E-Mobility Europe Board Perspectives: Navigating the Charging Landscape

Industry leaders will dive into what it takes to build a market that thrives on fair competition while delivering the seamless, reliable, and transparent charging experience EV drivers actually trust. The discussion will explore how market competition is converting committed capital into tangible innovation, operational efficiency, and rapid network scaling across Member States. Panelists will break down the reliability formula, focusing on uptime, plug-and-play interoperability, and clear pricing models to eliminate driver anxiety. Finally, the session will address how infrastructure operators, software platforms, and energy providers can work together to secure long-term consumer trust as mass-market EV adoption accelerates across Europe.

The AMPECO Marketplace: One platform, multiple specialists

Alexander Manolov, Frontier Projects Director at AMPECO, explains how the AMPECO Marketplace actually works: which capabilities AMPECO builds itself, where it deliberately stops and brings in a specialist, and how a partner gets from a first conversation to a working app within an operator's platform. Powerful APIs were never going to be enough on their own, so AMPECO built a layer of standardized integration points on top of them.

Topics covered: the three levels of integration and why the standardized middle one changes the economics for both sides; the business areas AMPECO is building out, from maps and driver support to energy management and flexibility markets; what one operator's real partner stack looks like in practice; and where the next set of apps is coming from.

Inside AppSpark: how AMPECO turns internal ideas into Marketplace products

Constantin Popov, Senior Product Manager for Marketplace and Integrations at AMPECO, on AppSpark: an internal competition that spanned 200 AMPECO employees across the world and challenged them to propose Marketplace apps. Twelve teams reached the final and pitched everything from session fraud detection and predictive maintenance to arcade games for drivers waiting on a charge.

Topics covered: how the competition ran and what came out of it, which ideas the jury rewarded and why, how AMPECO decides what to build itself and what to bring a partner in for, and a first look at the winning concept.

The winning AppSpark idea: a no-code flow builder for the driver app

Kaloyan Danchev, Product Manager at AMPECO, then presents the winning AppSpark challenge idea: the Embedded Web App Flow Builder, a way for an operator to build their own in-app forms, surveys, and promotions without writing code or waiting for a release.

Keys to multinational compliance: the CPMS perspective

Regulatory compliance in EV charging naturally happens across multiple aspects: technical, fiscal, data, energy and operational. This requires a platform architecture that positively impacts P&L and overall development speed for multi-country CPOs. Discover how AMPECO responds to the fast pace of change in the regulatory, compliance, and standards environment.

Fireside chat with MFG: Martin Symes

MFG EV Power runs more than 2,000 ultra-rapid bays across nearly 600 forecourt sites, close to 12% of the UK’s ultra-rapid charging capacity. Martin Symes sits down with AMPECO CRO Stefan Ivanov to trace how that was built: a deliberately narrow strategy, the £2.5 billion acquisition of 337 Morrisons forecourts, and what running charging on a forecourt actually demands. The conversation then turns to the gap Martin sees between what a driver experiences on a single UK network and what the same driver meets across Europe, where hundreds of operators and hundreds of different processes still arrive at the charge point. Expect the version with the caveats intact, including why he thinks MFG’s route into this market would be hard for anyone to repeat today.

Scale fast, stay efficient, keep customers happy: lessons from 60,000 charge points

Scale fast, stay efficient, keep customers happy. Easy to say, harder to execute. Andreas Strand, CEO of Wattif EV, shares lessons from scaling across multiple European markets. From building destination charging across different segments to integrating and migrating large charging portfolios, Wattif has grown to more than 60,000 charge points in just a few years. He is then joined on stage by CTO Øystein Tomassen to look at how a CPO builds an operating model that delivers at today’s scale and is ready for the next stage of growth.

EV Charging Outlook 2026 with BloombergNEF

BloombergNEF opens day two of the AMPECO Ecosystem Stage with its 2026 outlook on charging demand and charging infrastructure. Public charging grew 28% in 2025 to 6.7 million connectors, ultra-fast connectors in Europe and the US grew by almost half, and BNEF puts the investment still needed in the network at $638 billion by 2040. Ryan Fisher covers what sits behind those numbers: electric vehicle power demand, the pace of roll-out, and the technologies now entering the forecast, including battery storage, megawatt charging, robotaxis and truck charging.

From charging networks deployment to energy platforms: the new drivers of value creation

Charging networks are becoming energy platforms, and the value is moving with them. In this session, Yasmine Assef looks at where CPO profitability stands today, the new value pools opening up around energy, and the capabilities and tools operators need to capture them. Drawing on AFRY Management Consulting’s work with operators, investors and utilities across the energy transition, she maps what it takes to turn energy capability into financial return.

Charging Made for Drivers: Moments Well Spent

In this TED-style talk, Steven Salo shares Allego's belief that charging is about more than energy. When charging is fast, reliable and available where drivers need it, it stops being a chore and becomes a moment well spent.

AC is here to stay: A Dutch case study on building a smarter, DBFMO powered charging infrastructure

The next phase of e-mobility will require more than simply adding charging capacity. As EV adoption accelerates, the challenge is to build infrastructure that can scale sustainably, work within increasingly constrained energy systems and deliver value over the long term. The question is no longer simply how to charge faster, but how to build smarter. Velian, drawing on over 14 years of experience and with a network of over 17,551 charge points across the Netherlands, makes the case that AC charging is here to stay.

