The Government of New Brunswick announced nearly $64 million for 72 Climate Change Fund projects, with over $6 million dedicated to EV charging infrastructure. The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure will spend $955,000 creating regional charging hubs in Miramichi, Moncton, and Saint John to support the province's expanding EV fleet, alongside single port charging stations at strategic fleet housing locations for buses and light vehicles.

Why it matters: The provincial procurement signals a structured fleet electrification programme with dedicated hub infrastructure in three urban centres, creating potential supply and installation contracts. The focus on fleet housing locations for buses and light vehicles indicates a shift towards depot charging models that may favour turnkey solutions from CPOs experienced in public sector deployments.

The New South Wales Government is rolling out new funding models, charging infrastructure investment, and advisory support to accelerate fleet electrification across businesses, councils, and households. Dan Wigmore stated the government aims to make NSW the easiest place in Australia to own and operate an EV, with investment in ultra-fast charging networks across metropolitan and regional areas. The programme also addresses safety misinformation that delays internal approvals within organisations.

Why it matters: Fleet operators and councils planning EV transitions gain access to infrastructure funding and advisory services that reduce range, utilisation, and downtime risks. The focus on regional charging networks and safety guidance helps procurement teams build business cases and secure internal approvals for electrification projects.

India's Supreme Court has issued notice on a public interest litigation filed by a Greater Noida resident challenging the arbitrary denial of no objection certificates for private EV charger installations by housing societies. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, has sought responses from the Union of India, Uttar Pradesh state, the Nirala Estate housing society, and property manager Cushman & Wakefield. The petitioner, Rachit Katyal, argues that societies obstruct installations despite central government guidelines promoting EV adoption, after his own NOC request filed on 26 May 2025 went unanswered.

Why it matters: A Supreme Court ruling could compel housing societies to comply with national EV infrastructure guidelines, removing a major barrier to residential charger deployment and expanding the addressable market for CPOs and installers across India's apartment complexes. Clarity on NOC procedures would de-risk procurement decisions for property developers and charging providers targeting multi-dwelling units.

Labour MP Keir Mather confirmed in a written parliamentary answer that the government will consult on removing obstacles for renters and leaseholders installing EV charge points, following reforms announced in October 2025. The measures include mandating charge points in new covered car parks and reviewing planning permission requirements for properties without driveways. Landlords can already access two domestic charge point grants, and new build residential properties have been required to install a charge point since June 2022.

Why it matters: The consultation signals potential regulatory changes that could unlock a large segment of the UK residential charging market, particularly in multi occupancy and rental properties where installation has been legally or practically difficult. CPOs and installers should monitor the outcome for new procurement opportunities in the private rented sector.
