The global association that brings together automobile manufacturers, charging station manufacturers, component suppliers, energy suppliers and network operators around electric mobility, CharIN (for Charging Interface Initiative Inc.) has chosen Valencia these days, and for Spain for the first time, to celebrate its European meeting. Its president, Claas Bracklo, director of Policy at BMW, assured this morning during the inauguration that its celebration in Valencia is due to the fact that the industry “is a model” as is Power Electronics, the company that hosts this event in its Llíria facilities.
The CharIN Testival brings together the entire electric charging infrastructure and its events are held three times a year in Asia, North America and Europe, but this week’s event is the first time in Spanish territory. For Power Electronics, the host, it is “a pleasure” to host an event of this impact that will also allow for “networking and new business opportunities”, as explained by David Salvo, CEO of the Valencian company. “Valencia has been growing as a renewable hub for many years, almost a decade, and for us it is an honor to be able to help,” added the businessman.
For Adriano Mones, CharIN ambassador in Spain, the Valencian Community is “a friendly territory” for the development of electric mobility. This Tuesday, companies and professionals are developing a conference program around the challenges of the sector, and tomorrow and Wednesday will be days to test the new technologies in which companies related to the sector that promote the generalization of electric vehicle recharging are already working. under the CCS protocol. The event expects about 170 people this Tuesday and another 200 tomorrow, Wednesday.
Likewise, the head of the Consell, Carlos Mazón, spoke on this opening day, which was also his first visit to the Power Electronics plant, one of the main players in the sector. Mazón has pointed out that the Valencian Community is “in the focus of investments” and has linked this prominence to the “new environment of taxation and the elimination of prejudices that says ‘welcome’ to new investments.” “The Valencian Community is now a place where interesting things happen and where companies want to be,” he noted in his inaugural speech.
