CharIN Testival EUROPE 2026 – The Netherlands

We will gather at ElaadNL in Arnhem, The Netherlands, for an exciting Testival at the start of the European summer 2026. Co-hosted by Milence, the event will take place from May 05 to 07, 2026, where participants will immerse themselves in the world of e-mobility charging and cutting-edge testing.

This year, the Testival will place special emphasis on Megawatt Charging System (MCS)* and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) testing, showcasing the latest breakthroughs in high-power charging and bidirectional energy exchange. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to test MCS and V2G-enabled vehicles and charging stations in real-world scenarios.

Participants will also explore the newest developments in e-mobility interoperability and network with key stakeholders across the EV charging ecosystem, from vehicle OEMs to infrastructure providers. This event represents a major step forward in advancing high-power charging infrastructure and sustainable energy integration.

*Please note: Slots are limited. Preference will be given to MCS & V2G-capable equipment to empower testing of the latest interoperability standards.

Registration is open! Early Bird by March 06, 2026
