Hardware & Software Interoperability: Simplifying Access to Your Charging Stations
While the path to interoperability seems simple in theory, the EV charging sector is not in alignment when it comes to standardization and stakeholder collaboration. Merely a small portion of charging stations globally actually achieve true interoperability, leading to disjointed user experiences, constrained accessibility choices, and higher costs for EV charging station owners.
This panel will discuss:
- The systems and collaborations required from the entire EV ecosystem (automakers, charging solution providers, and regulatory support) to make interoperability a reality
- The current solutions and system integration technologies that are paving the way right now for interoperability success
- How interoperability can lead to reduced infrastructure costs, better customer experience, and enhanced revenue opportunities
