Humax launches MX Pro 22kW charger with modular backplate system for UK fleet sites
By Eve
Humax EV Charging has introduced its MX Pro 22kW commercial charger to the UK market, targeting fleet, depot and workplace installations. The unit features a modular backplate architecture that allows sites to be pre-wired with protective dummy covers before chargers are needed, enabling phased deployment as fleet demand grows. The system includes daisy-chain connectivity to reduce cabling and dynamic load balancing across multiple units.
Why it matters
The MX Ready backplate approach addresses a common procurement pain point by decoupling electrical infrastructure work from charger installation timelines, potentially lowering upfront capital risk for fleet operators planning staged rollouts. Open CPMS integration and intelligent vehicle authentication also simplify multi-vendor depot environments.

Humax launches 22 kW commercial EV charger for UK fleet and workplace sites
Humax EV Charging has introduced the MX Pro 22 kW charger to the UK market, targeting commercial fleet, depot and workplace charging applications. The unit features intelligent vehicle authentication, open Charge Point Management System integration and a pre-wiring system called MX Ready, which uses a backplate and protective dummy cover to allow electrical preparation before chargers are installed.
Why it matters
The MX Ready pre-wiring approach could reduce deployment timescales and costs for large-scale fleet and workplace projects, giving procurement teams and CPOs a faster route to scaling up charging infrastructure at multi-unit sites.
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.
