4:20 pm - 5:25 pm Interactive Roundtable Sessions: Mix and Discuss EV High Power Charging and Battery Management Systems and What are the requirements for future Battery Management Systems?

In these closing twin-sessions, we invite delegates to mix & discuss by choosing 2 out of 6 deep
dive topics, and elaborate each with experts from the two conferences. For each topic you chose,
you have 30 minutes to discuss it in your group. The results will be presented at the end.
