Built infrastructure requirements

Charging concerns remain the biggest reason for consumers not to buy an electric vehicle, so the issue has to be resolved if the targets for rapid EV rollouts are to be achieved.

The Vehicle-Grid Innovation Laboratory (ViGIL) from Dekra is now open and offering testing and certification services for future mobility. 

FreeWire Technologies, a provider of battery-integrated EV charging stations and energy management solutions, has acquired Mobilyze.ai, a platform that uses artificial intelligence to help site hosts strategically place fast-charging stations to maximise their return on investment. 

EV charging infrastructure needs to be "ahead of the curve" to support the rapidly increasing numbers of EVs on the roads, according to the chair of Ford of Britain.

Sweden-headquartered Charge Amps has launched three new products: the Dawn charging station; Beam charging cable; and Amp Guard, a load balancer.

Transport for London (TfL) wants to sell its fast-developing electric vehicle (EV) charging expertise, says Alex Gilbert, head of energy and electrification.

Volvo Group and North American-based Pilot Company plan to develop public, high-performance charging infrastructure in North America for medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles.
