"ees South America plays a fundamental role in creating a link between manufacturers and the energy storage market. This year, we noticed that visitors were highly qualified and specialised –people who knew what they were looking for.

"We think of Power2Drive South America as a strategic event. We have exhibited at Intersolar South America for some years now, and we have recently seen how electric mobility has evolved its share in it, with the increasing presence of charging station systems as well as providers of photovoltaic solutions exhibiting charging infrastructure applications. I have no doubt that next year the space dedicated to electric mobility will have to be even larger, as that is where things are converging to."
