Events at the International Mobility Summit: Key Announcements and Notable Developments in Europe and the USA

In the realm of electric mobility, yesterday saw a significant gathering at the "Summit of Leaders in Electric Mobility in the USA, Spain, and Europe," hosted by the Mobility Portal Group.

The event, which brought together stakeholders from the mobility ecosystem, including Semtech, Dhemax, and EV Jungle, among others, focused primarily on the deployment of charging infrastructure and the challenges and achievements of eMobility.

Semtech, a company known for its commitment to mission-critical applications and top-level security in cellular connectivity, played a crucial role in ensuring reliable infrastructure for electric vehicles.

Meanwhile, Erika Myers, Executive Director of CharIN North America, highlighted a trend shift in the U.S. automotive market. While light-duty vehicles have dominated sales, Myers noted an increasing availability of medium-duty vehicles.

Sebastian Etchevest, CEO at EV Jungle, announced ambitious expansion plans, aiming to establish a presence in Latin America, Canada, Mexico, and the U.S., with Southern Europe potentially being the next target.

The Global Mobility Call (GMC) event, which is expected to attract over 10,000 professional visitors and another 15,000 online participants, also included two panels, two exclusive interviews, and discussions with professionals and enthusiasts from the electric mobility sector.

Jeroen Jonker, Business Consultant eMobility, was present at the event, but no specific statements were attributed to him in the provided information.

Dhemax, a company operating an effective and cost-efficient charging management system, shared their plans for expansion, with operations already underway in Valparaiso, Chile, and progress being made in Spain, Mexico, and the U.S.

Dieter Debels, Founder & Chief Strategy Officer at RetailSonar, discussed the challenges of activating local charging point operators (CPOs) in countries like Spain and Portugal, citing a lack of direct sales channels as a significant issue.

One of the main challenges in the UK, according to Scott Rose, is consumer confidence in electric mobility. Governments could potentially provide more support for CPOs in the deployment of necessary infrastructure to boost this confidence.

Arturo Pérez de Lucía González, in a statement, highlighted the difference between Spain's B2C market and Portugal's, emphasizing the need to educate the public in Spain about the benefits and safety of electric mobility.

The details of the involved partners supporting GMC in the "Summit of Leaders in Electric Mobility in the USA, Spain, and Europe" together with Félix Pérez-Fajardo were not specified in the available search results.
