The three nominees for the Charging Infrastructure Innovation Award Belgium have been announced. They are Panion from K2 Mobility, the Solar Life AC V2G Charger from We Drive Solar and the platform Voltico. The winner will be announced on 10 February during the Congres Laadinfra ’26 in Brussels.

With the Charging Infrastructure Innovation Award, the organisers of the Congress Charging Infrastructure Belgium want to highlight innovations that most advance Belgium’s charging infrastructure. All entries have now been assessed and a three-member jury has nominated three innovations from these. These are the nominees:

Panion by K2 Mobility

K2 Mobility’s Panion focuses on efficient charging of electric trucks and buses. Instead of steering solely on low energy costs, Panion uses real-time data such as trip plans, vehicle status, available charging infrastructure and grid capacity. In this way, the system determines when and how vehicles should charge so that they are deployable on time and the grid is not overloaded.

Solar Life AC V2G Charger from We Drive Solar

This innovation shows how electric sharing cars can help reduce grid congestion and make the energy system more sustainable. Using bidirectional V2G charging stations from We Drive Solar and electric cars from Renault, share cars from MyWheels are used as temporary energy storage. When there is a surplus of solar and wind energy, the cars charge, while when energy demand is high, they feed power back to the grid. This reduces evening peaks and reduces the use of fossil energy.

Voltico

This innovation enables companies with charging infrastructure to generate additional revenue from electric charging. Voltico automates the management of e-credits (emission rights) awarded for supplying sustainable charging electricity. The platform automatically collects all charging data, checks it for accuracy and submits the data flawlessly to the regulator in accordance with applicable regulations. As a result, companies do not have to deal with complex administration or compliance requirements.

Voting

From today, it is possible to vote for the nominees for the Charging Infrastructure Innovation Award. The nominee with the most public votes as well as the highest jury score (both count for 50 per cent) will receive the 2026 Charging Infra Innovation Award.

The award will be presented during the Congress Laadinfra ’26 on 10 February 2026 in Square, Brussels. Voting is possible until Tuesday 10 February at noon.
