The program addresses key areas for the continued development of e-mobility across the continent, including interoperability and grid integration, heavy-duty transport, continental EV coordination, financing, and EV circularity. Discussions will connect policy, investment, technology, and implementation, with a focus on the systems and partnerships needed to enable reliable and scalable electric mobility.
Glenn Cezanne, Vice-President Global Government Relations at CharIN, will bring CharIN's global perspective on charging interoperability to the Nordic Africa EV Summit program.

Keynote: A Global Perspective on Charging Interoperability
Other markets learned interoperability the expensive way, after incompatible equipment was installed and users were already frustrated. Africa still has the advantage of deciding early.

- Main Hall
Fireside Chat: Exploring an Interoperable Model
Five charging networks should not require five apps and five accounts. A shared service layer could make different systems feel like one, but only if operators trust the rules for certification, roaming, data and ownership.
Join the sessions and meet CharIN on-site to exchange perspectives on charging interoperability and the development of scalable e-mobility across Africa.
