Not your average EV! As charging capability advances, the benefits extend far beyond passenger vehicles. High-capacity charging can support heavy-duty electric machinery, which allows us to help transition equipment like this at the Port of Melbourne away from fossil fuels.

Battery capacity, electric motor performance, and charging technology have passed the tipping point. From the world’s largest electric ship using more than 40 MWh of battery storage, to battery-electric haul trucks operating in the 45°C Pilbara, and 240 schedulable chargers supporting bus operations in Singapore, the evidence is clear: electrification has become a realistic option for heavy industry. Sectors that would have considered electrification unrealistic just five years ago are now confronting the commercial cost of continued fossil fuel dependence and its impact on margins.

We had a great experience at the 2026 EV Infrastructure summit in Sydney last week, where CEO Jonathan Parker discussed the future trends and innovations to support fleet charging with Dr. Brendan Koehler (Chief Power Officer BK Charging) and Riccardo Pagliarella, PhD (Ambassador, Asia and Oceana, Open Charge Alliance). You can read some of Jonny’s thoughts here https://lnkd.in/ewzUDkJq Jonny also joined a panel on electrifying depots for heavy fleets with Colin McGregor (Sales Director, EV Blocks), Mark Lampard (CEO, Go EV) and Peter Smith (Technology Manager, eMobility,ABB Australia). Heavy charging has unique challenges, but it offers major electrification potential. A recurring theme at the event was that price volatility is making businesses look at fleet electrification as an economical operational decision. However, it’s not as simple as purchasing some new vehicles and installing some chargers. Charge time requirements, site load management and grid reliability are key considerations that need to be raised at the beginning of the process. Working with Thundergrid ensures your charging system design is fit to purpose and future proofed.

Most organisations start with: “We need a charger.” But by the time that sentence is said, the vehicles have usually been chosen, timelines are locked in, and infrastructure has become a downstream problem. The better questions, asked earlier is: What does our future EV strategy look like? Make it powerful and future proofed! Having the experts design a plan can help map the strategy. The plan often stalls when trying to bridge hardware selection, site analysis, and installation. Then come the operational questions nobody planned for: utilisation across multiple sites and home charging for employees, energy cost reporting, FBT, reimbursements and who fixes a charger when it’s down. And eventually scale, where a setup built for 20 vehicles doesn’t hold at 200. A powered fleet is what you get when vehicle, charging, energy, and service are designed together from the start. Not bolted on once the EV order is in. Our Fleet Electrification Guide walks through how to think about each layer wherever you are on your electrification journey.

At IPWEA, the most common fleet electrification concerns weren’t about vehicles, they were about how charging actually works in practice. Questions around charging across sites, homes, and day-to-day operations led a number of people to the Fleet Electrification Guide we compiled for the event. It was great to talk through those challenges and share how Thundergrid helps fleet teams make charging simpler to plan, easier to roll out, and more practical to manage at scale. Big thank you to everyone who took the time to connect with us! If you’re exploring fleet electrification, or looking to scale what you’ve already started, we’ve pulled together a practical guide to help.

TWO NETWORKS. ONE TAP. One fob. Fewer barriers. We just unveiled our powerful solution: a unified RFID fob from the Thundergrid & ChargeNet - EV Charging Solutions partnership. Two Networks. One Tap: Together, we’ve simplified EV charging across Aotearoa, giving fleet drivers and fleet managers seamless access to both the ChargeNet public and the Thundergrid private charging network - all with a single tap. Read more and find some FAQs here: https://lnkd.in/ewQgJrWx Driving Change, together: This collaboration is more than a technical integration, it’s a shared commitment to enhancing EV mobility and accelerating New Zealand’s sustainable transport future. A big THANK YOU to our customers, partners, and supporters. Your feedback and enthusiasm have been instrumental in making this a success. We’d love to hear how unified RFID is working for your fleet. #EVCharging #SustainableTransport #ChargeNet #Thundergrid #UnifiedRFID #TwoNetworksOnefob #EVFuture #NZEV #FleetSolutions

TWO NETWORKS. ONE TAP. Thundergrid & ChargeNet - EV Charging Solutions We've shared how Thundergrid and ChargeNet are now working together to simplify EV charging across Aotearoa. For fleet operators and drivers, that means one RFID - across both public and private charging. One fob. All access. Whether you're behind the wheel or managing a fleet, unified RFID reduces friction by connecting public and private charging into a single experience. - Use your existing ChargeNet RFID - Charge across ChargeNet’s public network - Access Thundergrid chargers at work or home - No additional cost for Thundergrid Charger Management customers Already a Thundergrid customer? Speak with your account manager to activate ChargeNet RFID access on your chargers. #EVCharging #FleetSolutions #SustainableTransport #ChargeNet #Thundergrid #UnifiedRFID #TwoNetworksOneTap #EVAdoption #NZEV

3 of the KEY Benefits of our unified RFID with ChargeNet - EV Charging Solutions. 1) Seamless charging, wherever the road takes you. With unified RFID access, EV drivers can charge across ChargeNet’s public network and Thundergrid’s private infrastructure using a single RFID fob. 2) One fob. Total access. Whether you're charging at work, at home, or on the road, in the city or remote regions, one RFID fob is all you need.  No more juggling multiple fobs. Just tap and charge. 3) Freedom to move. This unified network empowers EV drivers with the freedom to drive further, knowing they can charge easily across a wide public and private network. This is more than a partnership. It’s a promise of smarter, simpler, and more connected EV mobility. #TwoNetworksOneTap #EVCharging #FleetMobility #SustainableTransport #Thundergrid #ChargeNet #EVConvenience #NZEV
