ubitricity, the UK’s largest public EV charge point operator, has successfully installed more than 10,000 EV charge points across the UK, with 1 in every 10 public EV charge points now being installed and maintained by the Shell subsidiary.
This exciting milestone comes during a period of high growth for ubitricity, who over the last year have deployed multiple projects. Including the installation of 2,000 charge points in the London Boroughs of Tower Hamlets, over 500 in Waltham Forest and over 100 in Westminster, and have recently completed the installation of 560 charge points in Birmingham.
These developments are all part of ubitricity’s mission to make public EV charging more available to the millions of UK drivers, who can’t charge at home, alongside helping local authorities to rollout robust public EV charging networks at speed and scale.
With the charge point operator now being accountable for 12% of all public charge points in the UK, ubitricity is looking forward to rolling out even more charging infrastructure under the Government’s £381m Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund, which aims to deliver an additional 100,000 public charge points over the next few years.
Alexander Reinhardt, ubitricity CEO, said:
“Successfully installing 10,000 charge points in the UK is a huge milestone for ubitricity. The UK EV market has seen rapid growth, and providing convenient and accessible public charging is essential in encouraging even more drivers to make the shift to EV.
“With more than 10,000 ubitricity public charge points already across the UK, multiple live network expansions and our widespread growth plans, we are proud to support even more EV drivers and local authorities across the UK. It is a very exciting time to be part of ubitricity”.
Melanie Shufflebotham, Founder and COO, Zapmap, commented:
“We are delighted to see ubitricity reach this significant milestone — a real achievement. With close to 40% of households across the UK not having access to private parking, the provision of plentiful, convenient on-street charging is a critical part of the charging mix.
“We are looking forward to seeing further growth of local, close to home charging with the significant number of LEVI funded projects now approved for delivery."
