ChargeTec 2026: From Charge Points to Critical Systems At the ChargeTec Conference 2026 in Munich, the message was clear: EV charging no longer succeeds by adding more charge points alone, but by making infrastructure reliable, grid-aware, data-driven and commercially scalable. Andrea Hoffmann-Topp
When charging stations become part of the firewall EV charging points could evolve from simple energy suppliers into active security nodes. Integrated into vehicle security architectures, they may help detect and stop cyberattacks long before threats reach the car or backend systems. Chris Löwer
