The old units were limited to 500V vehicle architecture, while the new platform supports 150V to 1,000V, enabling compatibility with modern passenger cars, delivery vehicles, and commercial platforms. Each unit features two CCS2 connectors, modular power design, remote monitoring, over-the-air updates, offline authorisation, and AutoCharge. Some sites are also being physically reconfigured with longer bays and wider turning areas to accommodate fleets and buses. The phased rollout will also add new sites to improve coverage along transport corridors. GridCars, founded in 2009, currently operates 445 sites with over 1,200 connectors. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
