Key facts about the EPBD, and why it matters for Commercial Real Estate.

On 15 July 2026, the European Commission opened infringement proceedings against all 27 EU member states for missing the 29 May deadline to transpose the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive into national law.

Here's the part property owners can't afford to miss: the delay is procedural. The deadlines written into the directive itself, including the EV charging requirements due 1 January 2027, have not changed.

Boutique hotels are built on details.

The linens, the lighting, the scent in the lobby, it all adds up. EV charging is quickly becoming part of that experience too.

What you should know before installing EV charging for your guests when you have a boutique hotel.

Switching to EVs doesn't erase your fleet's carbon footprint, the electricity to charge them still counts. Where and when you charge shapes that number, and smart charging can actually lower it, not just report it more easily.

Learn how EV charging affects Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions, and how smart charging and energy management can reduce your fleet's carbon footprint.

When vans return to the depot, charging usually starts immediately at full power. But many of those vehicles will sit parked for hours before their next route.

So why treat every charge as a sprint?
Intelligent charging uses the time that's already there. It spreads the load, aligns with cheaper energy moments, and keeps every vehicle ready by departure. Same outcome. Fewer peaks. Lower cost.

EV drivers don’t care about charging networks. They care about charging access that simply works.

That’s why interoperability matters.

We’re excited to announce that Smappee’s public charging network is now connected to Hubject’s intercharge ecosystem across Europe expanding seamless charging access for drivers, fleets and businesses operating across borders.

For our customers, this means:
• broader roaming access across Europe
• easier access to public charging infrastructure
• improved visibility of Smappee charging stations
• a more connected and frictionless charging experience

As eMobility scales, open ecosystems become essential. Through collaborations with leading interoperability platforms, Smappee continues building a smarter and more accessible charging ecosystem for Europe’s EV future.

Because EV charging should be simple wherever you are.

As EV adoption accelerates across Europe, seamless charging experiences are becoming essential for drivers, fleets and businesses operating across…

Most depot charging still works the same way.

Vehicle plugs in.
Charging starts immediately at full power.
Even when that vehicle won’t leave for another 10 hours.

With EV Ultra, Smappee now brings EPEX-connected optimisation to DC charging, extending the same smart charging intelligence already available for AC charging.

That means charging can adapt to:
• Departure times
• Site capacity
• Dynamic energy prices

Because DC charging is not always about speed.
Sometimes it’s about timing.
