MASTER CLASS #1: CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE, 2023, BELGIUM.

On May 31 and June 1, 2023, the first ZCI Masterclass focused on Charging Infrastructure was held in the city of Mechelen, Belgium. Project partners presented the current state of charging infrastructure in their cities and problems and challenges facing its development.
