Interoperability remains a central challenge for the charging industry in 2026, according to electrive.

A high-power charging demonstration took several attempts before the Mercedes-AMG and charging station communicated, electrive reported.

CharIN CTO Michael Keller said customers cannot be assured of successful charging at an unfamiliar station without 100% interoperability.

Publishing a standard is insufficient unless vehicle, charger and component manufacturers implement it so different products work together, according to electrive.
