WEHE - WORLD ELECTRIC EXHIBITION - CHINA 2026

WEHE 2026: Powering the Future at the World Electric Exhibition in Guangzhou

Scheduled for September 16-18, 2026, the World Electric Exhibition (WEHE) returns to Guangzhou, China, positioning itself as the premier global platform driving the electrification revolution. Held at the expansive China Import and Export Fair Complex (Canton Fair Complex), WEHE 2026 is set to be the definitive gathering point for industry leaders, innovators, policymakers, and investors shaping the future of energy and mobility.

Core Focus & Key Themes:

WEHE 2026 will comprehensively cover the entire electrification value chain, centered around critical themes:

1. Electric Vehicles (EVs): The heart of the exhibition, showcasing the latest passenger cars, commercial vehicles, buses, and two/three-wheelers. Highlights include next-gen battery technologies (solid-state, silicon anode), ultra-fast charging solutions (800V+ platforms), advanced electric motors and power electronics, autonomous driving integration, and innovative vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications.
2. Renewable Energy Integration: Focusing on the synergy between renewables and electrification. Exhibits will cover large-scale solar PV and wind power generation, advanced inverters, smart grid components, microgrids, and innovative solutions for grid stability and management to handle the influx of variable renewable energy and EV charging loads.
3. Energy Storage: Addressing the critical need for grid-scale and distributed storage. Technologies on display will encompass lithium-ion battery systems (including recycling), flow batteries, hydrogen storage solutions, compressed air energy storage (CAES), and advanced battery management systems (BMS).
4. Smart Grid & Digitalization: Highlighting the intelligent backbone of the electrified future. Features include smart meters, grid sensors, advanced distribution automation, AI/ML for predictive maintenance and load forecasting, cybersecurity for grid infrastructure, and digital twin technology.
5. Key Components & Materials: Showcasing the fundamental enablers, from high-performance cathode/anode materials and separators to advanced semiconductor chips (SiC, GaN), power modules, connectors, thermal management solutions, and lightweight materials for EVs.
