Mission and Professional Profile The Emobility Association focuses on the professional and business aspects of transport electrification. Their goal is not merely to promote electric vehicles, but to actively co-create an ecosystem that includes advanced battery systems, smart grids, and sustainable energy. Led by recognized experts like Primož Lemež, the association is considered a pioneer and a critical observer of e-mobility development in Slovenia. Key Activities and Projects: International Emobility Symposiums: For over a decade, the association has organized the central annual symposium in Slovenia, hosting speakers from the world's most advanced e-mobility countries (Norway, Netherlands, Germany, USA). The event covers a wide range of topics, from autonomous vehicle development and market analysis to technical battery details and charging interoperability. Conference for Local Communities: A special emphasis is placed on municipalities. Through specialized conferences, they educate local decision-makers on how to effectively implement zero-emission public transport and prepare infrastructure for their citizens. These events also include awards for the most e-mobility-friendly cities and municipalities in Slovenia. Partnership with the German BEM Association: Through its partnership with BEM (Bundesverband eMobilität), which represents over 300 companies, the Slovenian association provides local businesses with access to an international network of experts, politicians, and investors in Brussels, Berlin, and Shanghai. Professional Consulting: The association offers professional assistance to companies in establishing charging infrastructure and optimizing electric vehicle fleets, emphasizing the importance of qualified personnel and economically sustainable business models. Battery Technologies: Recently, they have been highly active in the field of battery systems (e.g., Southeast Europe Battery Conference), connecting science (such as the National Institute of Chemistry) with industry to facilitate the green energy transition and energy storage solutions. Public Role The Emobility Association acts as an independent voice, regularly assessing the country's progress in implementing e-mobility. Through their content, shared via their website and newsletters, they ensure the flow of competent information, helping to prevent misguided investments and encouraging Slovenia's path toward becoming one of the most e-mobility-developed countries in the world.
