EVs and charging
—
-
RAW Charging and Hubber have opened Aberdeen’s largest rapid hub. The Palmerston Road site combines ten 150kW bays with four 300kW bays and a substantial city centre grid connection.
-
UK Power Networks has opened DERMS access to IDNO customers. The change allows flexible demand and generation connections to use available network capacity without waiting for conventional reinforcement.
-
EZO has secured €150m to expand public EV charging infrastructure. The non-recourse facility will support more than 3,000 charge points representing over 100MW across Britain and Ireland.
-
STRABAG will build 140 charging points across 25 German sites. The motorway programme includes megawatt-class infrastructure for electric heavy goods vehicles and is scheduled for completion by 2030.
-
Kempower and Charge Hub are expanding fleet charging into Britain. Five South London bus-depot projects are already progressing towards commissioning.
-
Aegis Energy has started building its Sheffield commercial charging hub. The Smithywood site will provide charging at up to 400kW for vans and trucks alongside HVO refuelling.
-
SP Energy Networks is expanding battery-buffered charging across operational depots. TUAL’s PowerUp system combines energy storage with high-power DC charging where conventional infrastructure upgrades are difficult.
-
UK public EV charging reached 123,677 chargers by September 2026. The end-August total spans 47,810 locations and is 2,506 above July’s official figure, while the government’s 2026 methodology now measures independently controllable EVSE rather than physical devices.
-
TUAL expands battery-buffered charging across three SP Energy Networks sites. The first UK commercial rollout follows the Middlewich pilot, using integrated storage to provide high-power DC charging around constrained connections and 30-minute fleet dwell periods.
-
Clever has added 1,500 EDF charging points for Danish customers. The roaming agreement expands access to EDF’s existing public network, including 76 rapid chargers, rather than installing 1,500 additional physical charging points.
