Electric Insights with Brenda Shanahan
Brenda Shanahan, Sales Director, ZeroMission

When it comes to scaling zero-emission logistics in Europe, charging has long been the missing piece of the puzzle, especially for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). In this episode, Brenda dives into Shell’s landmark announcement: a new integrated European EV charging network for heavy-duty vehicles.

This isn’t just about more charging stations, it’s about smarter, connected infrastructure that gives fleets real confidence to electrify.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why Shell’s four-pillar charging approach (public, semi-public, private, and roaming) changes the game for fleets of all sizes
• How integrated charging can cut total cost of ownership (TCO) for eHGVs by up to 25%
• The opportunities for logistics operators to turn depots into revenue-generating assets
• Why this signals the end of fragmented solutions and the rise of a holistic charging ecosystem

Brenda also shares ZeroMission’s perspective: why confidence, not just cost, has been the biggest barrier to adoption and how moves like this can give operators the assurance they need to take the leap.

The message for fleets is clear: the ecosystem is building, the costs are falling, and the future is electric.

B-Hive Tech Review | By Stephen Breen, Lead Architect, ZeroMission

This week, Stephen dives into one of the most exciting breakthroughs at the intersection of AI and science: IBM and NASA’s Surya, an AI-powered digital twin of the Sun.

Trained on nine years of solar data, Surya can predict solar flares with 16% greater accuracy, deliver up to two hours’ advance warning, and continuously learn from multiple missions. But the real story isn’t just about astronomy, it’s about the future of AI + digital twins for complex systems.

In this episode, Stephen unpacks why Surya is more than a space-science achievement. It’s a blueprint for resilience that every industry, from energy to mobility to supply chains, can learn from. And crucially, what it means for EV fleets and logistics.

Tune in to hear how lessons from Surya translate into transport operations:

• Predictive maintenance that prevents failures before they cascade
• Smarter load balancing at depots to avoid bottlenecks
• Real-time scenario modelling for adaptive fleet operations

The Sun may be 150 million kilometres away, but its digital twin is sparking ideas much closer to home. If AI can help us forecast solar storms, it can just as powerfully help us future-proof the fleets and infrastructure that keep our world moving.

By Cian Kavanagh of ZeroMission. Last week, I shared that Southern California is rolling out over $650 million in incentives for zero-emission trucks, buses, and charging infrastructure, and the response was instant. Dozens of fleet operators reached out, asking how they could access funding in their region and how ZeroMission could guide them through the process.

That wave of interest highlighted something important: funding is one of the most powerful accelerators of the zero-emission transition. And it’s not just happening in the U.S.

In this episode, I take you on a fast-paced tour of the current incentives available across Ireland, the UK, and Europe, from SEAI’s commercial EV supports and toll discounts to the UK’s Plug-In Van Grant and Europe’s AFIR-compliant infrastructure funding.

But more importantly, I break down how ZeroMission is helping fleets turn those opportunities into action, supporting operators with funding strategies, grant applications, infrastructure rollouts, and long-term optimisation.

Whether you’re operating in Dublin, Leeds, Lyon or Los Angeles, if you’re planning to electrify, you don’t have to do it alone — and you don’t have to do it unfunded.
