Headline Session: What Does the Future of Charging Infrastructure Look Like?

Monday, 10 March 2025

Format: Panel Discussion 

The automotive industry and consumers are pushing for charging infrastructure to scale rapidly—but at what cost? Fragmentation in standards, energy supply constraints, and uncertain business models are putting pressure on automakers. Will OEMs be forced to invest in power generation? Can interoperability challenges be solved? What do consumers want? And is battery swapping a real contender? This panel dissects the biggest bottlenecks in charging infrastructure and their impact on vehicle design, battery innovation, and market adoption. 

  

Key Discussion Points: 

  • Standardisation vs. Fragmentation – Can the industry unify behind NACS, CCS, or ISO 15118? 
  • Automakers as energy providers? – Should OEMs secure their own power supply for factories and fleets? 
  • Infrastructure Investment vs. Return – can charging ever be profitable without subsidies? 
  • Battery swapping & future disruptions – could this challenge fast-charging dominance?
