How can OCPP and interoperability support the development of reliable and scalable EV charging infrastructure across Africa?
On 17 November 2026, the Open Charge Alliance will host a webinar bringing together experts from UNEP, OCA, AFSEC and African mobility and charging initiatives. The webinar “Building Africa’s EV Charging Future and How OCPP Can Help” will take you from the broader market and policy context to practical experiences from across the continent.
Speakers will discuss:
- The development of EV charging in emerging markets
- The role of OCPP and open standards
- Continental e-mobility standards
- Regional use cases from Cameroon, Senegal, Rwanda and Kenya
- Practical challenges related to interoperability, connectivity, backend communication and payments
The webinar will feature Sacha Scheffer (UNEP), Lonneke Driessen and Alex van Rijswijck (OCA), Kofi Ampomah-Benefo (AFSEC), Merlin Tonka (Clemios), Mamadou Ndiaye (CETUD) and John Msingo (GoKabisa).
