And that’s a wrap for Power2Drive with team Smartcar! 💪 The energy here was incredible. Some cool things we learned: 🌍 The innovation and technology advancements in EV charging and energy in Europe is immense, and it’s making EV ownership for drivers and businesses more accessible than ever. 🔋As the price of charging hardware continues to decrease, charge point operators are focusing on differentiation through software and unique value adds to end users. 📱The consumer experience is everything — that’s where mobile apps come in to help drivers and businesses engage more effectively with available EV charging resources.
