Compatibility Issues: A Shared Industry Challenge
EV charging software provider Driivz conducted a survey across North America and Europe, revealing that vehicle-to-charger compatibility issues accounted for 45% of charging failures—the top cause. The study involved 300 ...
Experience and feedback from my partners suggest that many Charge Point Operators (CPOs) are unknowingly leaving money on the table. Despite securing high-capacity grid connections and investing in premium distributed charging systems, many still find their site’s actual...
With the European Council’s formal adoption of the revised Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) in February 2026 and its official publication in March, the European electric vehicle (EV) charging landscape has reached a pivotal milestone. This update is more than a technical iteration; it repres...
When Alpitronic unveiled its HYC400 Series 2 fast charger in March 2026, the industry didn’t just notice a larger screen. It noticed a shift in priorities: this flagship product had been redesigned with wheelchair users at the center of the process. That wasn’t a marketing decision. I...
