After four impactful years, the eCharge4Drivers project is coming to a close. To mark this important milestone, the project will host a Final Event in Barcelona on 7 November 2024.

Since 2020, eCharge4Drivers has been at the forefront of transforming Electric Vehicle (EV) charging, developing user-friendly solutions tested at 10 demonstration sites located in urban areas and along interurban corridors.

The eCharge4Drivers final event is a unique opportunity to celebrate the project’s main achievements and results, explore the future of EV charging, and engage with industry leaders.

This full-day event, hosted at the Barcelona City Council (240 Avinguda Diagonal), will offer key insights into the project’s results and provide a platform to engage with industry leaders. The event features a full-day conference hosted at Barcelona City Council, 240 Avinguda Diagonal, and follows the 2024 editions of the Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress and the SmartCity Expo World Congress, creating a convenient opportunity for attendees to explore the future of electromobility.
