Ghana Energy Commission to launch national EV charging monitoring platform
By Eve
Ghana's Energy Commission is developing a Country-Level EV Charging System Management Platform with the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition to monitor licensed charging stations, energy consumption, faults, outages and geographical coverage nationwide. Executive Secretary Adwoa Serwaa Bondzie announced the initiative at the graduation of 884 electricians from the Commission's 25th Electrical Wiring Certification programme, which recorded an 85 per cent pass rate from 1,036 candidates in May to June 2026. The platform aims to provide data on how EV charging affects the electricity network and support planning by the Commission and utilities.
Why it matters
A centralised monitoring system will give Ghana visibility over charging infrastructure performance and grid impact, helping utilities and the Commission plan network upgrades and inform future licensing and procurement decisions. The certification of nearly 900 electricians also signals workforce readiness for the country's EV charging rollout.

Lime commits £886,857 to fund 586 e-bike parking bays across nine London boroughs
Lime has allocated £886,857 to nine London boroughs, including Greenwich, Lambeth and Hackney, to create or expand 586 shared e-bike parking bays in response to pavement crowding. The operator says it has now helped fund more than 3,400 parking bays across London as shared e-bikes account for one in 10 of the capital's 1 million daily cycling trips, according to Transport for London figures. Lime has also opened a fresh funding round for councils seeking to add more parking capacity.
Why it matters
The investment shows how operators are funding street infrastructure to support fleet growth, creating procurement opportunities for councils that need parking hardware and installation services. With shared e-bikes now representing 10% of London's daily cycling trips, the model may inform how other cities structure operator contributions to public realm works.
No commercial holsters exist for Type 2 male charging cable ends, installer confirms
An EV owner seeking a holster for the Type 2 male plug end that connects to a home charging point has been told no such product exists on the market, according to a 15 year EVSE installer responding to the query. The reader purchased a 15 metre Type 2 to Type 2 cable to bridge a 5 metre horizontal distance and 3 metre vertical step gap between their off street parking and charging point. All commercially available cable holsters are designed only for the female connector that plugs into vehicles.
Why it matters
The absence of holsters for supply side cable ends highlights a product gap in the residential charging accessories market, particularly for installations where cable management across uneven terrain or vertical distances is required. Installers and equipment suppliers may find demand for bespoke cable storage solutions in properties with non standard parking configurations.
SP Mobility integrates over 1,000 ChargEco charging points into single network in Singapore
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.
