TotalEnergies installs 170 charge points across 80 Camden sites, bringing London total to 3,000
By Eve
TotalEnergies has deployed 170 new EV charge points spanning 80 locations in the London Borough of Camden, with power outputs ranging from 22 kW to 100 kW and 18 units rated at 100 kW. The rollout, powered entirely by renewable energy and priced from 43p per kWh, lifts the operator's London footprint to 3,000 charge points, including 500 dedicated bays in Camden. Camden Borough Council cited the expansion as supporting its Climate Action Plan and Net Zero targets.
Why it matters
The 80 site deployment demonstrates how a major CPO scales urban on street and car park infrastructure to serve mixed fleets and residents, while the 43p per kWh tariff and 100 kW rapid units set competitive benchmarks for London procurement. TotalEnergies' 3,000 point London network now offers a reference case for boroughs tendering similar rollouts.

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.
