🚚⚡ Charging infrastructure doesn’t usually fail because of the hardware. It fails because of operations.

With SIL Barcelona putting logistics and mobility in focus this week, it is a good moment to reflect on how fleet charging projects are really being approached.

In many cases, the conversation still starts with the charger itself: power, connectors or number of units. Yet, in real operations, that is rarely the biggest challenge.

The real complexity begins when charging infrastructure has to perform under operational pressure:

• Vehicles returning to base at the same time
• Limited site power availability
• Peak demand periods
• Lack of operational visibility
• No room for downtime

That is why fleet electrification should not be approached as a hardware deployment, but as an operational system.

Before selecting chargers, five key questions should be addressed:

1️⃣ Operating profile
How vehicles behave in real life defines the charging strategy.

2️⃣ Site power reality
Available power often matters more than theoretical charging power.

3️⃣ Charging orchestration
Without Dynamic Load Management, constraints and costs can escalate quickly.

4️⃣ Visibility and control
If you cannot monitor, analyse and anticipate, you are reacting rather than managing.

5️⃣ Service and scalability
The infrastructure must continue to perform as fleets grow and operations become more demanding.

Fleet electrification is not only about installing charging infrastructure. It is about designing a system capable of operating efficiently under real-world conditions, today and as requirements evolve in the future.

🚚⚡ For delivery fleet electrification, what is most often underestimated in a charging project?

With SIL Barcelona taking place this week, it’s a good moment to reflect on how logistics operators are approaching fleet electrification.

In many projects, the conversation still starts with charger power. But in real logistics operations, charging infrastructure is not just about hardware.

Performance depends on how well the entire ecosystem is designed:

✔️ Site power availability
✔️ Dynamic Load Management (DLM)
✔️ Operational visibility and data
✔️ Monitoring and supervision tools
✔️ Service strategy and scalability

Without the right tools, such as COSMOS, it becomes harder to maintain control, optimise performance and detect issues before they affect operations.

And in critical logistics environments, service is not secondary. Preventive maintenance, remote monitoring and fast response times can directly impact uptime and business continuity.

So, in your opinion, what is most often underestimated in fleet charging projects?

- Site power & load profile
- Operational visibility & data
- Service response & maintenance
- Scalability for fleet growth

⚡ From parking to smart mobility hub

What if drivers could know where to park and charge before even starting their trip?

Today, parking is no longer just a destination. It is becoming an active part of the urban mobility network.

With solutions like CirPark, operators can transform parking facilities into predictive, connected and more efficient mobility hubs:

🔹 Real-time occupancy before arrival
Parking spots and charger availability can be shared through platforms or mobility applications, helping users choose the best option before reaching their destination.

🔹 Parking guidance
Once inside, drivers are guided directly to the most suitable space: EV charging spots indicated by displays and occupancy sensors (white colour = Free EV spot as shown in the picture), accessible parking areas, or exits.

🔹 One system, one platform
Parking and EV charging payment processes, along with user guidance, work together through a single integrated solution, improving operational efficiency for operators and reducing friction for drivers.

The result: less traffic searching for parking, better planning for users and parking facilities becoming key nodes in smart urban mobility.

Parking is no longer a passive space. It is part of the journey.

We expand our OZEV-eligible EV charging portfolio in the UK

Having recently expanded our portfolio of EV charging solutions listed on the UK Government’s Authorised Chargepoint Model List (OZEV), the vast majority of our chargers are now eligible for public funding schemes.

Included models cover a wide range of use cases:
✔️ eHome 5 for residential EV charging
✔️ WB eNext Park for controlled-access parking environments
✔️ eVolve range (wall-mounted & pedestal) for public, corporate and fleet applications
✔️ Raption Compact 80 for DC fast charging in public and fleet environments

🔗 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/authorised-chargepoint-model-list

For installer partners, operators, and project developers, this means easier access to grant funding and reduced complexity in project deployments.

This update confirms compliance with UK technical and regulatory requirements, while also reinforcing our ongoing investment and growth in the UK market.

Residential and commercial chargepoints eligible for electric vehicle chargepoint grants.

🚗⚡ Parking is no longer just a place to park

As electric mobility continues to grow, parking facilities are becoming increasingly complex environments, where parking management, EV charging and security must work together.

In this context, real-time information becomes essential.

With solutions like CirPark, it is possible to go beyond traditional parking operations:

✔️ Vehicle identification through license plate recognition
✔️ Seamless link between charging sessions and vehicles
✔️ Dynamic pricing based on space type and usage
✔️ Real-time signage for EV charging availability

At the same time, security is becoming a key factor.

Smart camera-based sensors such as the K-Sensor can detect unusual behavior or suspicious movements, triggering immediate alerts for operators.

This adds a new layer of control and traceability in real situations, from security incidents to identifying vehicles involved in damage.

The future of parking lies in integration: mobility, energy and security working as a single system.

⚡ The bottleneck is not the charger

In many EV charging projects, the focus is still on installing more power. However, the real limitation is often the available electrical capacity.

As demand grows, challenges appear: grid constraints, peak demand management and costly infrastructure upgrades.

The solution is how energy is managed, through dynamic load balancing, smart charging and system integration.

EV charging is not just a hardware challenge, it’s an energy challenge.

⚡ Designing EV charging infrastructure without considering scalability: a critical mistake

In many electrification projects, infrastructure is sized based on current demand. However, this approach often leads to limitations in the medium term.

As EV adoption increases, challenges emerge:

❌ Saturation of available electrical capacity
❌ Need to upgrade grid connections and installations
❌ Significant CAPEX increases in later phases
❌ Operational complexity in load management

Electrification should be approached as a progressive process, not a one-time deployment.

For this reason, the initial design must consider:

✔️ Future electrical capacity and demand forecasting
✔️ Modular and scalable architectures
✔️ Energy management systems (load balancing, smart charging)
✔️ Integration with other infrastructure systems

A properly designed infrastructure enables scaling without major structural interventions, optimizing both initial investment and long-term costs.

In environments where demand is uncertain but growing, scalability is not an enhancement, it is a technical requirement.

Vehicle fleets are essential for many companies in different areas, such as courier services, technical assistance and the delivery of goods. It must be efficient and simple to charge these electric vehicles so the different transports can complete their routes smoothly and at minimum cost.

This Sant Jordi, we wanted to join one of the most meaningful traditions of our culture: celebrating the book and the rose — symbols of knowledge, care and connection.

This year, we did it with solidarity roses from the Oncolliga Foundation, contributing to a cause with real social impact, and with a small gesture for the whole team to celebrate this day together.

Gestures that help us build a more human, committed and connected working environment.
