GO TO-U recently returned from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 in Las Vegas – one of the world’s most influential tech events. From January 6–9, our team showcased the future of electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, held dozens of high-level meetings, and set the stage for major partnerships in the coming year.
CES 2026 was massive, hosting about 148,000 participants and 4,100 companies. For GO TO-U, it was the perfect platform to introduce our vision for the next stage of the industry: EV Charging 2.0.
EV Charging 2.0: Moving Beyond Basic Hardware
In the early days (EV Charging 1.0), the focus was simply on installing as many plugs as possible. But more stations didn't solve the main problem: unpredictability. Drivers never knew if a charger would be free, and operators couldn't predict their income.
EV Charging 2.0 changes the game. We believe charging shouldn't be a "random stop" – it should be a planned, seamless part of the journey. The GO TO-U Operating System connects stations, businesses, and drivers into one digital environment. This ensures a guaranteed spot for the driver and a stable, profitable business for the owner.
Strengthening Global Partnerships
CES 2026 allowed us to grow our current relationships and launch exciting new collaborations with industry leaders.
- bodeEV – A New Strategic Partnership: We are teaming up with bodeEV to scale fast-charging services across North and South America. By using the GO TO-U OS, bodeEV projects can see up to a 5x increase in station utilization and much smoother operations.

- MSI: We met with the MSI EVSE team to discuss how software transforms "just a piece of hardware" into a smart infrastructure. Our focus is on scaling AC charging in North America with 24/7 reliability.
- AISPEX: We discussed the unique challenges of the US market with AISPEX. We focused specifically on how our reservation technology improves the user experience and keeps stations busy.
- Autel Energy: Our ongoing work with Autel Energy continues to show great results. By combining their high-quality hardware with our software, we are proving that the EV Charging 2.0 model works in the real world today.
Joining the Mobility Dialogue
The GO TO-U team also joined the Connected Vehicle Systems Alliance (COVESA) events. We discussed how software-driven models are the only way to truly scale EV infrastructure. It was clear from our conversations: the industry is moving away from "just hardware" toward integrated, smart ecosystems.
Looking Ahead
Our four days in Las Vegas were incredibly productive. CES 2026 confirmed that the market is ready for a more intelligent approach to charging.
At GO TO-U, we are committed to making EV charging predictable, manageable, and profitable. The future of mobility isn't just about having a plug – it’s about EV Charging 2.0, where smart software makes everything work together.
