Comemso ports ISO 15118 charging station test libraries to its comframe platform
By Eve
German test equipment maker comemso has migrated its ISO 15118-4 and ISO 15118-5 test libraries to comframe, its proprietary software platform, allowing developers to configure, run and evaluate standardised communication tests for AC and DC charging stations directly within the system. The libraries, which cover conformance tests for network, application protocol, physical and data link layers, were previously validated through the Charging Interface Initiative (CharIN). Comemso verified the port by running test cases on two charging stations using both comframe and the previous platform and comparing results.
Why it matters
Procurement teams and CPOs commissioning or inspecting charging infrastructure can now access validated ISO 15118 conformance testing through a single integrated platform, potentially streamlining quality assurance and interoperability verification during station deployment and field inspection.

Solar powered EV charging in Andhra Pradesh still at an early stage despite favourable conditions
A report on Nellore says Andhra Pradesh has abundant sunshine, a growing renewable energy ecosystem and rising interest in electric mobility, but solar powered charging remains nascent. Stations use rooftop or ground mounted solar panels with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to smooth fluctuations, drawing from the grid only when necessary. The article notes that public charging infrastructure in the state remains sporadic despite growing EV sales and strong government backing, and that Convergence Energy Services Ltd. (CESL), a subsidiary of Energy Efficiency Services Ltd. (EESL), was the first to deploy an integrated solar powered charging station in India.
Why it matters
Lower electricity costs at solar and BESS equipped sites could let charge point operators pass savings on to drivers, which makes Andhra Pradesh a potential market for integrated solar plus storage charging projects. The patchy public network, particularly for intercity travel, points to unmet demand for developers and funders.
Los Alamos County to open new DC fast charging stations at Mesa Public Library with ribbon cutting on 2 November
Los Alamos County has invited the community to a ribbon cutting ceremony on 2 November marking the opening of new Direct Current (DC) fast charging stations in the Mesa Public Library parking lot. The project was funded in part by the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT). County Sustainability Manager Angelica V. Gurule described the stations as a step toward expanding public EV charging infrastructure and supporting more sustainable transport in the community.
Why it matters
This is another example of state transport funding supporting municipal DC fast charging at public civic sites, a route that can open opportunities for CPOs and installers working with local authorities. The announcement gives no figures on charger count, power output or funding value, so those details would need to be confirmed directly.
InstaVolt agrees national framework with Whitbread to bring ultra-rapid charging to Premier Inn sites
InstaVolt has agreed a national framework with Whitbread PLC, owner of Premier Inn, to build a pipeline of new ultra-rapid charging at well-located Premier Inn sites across the UK. Premier Inn has more than 845 hotels across the UK and Ireland. Earlier this year InstaVolt agreed to acquire 228 GeniePoint locations from Equans, comprising more than 260 chargers, including more than 100 locations associated with the Whitbread estate, and it plans to upgrade existing charging at Premier Inn sites with ultra-rapid hardware, enhanced grid connections where required and improved signage.
Why it matters
A national framework with the UK's largest hotel brand shows how a CPO can secure a repeatable host-site pipeline rather than negotiating site by site, building on an acquired footprint. Competing operators and landlords should note the pairing of hospitality dwell time with ultra-rapid upgrades of inherited charging assets.
