This release expands how operators manage fleets, pricing, and charging behaviour, introducing new capabilities for fleet control, more flexible pricing models, and enhanced load balancing, along with continued improvements across Spark, COSMOS, backend, and mobile services.
🧩 New Development
1. Time-based load balancer zone profiles Load balancer zones can now be configured with active time ranges, including timezone support for correct handling of daylight saving time.
This allows operators to control when charging is available or limited based on time of day. It is particularly useful for depot and fleet charging scenarios where operators want to avoid charging during peak pricing periods.
Platform: COSMOS
2. Partner ID support for white-label external references A partner ID system has been introduced for white-label setups, enabling external reference IDs to be associated with specific partners.
Platform: Backend
3. Spending limits for fleet charge keys Fleet charge keys can now be configured with optional spending limits, including daily, weekly, or monthly reset schedules.
This is particularly useful for fleet operators who need to manage driver budgets and control charging costs. It also helps reduce misuse and provides better control over fleet-related expenses.
Platform: Spark
4. Improved fleet driver management Fleet driver management has been improved to provide a clearer and more structured way of managing drivers across fleet teams.
This results in a more intuitive experience for operators when working with drivers, improving reliability and making day-to-day fleet administration easier.
Platform: Backend
5. Plug speed and connector type in charger list Charger list views now display plug speed and connector type directly alongside plug ID and status, improving operational visibility.
Platform: Spark
6. Percentage-based fleet discounts Fleet and member pricing now supports percentage-based discounts, allowing operators to apply a consistent discount across locations.
This is especially useful in environments with varying pricing throughout the day or across different locations, ensuring fleet users always receive a predictable discount relative to the base price.
Platform: Spark
6. Backend translation support for member discounts Member discount labels are now translated on the backend, ensuring correct localization in the mobile app and improving consistency across languages.
Platform: Mobile
7. French language support in Spark French has been added as a supported language in the Spark backend, expanding localization options for operators and supporting customers requiring French-language access to the platform.
Platform: Spark
8. party_id added to export files
Export files now include a new party_id column for roaming sessions, making it easier to identify the OCPI party associated with each session.
Platform: Spark
9. Intelligence module enabled for Tenant_CPO Tenant-level CPOs now have access to the Intelligence module, including aggregated data across their sub-CPOs.
Platform: Spark
10. Load balancing improvements with Ampere support and enhanced configuration Load balancing now supports configuration in amperes (A) for AC chargers, enabling more precise control at connector and zone level.
The load balancer setup has also been enhanced with support for both kW and Ampere limit types, improved charger filtering, and schedule configuration, providing greater flexibility when configuring charging infrastructure.
Platform: COSMOS, Spark
12. Last modified timestamp for car plates Car plate records now include a last modified date and time in the Customers section.
Platform: Spark
13. Notification when pre-authorised amount is released Users now receive a notification when unused pre-authorised amounts are released after a charging session.
Platform: Mobile
14. Custom plug names for chargers Operators can now assign custom names to charger plugs, improving identification in both Spark and the mobile app.
Platform: Mobile
