PANEL | From Energy Crisis to Energy Flexibility: Unlocking the Role of EV Charging in Europe’s Smarter Grid
How can EV charging become a cornerstone of Europe's smarter, more flexible electricity grid?
That was the central question of our Summer Recharge public panel: "From Energy Crisis to Energy Flexibility: Unlocking the Role of EV Charging in Europe's Smarter Grid."
Together with policymakers, industry leaders, and experts, we explored what it would take to unlock our sector's flexibility potential for the energy transition.
Don't Pull the Plug on Battery Data: Possible Amendment of Article 20a(3) of the Renewable Energy Directive – in the context of the Post-2030 Renewable Energy Framework Consultation
In the context of the consultation on the renewable energy framework beyond 2030, ongoing debates on the Automotive Omnibus and the possible revision of the Renewable Energy Directive, we would like to stress the importance of maintaining EV battery data sharing obligations included in Article 20a(3) of the RED on access to battery-related data.

During our June "Summer Recharge" reception, our guests bravely battled against each other in the high-stakes e-scape room “Escape Energy Uncertainty”. Working against the clock, teams solved puzzles, unlocked the activation key, and reconnected the wires needed to keep the 2030 and 2035 CO₂ targets on track.
Our "e-scape room" was great fun, but it also carried an important message: maintaining 2030 and 2035 CO₂ targets is critical for investment certainty - and the continued growth of the emobility and EV charging ecosystems. And that, in turn, is the key to Europe's energy security challenge.
