EV charging company Zapgo has signed an agreement to supply chargers to 33 clubs across the English football pyramid that are part of the Fair Game initiative, which campaigns to improve football governance.
The installation of EV charging hubs at stadiums and training grounds will provide communities with infrastructure in areas often underserved by existing EV charging infrastructure.
In addition, it will deliver valuable new revenue streams for the clubs involved – even during the offseason – further supporting the long-term sustainability of grassroots football around the country.
Dee Humphries, partnerships and marketing director of Zapgo, said, “This strategic partnership positions Zapgo well to capitalise on opportunities for further growth as we seek to introduce our rapid EV charging solutions to 33 football clubs across England.
“The expansion represents a key step in strengthening our growing role in the EV charging sector and we are proud to support grassroots football in communities underserved by existing charging infrastructure.”
Niall Couper, chief executive officer of Fair Game, said, “We are delighted to work with Zapgo on providing football clubs with a supplementary revenue stream in addition to providing local communities with vital infrastructure as the economy transitions to green energy.
“Zapgo’s principles of focusing on the local community with a sustainable approach to business made them a natural partnering opportunity which will benefit Fair Game member clubs.”
The clubs to benefit are: Accrington Stanley, AFC Wimbledon, Altrincham, Ashford United, Basingstoke Town, Bath City, Bristol Rovers, Bury AFC, Cambridge United, Carlisle United, Chester FC, City of Liverpool, Curzon Ashton, Darlington FC, Doncaster Rovers, Dorking Wanderers, Eastbourne Borough, Ebbsfleet United, FC United Women, Gateshead FC, Grimsby Town, Hungerford Town, Leyton Orient, Lincoln City, Luton Town, Maidstone United, Newport County AFC, Salisbury, Shrewsbury Town, Swindon Town, Tonbridge Angels, Tranmere Rovers, and Worcester City.
