THE EV CHARGING PLATFORM AND FLEET TRANSITION PARTNER HAVE APPOINTED ALEX BAKER, A VETERAN FLEET INNOVATOR, TO DELIVER AMBITIOUS EXPANSION PLANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY… Fuuse expands into Ireland with the appointment of a new Country Manager
E V charge point management platform, Fuuse, continues its accelerated growth with expansion into Ireland. The EV charging platform and fleet transition partner have appointed Alex Baker, a veteran fleet innovator, to deliver ambitious expansion plans across the country. Alex Baker joins the team to support Fuuse’s international growth. He brings over 20 years of experience in fleet and technology and is well-versed in helping organisations with EV strategy, e-mobility and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) projects. Alex explained the importance of the expansion and the urgency for Irish fleets to begin scaling their EV operations: “With a target of nearly a million EVs on the roads in Ireland by 2030 and 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.”
First projects in Ireland Fuuse have extended their relationships with manufacturers and partners established in the region to facilitate a smooth introduction into Ireland. Initial projects in the area include powering Siemens’ chargers, installed at Dublin City University’s Innovation Campus, and working with installers eCharge to provide EV charging at the five-star luxury Castlemartyr Resort Hotel in County Cork. 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, highlighted the acceleration needed in Ireland to drive the transition to an electric fleet: “To meet targets for electric vehicle adoption, we must ensure EV infrastructure across Ireland is accessible to everyone. Working with our preferred software supplier, Fuuse, we are installing charging stations to optimise energy consumption and provide opportunities for additional revenue.” As a flexible platform, Fuuse caters for
