Events / Building Africa’s EV Charging Future and How OCPP Can Help

Webinar

Join us on November 17 for a webinar exploring how OCPP and interoperability can support the development of reliable and scalable EV charging infrastructure across Africa.

The programme will take you from the broader market context to practical experiences from across the continent. Speakers from UNEP, AFSEC, the Open Charge Alliance and African mobility and charging initiatives will discuss the opportunities and challenges of building interoperable charging networks that respond to local needs and can evolve as markets grow.

The webinar is based on the recently published whitepaper Open and Interoperable Electric Vehicle Charging in Emerging Markets, which explores how OCPP can support the adoption of electric mobility in emerging markets.

These are our speakers:

  • Lonneke Driessen (OCA) on the fundamentals of OCPP
  • Sacha Scheffer (UNEP) on EV charging in emerging markets and the broader context
  • Kofi Ampomah-Benefo (AFSEC) on continental e-mobility standards
  • Merlin Tonka (Clemios) with a regional perspective from Cameroon
  • Mamadou Ndiaye (CETUD) with a regional perspective from Senegal
  • John Msingo (GoKabisa) with a regional perspective from Rwanda and Kenya
  • Alex van Rijswijck (OCA) on the role of OCPP in emerging markets

The webinar “Building Africa’s EV Charging Future and How OCPP Can Help” takes place on November 17 at 1:00 PM CET | 3:00 PM EAT
