployment strategies of charge point operators compare to their actual utilization?

In our tenth podcast episode, our experts dive deep into these topics, exploring further aspects of the e-mobility value chain while identifying major trends and challenges. The future of electric vehicle charging in Europe hinges on various economic factors. The paces and dynamics of infrastructure development vary widely across different regions of Europe, with a noticeable slowdown in battery electric vehicle sales. Martin and Adam scrutinize these deficits and opportunities to develop proposals for urgent, custom-made actions.

"There is so much opportunity for everyone in that ecosystem, particularly charge point operators. We're just getting started."
