SP Mobility integrates over 1,000 ChargEco charging points into single network in Singapore
By Eve
SP Mobility is integrating more than 1,000 public charging points from ChargEco into its network following an acquisition earlier in 2026, with the transition running from 5 October to the end of December. The staged rollout covers locations across Geylang, Kallang, Marine Parade, Downtown Core, Tampines, Woodlands, Punggol and Jurong West, allowing drivers to access chargers through a single app and SP Mobility's ChargeUP Rewards programme. Existing ChargEco chargers remain accessible via the ChargEco app until each location completes its transition.
Why it matters
The consolidation creates Singapore's largest EV charging network under one operator, simplifying access for drivers and potentially setting a template for market consolidation in other dense urban markets. For charge point operators and platform providers, it signals how acquisition led integration can reduce app fragmentation and improve utilisation across merged networks.

Electrify America operates 6,029 DC fast-charging ports across 1,191 US sites
Electrify America now runs 6,029 DC fast-charging ports at 1,191 locations in the United States, making it the second largest DC charging network after Tesla Supercharger, according to InsideEVs citing the US Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center. Over the past year, the network's port count grew by 16% and station count by around 10%, with 202 ports added in the second quarter alone, representing 6.7% of all US DC fast-charging ports. ChargePoint, the third largest operator, installed 333 ports in the same quarter and holds 6.1% market share, while Walmart's network added more ports than any other non-Tesla company in the quarter, reaching 916 ports across 110 stations.
Why it matters
The figures confirm Electrify America's dominant position among non-Tesla networks and provide procurement teams with current scale benchmarks for the US fast-charging market. Walmart's aggressive second quarter rollout signals a major retail-led expansion that could reshape site partnership opportunities for CPOs and equipment suppliers.
Queue and reservation hardware shifts from niche to core layer as high utilisation sites hit capacity limits
The global market for public EV charging queue and reservation hardware is entering structural expansion as charge point operators face physical limits at high utilisation sites, according to an IndexBox report entering 2026. Demand is splitting between integrated systems for new high power hubs and retrofit solutions for existing stations. The hardware includes integrated displays, sensors, payment terminals, communication modules and access controllers, with supply chains characterised by validation requirements where approved vendor status with major CPOs and Tier 1 integrators often matters more than unit cost.
Why it matters
CPOs planning procurement must now evaluate queue management as core infrastructure rather than optional add on, with vendor selection increasingly driven by validation and integration partnerships rather than price alone. The bifurcation between new build and retrofit creates distinct channel and specification strategies for operators upgrading networks.
E.ON acquires former BP Pulse EV charging network in the Netherlands from Catom
E.ON has bought the EV charging business from Dutch fuel distributor Catom, which had acquired BP's petrol station and charging operations in the country last year. The portfolio includes 17 fast charging hubs with Alpitronic chargers delivering up to 300kW, 51 battery buffered sites for grid constrained locations, and 45 secured development sites for future rollout. E.ON Infrastructure will own and maintain the assets while sister utility Essent will handle customer facing operations and marketing, with sites rebranded to Essent and chargers carrying E.ON branding.
Why it matters
The deal consolidates a ready built Dutch charging estate under a major European utility, giving E.ON immediate scale in a market where battery buffered sites address grid capacity constraints. The 45 secured development sites offer a clear pipeline for staged expansion, while the dual brand model separates infrastructure ownership from customer operations.
