Hubject Spring Tech Days: Interoperability for EV Charging Infrastructure

a Hubject Testing Facility in-person event | 9th – 11th June

Join Hubject, top Electric Vehicle Manufacturers (OEMs), Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) manufacturers, and Charge Point Operators (CPOs) for three days in Berlin dedicated to navigating the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) and turning it into real business opportunity.

From 2026, all new or renovated publicly accessible charging points in the EU must support ISO 15118-2. From 2027, any charger offering automatic authentication must support both ISO 15118-2 and ISO 15118-20. Every business in the ecosystem has its own questions about what needs to happen next. Hubject Spring Tech Days is where those questions get answered, with expert guidance, hands-on testing, and practical insights for every business in the EV charging ecosystem.

In a significant addition to the program, representatives from the European Commission will participate directly in the regulatory landscape session, providing first-hand clarity on the EU's requirements and timelines.

The EU STF PKI ecosystem CTL Interoperability Working Group will also be convening on site in parallel, with members joining selected sessions and the networking reception.

This is your opportunity to:

✅ Understand what AFIR requires and what ISO 15118-20 means in practice for your business
