Registration is now open for the SCALE Final Conference, taking place on 24–25 November 2025 in Utrecht, the Netherlands. This two-day event marks the culmination of the project and will showcase SCALE’s results, lessons learned, and recommendations to support the mass deployment of electric vehicles through smart and bidirectional charging.
Since 2022, SCALE’s consortium of 29 partners has worked on the technical, organisational, economic, social, and policy aspects of smart charging and V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) solutions across homes, public spaces, businesses, and depots. The Final Conference will bring together experts, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss project outcomes, pilot use cases, and policy recommendations. Sessions will highlight the flexibility potential of EV batteries, explore how V2X can enable a more resilient grid and renewable integration, and outline the steps required for large-scale deployment.
The first day (24 November) will feature presentations of SCALE use cases, in-depth sessions on V2X opportunities, and debates on policy frameworks to enable mass adoption. The day will close with a networking cocktail and live demonstration.
On the morning of 25 November, the programme continues with optional visits and the Final SCALE Bidirectional Cities Event, where more details will be published shortly.
The conference takes place just ahead of the 2025 POLIS Conference, offering a unique opportunity for city representatives and stakeholders to align discussions on electromobility and urban policy. We look forward to welcoming you in Utrecht for this milestone event that celebrates SCALE’s achievements and charts the way forward for smart, interoperable, and bidirectional charging.
