EV charging provider Ezo has been awarded a 15-year contract worth £176m to deliver and manage EV charging infrastructure for four councils in the Midlands.
The rollout will see 250 new chargers installed for two million residents in Worcestershire, Leicestershire, Rutland and Warwickshire.
This contract was awarded by the Fourth Midlands EV Infrastructure Consortium (FMeviC) which is a joint partnership between Worcestershire County Council, Warwickshire County Council, Leicestershire County Council and Rutland County Council.
The consortium also worked with Sub-National Transport Body Midlands Connect on the new regional initiative, which aims to accelerate the rollout of EV chargers across the Midlands.
It will be funded by the Government and delivered by Ezo, with no direct capital investment required from the councils.
The project will focus on deploying rapid and ultra-rapid chargers across the counties, with a particular emphasis on areas reliant on on-street parking.
This marks Ezo’s second major UK contract in the last 12 months, following the £300m, 20-year contract signed in October 2025 to install charging infrastructure across the north of Scotland, with Ezo now operating more than 400 chargers in the region and developing a further 1,000 chargers.
Ollie Chatten, CEO of Ezo, said, “This rollout will transform EV charging in the Midlands, making it easier than ever for residents and businesses to switch to clean transport.
“Our strategy is about more than deploying chargers – it’s about building the infrastructure backbone for the next generation of mobility across communities.
“We have over 140,000 drivers now accessing our platform across the UK and Ireland, and we see a path to growing steadily.”
