LF Energy Summit Europe 2026

The 7K Challenge is an open, objective competition that puts a realistic 7,000-bus model of the French transmission grid into the hands of researchers and companies worldwide, and asks them to reconstruct its power injections into a credible, physically sound operating point. Coordinated by RTE and CRESYM, with the challenge designed and run by eRoots, it is a rare proving ground where new methods meet a real national-scale grid and are judged on the same transparent metrics.

Join us for the official EVerest project meetup, happening alongside the LF Energy Summit!

EVerest is a flagship LF Energy project developing an open-source, modular software stack for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). By providing a unified framework for EV charging infrastructure, EVerest accelerates the adoption of e-mobility and solves critical interoperability issues involving protocols like ISO 15118 and OCPP.

What to expect:

• Project Updates: Hear the latest news, roadmap updates, and feature developments directly from the core maintainers.
• Deep Dives: Engage in technical discussions around e-mobility protocols, hardware integration, and smart charging use cases.
• Community Building: Meet hardware manufacturers, software developers, and EV enthusiasts face-to-face to share ideas and foster collaboration.

This is a fantastic opportunity to sync up with the community and help drive the future of open-source EV charging.

Note: Food and beverages will not be provided for this meetup
