The smarter E AWARD – Category E-Mobility

Power2Drive seeks to promote a new kind of mobility with the entire range of industry innovations. Power2Drive, the international exhibition for charging infrastructure and e-mobility in connection with renewable energies puts the spotlight on technologies and business models that make the new kind of mobility a sustainable experience today and in the future.

This is why The smarter E AWARD in the category E-Mobility honors companies that make a key contribution to the industry’s success. Every year, the innovation prize for electromobility and charging infrastructure recognizes technical innovations and pioneering solutions in the AWARD category E-Mobility.

Electromobility has become increasingly established for private transport in recent years, and the industry has been producing a wide array of innovations. This is why it is high time to present an AWARD that gives these innovations the attention they deserve.
