LUNCH AND NETWORKING

13:10

eCharging is becoming profitable—but not with the infrastructure you are currently building

  • Why today’s charging business models are failing: Despite rapid infrastructure expansion, profitability remains elusive due to commoditized pricing, low utilization, and intensifying competitive pressure.
  • The real battleground: customer-centric monetization: Future winners will unlock growth by mastering highly flexible, tailored pricing and contract models across B2B, fleet, e-truck, and consumer segments.
  • Rethinking the tech stack for profitable scale: Existing charging infrastructure and platforms aren’t built for this level of agility. Success requires a fundamental redesign to enable experimentation, differentiation, and scalable revenue growth.
