The deployment adds ten high power chargers in a workplace and visitor destination, illustrating the shift toward amenity led charging hubs that combine speed with dwell time facilities. CPOs and site hosts will note the co location strategy with retail as a model for mixed use developments.

Shell Card adds Source ultra-rapid hubs to UK roaming network
Shell Fleet Solutions has integrated Source's UK ultra-rapid charging hubs into the Shell Card roaming network, giving fleet customers access to sites featuring at least 150kW chargers. Source operates more than half a dozen roaming partnerships and plans to open 300 ultra-rapid hubs across the UK and Ireland by 2030, all targeting 99% uptime and powered by renewable energy. Shell Card already provides access to over 72,000 public charge points across the UK.
Why it matters
The deal expands procurement options for fleet operators using Shell Card while reinforcing the commercial case for Source's hub rollout through guaranteed fleet demand. For CPOs, the partnership highlights how roaming agreements with major fuel card networks can accelerate utilisation at new ultra-rapid sites.

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.