This session opens with a brief look at why AC remains the operational backbone of everyday charging for businesses, real estate, fleets, and governments in the Netherlands.

From there, we explore why a DBFMO (Design, Build, Finance, Maintain, Operate) approach makes long-term AC investment work. This model removes investor risk by owning the full infrastructure lifecycle, with zero upfront investment required.

Three examples from Velian's own network illustrate the benefits of this model in practice:

• Managing grid congestion challenges at scale, as the Dutch electricity network is increasingly strained
• Circularity in charging hardware, through refurbishment and return programs that extend asset lifespan and reduce cost
• Operational excellence, reflected in 99% uptime across a nationwide network

Attendees will leave with a practical, field-tested framework for evaluating AC investment models. Whether you're a CPO, investor, fleet operator, or policymaker, this session offers a grounded Dutch perspective on building a resilient, long-term AC charging ecosystem.

Portugal's New EV Charging Landscape: Challenges and Opportunities for CPOs

Portugal is rewriting the rules of its charging market. Luis Castanheira, CEO of REMO (powered by Mota-Engil), breaks down what the shift from a regulated model to an open, competitive one opens up for CPOs, and what it costs them: simpler market access and new revenue beyond the kilowatt-hour on one side, grid constraints, interoperability and thinner margins on the other. He'll show where technology, not scale alone, decides who comes out ahead, as well as why Portugal could end up as the benchmark the rest of Europe watches.

OCPI: standardisation, migration and what CPOs need to prepare for

OCPI is moving from a community roaming protocol toward an official standard, and that shift changes what CPOs and eMSPs have to plan for. Michel Bayings, Executive Director of the EVRoaming Foundation, gives the current status of OCPI and the work behind it: where standardisation stands, how migration between versions is supported and tested, and the newest extensions covering tariff complexity, subscriptions and the National Access Point. He and AMPECO also cover what Foundation membership involves in practice, and how the two organisations work together. The session closes with audience questions.

The Mexico charging thesis: proven models and unclaimed ground

Lessons learned, market strategies and new opportunities from Mexico, Latin America's second-largest EV market. Europe is where Mexico's charging market goes to see its own future, except Mexico is not going to arrive there the same way. Eighty percent of charging sessions in Mexico happen at home, in cities that are densifying vertically at speed, with no EV-ready building mandate, four competing connector standards, and a hardware market so fragmented that fleet operators already own hundreds of chargers from vendors that no longer exist. The result is a market that looks underbuilt on paper, fewer than 4,700 public charging points for more than 235,000 plug-in vehicles, yet 92% of the country's 61,000 charging connections are already installed behind private meters, unmanaged and unmonetized. In this session, Gerónimo Martínez, co-founder and CEO of S2G Energy, sets out the structural conditions shaping charging demand in Mexico, the three opportunities they create (multifamily residential charging as a real-estate product, high-utilization hubs for ride-hailing and last-mile fleets, and a DC corridor along the busiest vehicle border on the planet) and how S2G is building against each of them, including why the border only works with roaming into US networks.

Fireside chat with Worldline: Velizar Velkov

Tapping a card at a charger looks simple. Behind that tap sits a payment infrastructure most drivers never think about – one that's evolving faster than most CPOs can keep up with. Join Velizar Velkov (e-Mobility Payment Expert, Worldline) and Yavor Yordanov (Payment Technologies Director, AMPECO) for an open conversation on the two layers every CPO must manage: the credentials drivers never see, and the terminals they touch every day. They'll break down where each one is causing real headaches right now, where it's opening space to compete. Tokens, acceptance rates, OCPI's rise, and a first look at the Castles S1U2 Mini – what's changing now, and what should already be on your radar for 2027.

The Customer at the Centre: How Eldrive Is Building the Next Generation of EV Charging

Dragoș Teodorescu, Technical Director at Eldrive Romania, explores how customer needs translate into the technical and operational decisions behind a reliable, scalable EV charging network. He covers how Eldrive selects locations based on traffic flows, demand and network coverage, why key routes need larger multi-point hubs, and how availability, reliability and uptime shape the customer experience. The session also looks at the technology behind the next generation of charging infrastructure, from ultra-fast chargers to systems up to 1 MW, and at why successful hubs belong inside a wider retail and service ecosystem that turns charging time into useful time. Drawing on Eldrive's experience across Bulgaria, Romania and Lithuania, it shows how infrastructure, technology, operations and digital platforms, supported by AMPECO, build a network that is reliable today and ready for growth.

One Truck or Forty Cars: Why Charging Trucks Needs a New Service Concept

Truck charging looks like car charging at a bigger scale, and that assumption quietly reshapes the service model most operators rely on. One truck can consume the energy of up to 40 cars in a single session, and therefore transaction-based economics give way to a volume-driven logic that changes what drivers, CPOs and fleets need from a charging service.

From Charging Events to Intelligent Conversations: Agentic AI for eMobility

As eMobility platforms scale, communications must move beyond simple alerts and become intelligent, contextual, and proactive. In this talk, Infobip will explore how Agentic AI, with AgentOS at the core, can orchestrate customer and operational communications across the charging journey, from a vehicle needing charge to charge completion, payment updates, support escalation, and fleet notifications.

The session will also look at broader communications trends and what "agentic" means in practice for B2B platforms operating in high-volume, time-sensitive environments. It will highlight how AI-driven orchestration can improve reliability, reduce friction, and create better driver and partner experiences at scale, using eMobility and adjacent industry use cases to show practical business value.
