Who will win the Charging Infrastructure Innovation Award 2025? These are the nominees

De uitreiking van de Laadinfra Innovatie Award vindt plaats tijdens het Congres Laadinfra Nederland.

The three nominations for the Charging Infrastructure Innovation Award have been announced. They are GridShield from ElaadNL, the bi-directional AC charger from We Drive Solar and biogas from Powercrumbs. The winner will be announced on 20 May during the Congres Laadinfra Nederland ’25 in Arnhem.

With the Laadinfra Innovation Award, the organisation of the Congres Laadinfra Nederland aims to highlight innovative products and services that make the charging infrastructure smarter, more efficient and more accessible. All entries have now been assessed and a three-member jury has nominated three entries from these. The nominees are:

  • GridShield by ElaadNL: GridShield is a smart safety net solution against grid overload. When peaks threaten, it temporarily reduces the charging capacity of electric cars, keeping the neighbourhood ‘online’ and allowing new charging points to be placed anyway – even with limited grid capacity.
  • Bi-directional AC charger from We Drive Solar: This innovative charging station not only charges, but can also feed energy back to the grid via a standard AC connection. Together with the Renault 5, smart control and car sharing, this solution offers a scalable way to deploy car batteries as temporary energy storage, helping to reduce grid congestion and make best use of locally generated solar energy.
  • Biogas from Powercrumbs: Powercrumbs converts residual biogas from water treatment into clean, emission-free power for charging plazas. Their mobile Powerbox enables off-grid charging in locations without grid connection, such as construction sites and nature reserves. With continuous power, smart technology and extremely low environmental impact (EIA), Powercrumbs offers a sustainable, circular alternative to traditional charging infrastructure and accelerates the energy transition in places where it was previously not possible.

Voting possible

From today, it is possible to vote for your favourite candidate for the Charging Infrastructure Innovation Award. Fifty per cent of the result will be determined by public votes and fifty per cent by the jury. The winner will receive the official Laadinfra Innovation Award 2025, extensive media attention – including an editorial article and newsletter placement on mobilityenergy.com and congreslaadinfra.nl – and extra visibility within the sector, both among policymakers and companies.

The award ceremony will take place during the Congres Laadinfra Nederland, which takes place on Tuesday 20 May at Act Eventstudios in Arnhem. Register here to attend the congress.
