EVs and charging



  • Fluke targets fast charger testing bottleneck

    Fluke has launched a DC charger analyser for field teams. The FEV500 combines safety, communication, and interoperability checks for fast chargers, helping service teams validate stations without using a vehicle on site.


  • UK Networks launches EV charging battery tender

    A UK tender targets batteries for constrained charging sites nationwide. The first 22 systems form the opening phase of a 160-location programme designed to support high-power EV charging where grid capacity is too limited for direct connection.


  • Sensata launches integrated EV fault contactor

    Sensata has launched a combined contactor and passive fuse device. FaultBreak is validated to 16 kA at 1 kV and is designed to cut component counts, weight, and thermal losses in EV power systems.


  • Elucian adds IP65 EV distribution boards

    Elucian has broadened its EV board offer for UK installers. The new IP65 range adds pre-configured protection, weather-resistant enclosures, and EV-specific circuit arrangements as charging work continues to push consumer unit design into more specialised territory.
