Exicom launches India's first liquid-cooled EV charger power modules in Hyderabad
By Eve
Exicom Tele-Systems has begun manufacturing liquid-cooled AC and DC power modules at its Hyderabad facility, initially supplying Tritium's DC-FLEX and TRI-FLEX ultra-fast chargers for North American and European markets. The liquid-cooled design keeps components around 10°C cooler than air-cooled systems and offers sealed protection against moisture, dust and salt air. Exicom plans to incorporate the technology into its domestic charging solutions after the initial export run.
Why it matters
This marks the first Indian production of liquid-cooled power electronics for EV chargers, addressing thermal stress that causes almost 60% of power electronics failures and can double component failure rates with a 10°C to 15°C temperature rise. The capability positions Exicom as a potential supplier for high-power charging projects in hot climates and signals India's entry into advanced thermal management for charging infrastructure.

Believ to install more than 600 chargers across Ayrshire in 15 year council partnership
EV charge point operator Believ has secured a 15 year agreement with three Ayrshire councils to install more than 600 chargers at around 300 locations, with installation beginning in early 2027. The project combines over £2.8m from the Scottish Government's EV Infrastructure Fund with more than £15m in committed capital investment from Believ, delivered alongside Transport Scotland and the Scottish Futures Trust. The rollout includes roughly 180 chargers for East Ayrshire, 210 for North Ayrshire and 220 for South Ayrshire, with passive infrastructure for over 450 additional chargers to enable future upgrades without disruptive roadworks.
Why it matters
This major regional deployment demonstrates how CPOs can secure long term public sector contracts by combining government funding with substantial private capital, creating a scalable model for rural and island charging access. The inclusion of passive infrastructure for 450 additional chargers shows forward planning that reduces future deployment costs and speeds network expansion as EV adoption grows.
Vietnam mandates cross-brand compatibility at public EV chargers from July 2027
Circular 61/2026/TT-BCT, issued by Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade, requires public EV charging stations to serve vehicles from multiple manufacturers starting 1 July 2027. Operators must install compatible connectors, charging modes and technical specifications, and station control systems must not restrict charging for publicly declared compatible vehicle configurations. The regulation emphasises technical compatibility without mandating support for all vehicle brands, The Investor reported on 8 October.
Why it matters
The rule forces charging point operators in Vietnam to design infrastructure for interoperability, potentially raising upfront costs but widening the addressable customer base. Procurement teams and OEMs will need to verify that hardware and software meet the new compatibility standards ahead of the July 2027 deadline.
Tesla and Pilot deploy over a dozen Megacharger stations for Semi trucks across US freight corridors
Pilot Travel Centers and Tesla are building more than a dozen megawatt charging stations for Tesla Semi trucks along major US freight routes, with the first site already operational in Ellabell, Georgia. Each station will feature four to eight Megachargers capable of delivering up to 1.2 megawatts per stall, located at Pilot sites along I-5, I-10 and other corridors in California, Indiana, Nevada and Texas. The Ellabell station has six stalls, while a separate Tesla Semi station in Conley, Georgia, has also been energised this week.
Why it matters
This rollout demonstrates how CPOs can secure anchor tenancy by co-locating high power charging infrastructure at established commercial vehicle rest stops, reducing range anxiety for fleet operators. The partnership between North America's largest travel centre network and Tesla establishes a template for scaling heavy duty charging along predictable freight routes.
