Forum topics

What Are the Trends and Forecasts in the Electric Vehicle Market?

Jack Scarlett, a renowned journalist and automotive presenter from the “Fully Charged Show,” which has over 1.1 million subscribers, will discuss the latest trends and forecasts in the electric vehicle market. He is coming to Vilnius with a provocative question: Are the cars we drive too big? Perhaps a smaller, more energy-efficient electric vehicle is all we need.

Speaker: Jack Scarlett, automotive presenter of “Fully Charged Show”

Electromobility in the Baltics: Lithuania’s Path in a Regional Context

Agnė Bagočiutė will present Lithuania’s progress in advancing electric mobility, focusing on how national policies are being put into action. She will explore the practical steps taken to support the transition to electric transport and compare Lithuania’s approach with developments in Latvia and Estonia, highlighting both shared challenges and regional differences in implementation.

The Baltic Way: Can Small Markets Lead Big Change in E-Mobility

Eimantas Balta, Head of EV Charging for the Baltics at Ignitis, explores how the Baltic region is punching above its weight in e-mobility — and why B2B partners hold the keys to unlocking scale, innovation, and new revenue streams in the charging ecosystem.

His presentation will outline key initiatives supporting the decarbonisation and electrification of transport, the role of digitalisation, and cross-border coordination in accelerating the shift towards clean and efficient mobility across Europe.

Speaker: Rein Juriado, Policy Officer at the European Commission

Discussion: Shaping Tomorrow’s Transport

J. Scarlett will participate in a discussion moderated by Andrius Šeršniovas, Head of EV Charging Network Development Lithuania at Ignitis. E-mobility experts will explore key topics, including innovations, technological advancements, and more. The audience is also invited to participate in the discussion.

The behaviour shift: how new charging tech will change the way we drive

This session explores the future of electric vehicle (EV) charging and its impact on driver behaviour. We’ll examine how charging methods are expected to evolve over the next 1, 2, and 5 years. The talk will cover emerging technologies currently in development, their potential to transform the EV market, and how they may reshape everyday driving habits. We will also address the key challenges—technical, regulatory, and behavioral—that could slow this transition, and discuss what must be done to overcome them.

Participants: Aivaras Knieža, Sales Director at Elinta Charge
