New research from fleet telematics company Geotab has shown that 20% of UK local authorities haven’t even started their transition to an electric fleet. This is despite government incentives and grant funding to support the changeover. When a council makes a move towards something like this, from better pay for their staff to the EV revolution, local companies follow, this is a case of councils not leading their areas by example. Research fi...

A renowned player in the water and wastewater market has selected WEG for an important wastewater project that will bring major environmental benefits for more than 7 million people, due to the fact that the station will mean less wastewater running into the rivers, thus improving the quality of water and air, as well as the conditions for fauna, in the entire area surrounding the Bogotá River. It will also ensure the necessary flow rate is achieved to generate energy. Using WEG motors...

Is there a growing need to expand the role of public Charge Point Operators (CPO), beyond the obvious? Many analysts believe that as much as 80% of EV charging will be done at home, meaning that only 20% of EV charging will be accessible to corporate/enterprise chargers and/or public chargers. This begs the question, what proportion of that 20% can a single CPO (Charge Point Operator) target, and is that going to be enough to sustain the huge investments that the CPO business model demands? Or...

Household electricity prices are rising ever higher, and more and more end customers are investing in PV systems for self-generation. This means that gigawatts of photovoltaic and battery capacity will be installed in the coming months and years. However, these assets will most likely never make a contribution to the German power system, as their participation in wholesale and system service markets is blocked by regulation. Increased generation and opportunity Costs for balancing power and r...

EU member states have agreed that from 2035 onward, only new cars and vans with zero CO2 emissions will be permitted. Even without this new goal, 65 million electric vehicles (EVs) were expected to be on European roads by 2030, a figure that will double by 2035. If they stick to the EU Commission’s recommendation of having one charging point for every 10 electric cars, a phenomenal ramp-up in EV charging stations is needed to be able to charge these vehicles. With exponentially more...
