EVs and charging
—
-
Tion will supply solar power to IONITY’s German network. The long-term agreement will support renewable electricity procurement for high-power EV charging infrastructure from 2027.
-
BetterFleet will manage charging for Metropolitan Police electric vehicles. The software will prioritise critical vehicles across depots and public networks.
-
Reading will install 2,600 on-street electric vehicle charge points. The rollout targets residential areas where homes lack driveway charging access.
-
Pod has acquired EO Charging to expand depot charging capability. The deal adds fleet software, energy management, and commercial charging expertise.
-
Fastned has secured approval for a 36-bay London charging hub. The Hanger Lane site will provide ultra-rapid 400kW charging and is expected to open in early 2027.
-
NGEN is expanding software-led battery control across European energy markets. Its SG Brain platform combines AI, storage dispatch, market signals, and real-time system optimisation.
-
Fraunhofer ISE has modelled depot charging for electric truck fleets using PV, battery storage, and energy management. The study found electricity cost reductions of up to 62.5% while keeping the logistics site within a 2MW grid connection.
-
Allye Energy has upgraded its MAX300 battery system for fleet depot electrification. The mobile unit now supports up to 400kW DC fast charging with more than 300kWh of storage, helping sites add charging capacity where grid upgrades remain constrained.
-
Versinetic is strengthening ISO 15118 support for charger manufacturers.
-
UK Power Networks’ Future Fleet project will model where electric HGV charging demand is likely to emerge, how local networks may be affected, and which flexible charging, storage, solar, and shared infrastructure models could reduce connection pressure.
