Africa’s transition to electric mobility requires charging systems that work seamlessly across operators, platforms and borders, while responding to the growing energy demands of heavy-duty vehicles. This debate will explore interoperability, grid readiness and the infrastructure needed to electrify buses, trucks and commercial fleets. It will bring together perspectives from utilities, charging operators, vehicle manufacturers, policymakers and technology providers to examine open protocols, roaming and payments, grid capacity, high-power charging and the commercial models needed to build a reliable and scalable ecosystem.
