The full agenda — with receipts

A small, presumably affordable city EV and an electric van in one slot: the first widens the pool of drivers without a home charger, the second adds to depot and overnight charging demand. The useful details are AC/DC charging capability and whether the pricing brings in new buyers rather than swapping existing ones. Operators should treat this as a demand-mix signal, not just a car launch.

BYD is showing a plug-in hybrid (the Dolphin G DM-i) next to two Denza models, so the question for charging professionals is how much of the new volume will actually plug in. Watch the DC peak rates, the connector and the plug-in-hybrid share, because those decide whether Chinese brand growth lands on public chargers or only on home outlets. Sweden premieres are a good test of how fast these brands scale.

V2G only matters once it clears the business case, and this panel mixes an OEM (Kia), a hardware maker (Ferroamp) and a software/energy-management player (PowerLynk) with academic backing from LTH. The questions to push are: what is the actual revenue per car and year, which grid tariffs and rules limit it, and how are warranty and battery degradation handled? Property owners, DSOs and charge point operators should listen for results from real installations rather than concepts.

The IONIQ 3 points to another entrant in the volume segment, and the Staria Electric to a people-mover or van-type use case that has different charging needs. Look for DC charging speed, 800V or not, and price, since they decide the share of public fast-charging sessions versus home charging. Fleet and taxi-type operators should note the Staria.

Toyota's bZ4X Touring and two Lexus models show a legacy brand pushing deeper into electric across price tiers. The point for the charging sector is the charging curves and port standards on these cars, because a large, loyal customer base moving to EVs brings a lot of first-time public charger users. Check what real-world DC speeds they achieve, not just the peak.

Nine years of Laddguldet gives a benchmark of what municipal charging policy looks like when it is actually executed, from parking norms to public charging procurement. The question is which concrete measures the winner took that other municipalities and property owners can copy cheaply. Anyone selling to or working with municipalities and housing companies should pick up the winning criteria.

Xpeng shows a Sweden-premiere L03 and the P7+ at the fair, another Chinese brand testing the Nordic market. For charging professionals the question is the car's charging architecture and peak kW, and whether the price sets a new floor in its segment. More brands means more diverse charging behaviour on the networks.

The panel has two charging providers (ChargeNode, Recharge), a fuel retailer (St1) and the fuel industry's lobby organisation (Drivkraft Sverige), so expect different views on what really holds volumes back: price, incentives, charging access or policy. Charging utilization depends on how fast the fleet grows, so this is a direct revenue question for operators. Listen for which instruments they want and whether the fuel side and charging side agree.

Volvo EX60, Polestar 4, Leaf and Micra cover the premium SUV segment as well as affordable small EVs, where charging needs differ most. The Swedish home market for Volvo and Polestar makes their charging specs a bellwether for the network. Ask about DC peak rates, bidirectional capability and whether the small cars widen the group of drivers who depend on public charging.

The core issues are how fast EVs take over, how smart charging is in practice today and what stops cars from becoming a grid resource. The speaker comes from Power Circle, so expect a grid and market perspective rather than a vehicle one. The gap between the potential flexibility of the fleet and what is actually used is the number to look for.

With a new government, the questions that matter for the charging business are incentives, taxation, the reduction obligation on fuels and support for charging infrastructure, since each moves the demand curve directly. The panel covers the car industry (Mobility Sweden), the utility side (Vattenfall) and the climate lobby (2030-sekretariatet), so contrasting priorities should show up. Operators and investors should note which decisions are expected, and when, rather than general ambitions.

Households without a home charger, mainly in multi-dwelling buildings, are the largest untapped EV segment, and financing terms and TCO decide whether they buy. The session should show how charging access in housing associations feeds into leasing and loan pricing, and what a lender actually needs to see to treat home charging as a bankable asset. Relevant for CPOs, property owners and anyone selling residential charging.

Comparing Sweden with Norway, Denmark and Finland isolates which levers move BEV share: taxes and incentives, model supply, charging access or consumer confidence. The charging-relevant question is how much of the gap comes from infrastructure and how much from policy and pricing. Anyone forecasting Swedish charging demand should want the answer, because it sets the realistic volume curve.

