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.
-
Instavolt has added battery energy storage to five more rapid charging sites, using BESS to support high-power EV charging where grid capacity remains constrained.
-
Installers face a final claims deadline for closing OZEV schemes.
-
ABB E-mobility has launched the OM X-Series for high-duty fleet and corridor charging. The distributed system scales from 800kW to 10MW across more than 100 chargepoints.
