EV charge point management platform Fuuse has expanded its operations into Ireland, supported by existing customers and partners.

Alex Baker, Fuuse country manager for Ireland

The company offers a comprehensive platform to configure and manage the EV charging operations of entire fleets and manage multi-hardware networks of chargers from one easy-to-use system.

It’s now appointed Alex Baker, a veteran fleet innovator, as country manager to deliver ambitious expansion plans across Ireland.

Baker brings 20 plus years of experience in fleet and technology and is well versed in helping organisations with EV strategy, e-mobility and V2G projects.

Commenting on the importance of the expansion, and the urgency on Irish fleets to begin scaling their EV operations, Baker said: “With a target of nearly a million EVs on the roads in Ireland by 2030 and following several new initiatives to encourage EV adoption across the country, the need for robust and scalable charging infrastructure is now paramount to Ireland’s climate action success.

“For businesses, destinations, local authorities and fleets, this means considering how EV uptake and sustainability goals will affect their operations, and what charging facility they will need to cover all of their business and driver needs.”

Fuuse was recently announced as Siemens’ preferred supplier in the UK and Ireland for workplace and destination car park EV infrastructure. Installation of Siemens chargers, powered by Fuuse, is currently taking place at DCU Alpha: Dublin City University’s Innovation Campus.

Owen Murray, Siemens eMobility lead in Ireland, said: “In order to meet targets for electric vehicle adoption, we must ensure electric vehicle infrastructure across Ireland is accessible to everyone. Working with our preferred software supplier, Fuuse, we’re installing charging stations, which can optimise energy consumption, and provide opportunities for additional revenue, perfect for use across commercial premises – offices, hospitals, university campuses and more.”

Fuuse is also working with installers eCharge to provide charging at the Castlemartyr Resort Hotel in County Cork.

“We selected Fuuse as our foundation for eCharge because it provides a versatile charge point management platform designed to open standards and is compatible with all OCPP-compliant devices. The platform enables our customer to generate recurring income through platform sales,” said Neil Campbell, MD of eCharge at eEnergy Plc.
