Laois town denied funding for planned EV charging points
By Eve
A town in County Laois, Ireland, has been refused funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure that had been awaited by the local community. The decision leaves the area without the planned public charging facilities. No details on the funding programme, application amount or alternative timelines were disclosed in the report.
Why it matters
The funding rejection highlights ongoing gaps in Ireland's regional charging network and signals potential delays for CPOs and local authorities seeking to expand rural EV infrastructure through public grant schemes.

Beckhoff adds OCPP support to TwinCAT IoT portfolio for charging station integration
Beckhoff has expanded its TwinCAT IoT product portfolio to include Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) support, enabling standardised communication between EV charging stations and central management systems. The TwinCAT 3 IoT OCPP (TF6771) driver supports OCPP versions 1.6 and 2.0.1, and works alongside the new EL6761 EtherCAT Terminal, which provides communication interfaces compliant with IEC 61851 and ISO 15118. The solution supports both pulse width modulation communication under IEC 61851 and power line communication under ISO 15118.
Why it matters
The addition of OCPP compatibility to Beckhoff's industrial automation platform gives CPOs and charging infrastructure developers a standardised tool for integrating charging hardware with backend management systems. Support for both OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1, plus IEC 61851 and ISO 15118 standards, addresses interoperability requirements across charging networks and vehicle communication protocols.
Calisen fits solar battery tech to 350 van fleet to halve electric vehicle downtime
Calisen, the UK's largest smart meter provider serving around 40% of British homes, has installed Genie Insights' solar battery maintenance technology across its approximately 350 van fleet, one third of which now runs fully on electric power. The company expects the technology to cut avoidable vehicle downtime by up to 50% by addressing 12V battery failures that can immobilise electric vans even when their high voltage propulsion batteries remain charged. The move tackles a reliability challenge where auxiliary systems such as telematics units draw continuous power from 12V batteries that manufacturers are simultaneously reducing in size.
Why it matters
Fleet operators running electric commercial vehicles face a growing maintenance risk as smaller 12V batteries struggle to support always on telematics and auxiliary loads, potentially leaving charged vans stranded. Solar battery maintenance technology offers a scalable solution to reduce downtime and improve fleet availability without infrastructure changes, a key consideration for procurement teams evaluating total cost of ownership for electric van deployments.
Ionage raises $1.3 million to expand EV charging interoperability platform across India
AI-enabled energy management platform Ionage has secured $1.3 million in pre-Series A funding led by strategic investors and a consortium of CXOs from global energy and infrastructure companies. The company plans to use the capital to expand its platform coverage to 100% of active charger networks in India, improve charger discovery and payment capabilities, and help small and medium-sized CPOs establish and manage charging stations more efficiently. Ionage currently operates across more than 70% of India's charging hardware, has onboarded more than 25,000 four-wheeler charging points, supports 63 fleets, and works with more than 75 charging partners.
Why it matters
The funding highlights growing investor interest in interoperability solutions that address India's fragmented EV charging ecosystem, with Ionage targeting a monthly energy throughput of more than 20 million units within 12 months. For CPOs and procurement teams, the platform's asset-light model and national roaming capabilities offer a potential route to expand network reach and improve utilisation without direct infrastructure investment.