The panel mixes road authority, OEMs (including a Chinese entrant), industry body, grid-side expertise and an owners' organisation, so it covers the whole mass-market chain. The questions to test: is charging still the main barrier for mainstream buyers, or have price, residual value and home-charging access taken over? Pay attention to what is said on grid capacity and apartment-dwellers, since that is where charging operators have the most to gain or lose.

A survey of 6,467 EV owners is a sizeable sample of real-world charging behaviour and frustration. The useful cuts are home versus public charging share, reliability and payment pain points, and price sensitivity at public chargers. Operators should read it as unfiltered feedback on their product, not as a sentiment exercise.

Electrification adds high-voltage and charging-system work to workshops and installers, so the skills pipeline is a real constraint on rollout and uptime. The recruitment study should show how big the shortfall is and whether training keeps pace with EV and charger servicing needs. Worth a look for anyone who depends on technicians for installation and maintenance.

The used EV market decides whether the second wave of buyers, often those with weaker charging access, can afford the switch. Independent battery state-of-health data reduces price uncertainty, which affects residual values, leasing rates and the charging profile of the car. This is a vendor session, so look for how the diagnostics are validated and whether they cover fast-charging history.

Crowd-sourced reviews are one of the few feedback channels on charger uptime and real prices, and they show what drivers experience beyond what operators report. The questions: how are reviews turned into action by CPOs, and does the data show reliability gaps in the Swedish network? A vendor pitch, but the issue of public charging reliability is a serious one.

Battery health is the main uncertainty for used EV buyers, and it shapes both prices and how much those cars need fast charging. The session should explain what a diagnostic measures, how reliable it is, and whether it factors in charging habits. A vendor presentation, so test the claims against independent data.

A new model launch from a Chinese brand matters to charging professionals mainly through its specs: maximum DC charging power, charge curve, connector and battery size. Compact, lower-priced models draw buyers who rely more on public charging. Check the numbers on 10–80% time and price positioning in Sweden.

An electric van or people-carrier points toward commercial and shuttle use, where depot charging, uptime and charge speed drive the business case. Details on battery capacity, DC power and real-world consumption are what matter for fleet and CPO planning. Speaker affiliations are unclear, so treat it as a product presentation until the figures are on the table.

The bZ4X Touring is an estate version of an existing EV, a body style that sells well in Sweden. For charging professionals the question is whether the charging performance (peak DC power, curve, cold-weather behaviour) is competitive with rivals. It is also a signal of how a big legacy OEM is adapting to the Nordic market.

Lexus RZ and ES are premium EVs, where buyers expect fast, seamless charging and are likely to charge at home or at work. Look for the DC peak power, the charge curve and any plug-and-charge or roaming features. Relevant mainly for operators targeting the premium and company-car segment.

The title promises a collaborative view of charging quality, but the description is empty. The session should name who has to act (CPOs, roaming platforms, OEMs, drivers) and what they should do. Listen for concrete mechanisms such as data sharing, feedback loops or incentives, and for evidence that they improve uptime and the driver experience, not just intentions. Anyone who operates, roams on or depends on public charging should care.

Public votes shape which cars and services Swedish drivers trust, so this is a read on consumer sentiment as much as a contest. The description is empty, so check three things: which categories the finalists are in, whether charging services and networks are among them, and how the online vote is run. Of interest to anyone selling to Swedish EV drivers, from OEMs and CPOs to app providers.

A new XPENG model is a demand signal for charging operators. Only the title is known, so the useful questions are practical: what are the Swedish pricing and launch timing, what charging curve and connector setup does it have, and how well will it work on the existing fast-charging network? It's most relevant to CPOs forecasting load and to anyone tracking Chinese OEMs' share of the Nordic market.

A Staria EV points at the van and people-mover segment, where charging needs differ from a typical hatchback: larger vehicles, more fleet and business use, and stricter demands on uptime and parking. Only the title is known, so ask about real-world range, DC charging power, and whether sites are built for vehicles of this size. Fleet managers and CPOs planning depot or destination charging should pay attention.
