CharIN Testival & Conference EUROPE 2026 – Germany
September 22 - September 25
CharIN Testival & Conference EUROPE 2026 will take place from September 22–25, 2026, at the All Electric Society Park in Blomberg, Germany, bringing together electric vehicle manufacturers, charging infrastructure providers, technology companies, engineers and other stakeholders from the global e-mobility ecosystem.
Hosted by Phoenix Contact, the event combines a strategic conference with hands-on interoperability testing of electric vehicle charging technologies. The program focuses on the practical implementation of reliable, interoperable and high-performance charging infrastructure as the mobility and energy sectors become increasingly interconnected.
The event begins on September 22 with the CharIN Conference EUROPE, which focuses on integrated energy solutions and the connection between e-mobility, energy systems, infrastructure, electrification, digitalization and automation.
The Testival then runs from September 23 through September 25, providing a real-world environment where participating companies can test and validate charging technologies, vehicles, charging equipment and communication systems.
The event will address major developments across the EV charging ecosystem, including charging interoperability, high-power charging, charging standards, cybersecurity, energy integration, battery energy storage systems, direct-current grids and sector coupling.
A Public Day on September 23 will provide visitors with access to technical presentations, facility tours, demonstrations and discussions about the energy and mobility transition.
Testing will take place outdoors under tents and solar roofs, with Phoenix Contact providing a high-power charging station capable of up to 720 kW with a CCS Type 2 interface for demanding next-generation electric vehicle and commercial vehicle testing.
The event will bring together vehicle manufacturers, EV charging equipment manufacturers, test-system providers, infrastructure operators, engineers and technology developers to advance interoperability and the practical deployment of sustainable charging solutions.
CharIN Testival & Conference EUROPE 2026 will conclude on September 25 following three days of Testival activities.
