As part of the IEEE PES Day 2025 celebrations, the IEEE PES ENET’Com student branch chapter hosted an insightful panel discussion on Electric Vehicles and Charging Infrastructures: Driving the Future with Sustainable Mobility. This event, organized in collaboration with IEEE PES DeKUT, IEEE Power & Energy Society Tunisia Chapter, and IEEE Power & Energy Society Kenya Chapter, offered a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange and meaningful discussions on the future of sustainable transportation. The interactive panel, featuring Miss Achouak Guirat, Mr. Arnold Omolo, Miss Faith Waraki, and Mr. Boubaker Siala, provided participants with valuable insights into electric vehicle technologies and charging infrastructures. Attendees actively engaged with the panelists, fostering a rich dialogue that enhanced understanding of global energy trends and innovative solutions. Through this initiative, we proudly contributed to PES Day by inspiring collaboration, sharing expertise, and promoting the advancement of sustainable mobility.
