Ionna launches Driver Advisory Council to gather user feedback on charging network
By Eve
Ionna has established a Driver Advisory Council, co-led by Kyle Conner of Out of Spec and Tom Moloughney of State of Charge, to collect feedback from users of its DC fast charging network. The council aims to improve the user experience at Ionna Rechargeries by understanding what drivers like and dislike about the charging stops. Ionna users are invited to share their opinions through the council's dedicated post.
Why it matters
This user feedback mechanism signals Ionna's focus on operational quality and customer experience as it expands its network, which could influence site design standards and amenity requirements in future procurement. CPOs and suppliers may need to align their offerings with user preferences identified through this council to remain competitive in Ionna's supply chain.

Servotech launches 360 kW Dynamix360 and dual gun Nexus120 fast chargers with advertising displays at REI Expo
Servotech Renewable Power System Limited unveiled two commercial fast chargers at the Renewable Energy India Expo 2026. The Dynamix360 is a 360 kW split type DC fast charger with a central power stack serving up to four dispensers, each with a 15 inch touchscreen and IP65 rating. The Nexus120 is a dual gun smart charger with a 43 inch LED display and IP55 rating. Both models feature integrated digital displays designed for advertising in commercial locations such as business parks and shopping malls.
Why it matters
The addition of advertising displays to high power chargers creates a new revenue stream for CPOs deploying in high footfall commercial sites, potentially improving project economics. The Dynamix360's power sharing architecture across four dispensers offers flexible capacity deployment for operators planning large commercial installations.
Cyprus to deploy 94 fast chargers across 13 sites by 2028 under €10m programme
Cyprus's Transport Ministry will install 94 fast charging points by 2028 at an estimated cost of €10 million, covering the entire road network. The rollout includes 76 points for light vehicles (150 kW each) and 18 for heavy vehicles (12 at 350 kW, six at 200 kW), spread across 13 sites including Nicosia, Larnaca, Limassol and ten other locations. Minister Evanthia Tsolaki confirmed 16 light vehicle points are scheduled for 2026, 48 light and 12 heavy points in 2027, with the remainder in 2028, adding to the existing 384 publicly accessible points at 221 stations nationwide.
Why it matters
The phased procurement offers equipment suppliers and installers a clear pipeline through 2028, with budget already secured for 2026 and 2027 phases via the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department. The mix of 150 kW, 200 kW and 350 kW chargers signals demand for both light and heavy duty hardware, while the island wide site selection may favour bidders with logistics reach beyond the three main urban centres.
Bidfood installs UK's first overhead charging gantry at Slough depot with four bays and 600kW Kempower charger
Bidfood has opened a four bay overhead charging gantry at its Slough depot, believed to be the first of its kind at a UK commercial transport depot. Unveiled on 20 October, the infrastructure uses a 600kW Kempower charger to power four charging points and was delivered by Erinion, part of the Scania group, with support from the Government's Depot Charging Scheme. The cantilevered overhead design allowed installation without losing parking spaces or disrupting operations, and the system is scalable for future fleet expansion.
Why it matters
The overhead gantry design offers a space efficient depot charging solution that avoids operational disruption, a key consideration for commercial fleet operators planning electrification. The project demonstrates how government grant schemes and specialist infrastructure partners can enable innovative charging deployments at scale for heavy goods vehicle fleets.
