Fastned, the ultra-rapid charging network, has formed a joint venture with Places for London, the TfL property company, to deliver up to 25 ultra-rapid EV charging hubs across London by the end of the decade.
Both companies will jointly invest in developing ultra-rapid charging hubs at an initial five sites across the capital located along busy routes at Hanger Lane, Canning Town, Hatton Cross, Tottenham Hale and Hillingdon Circus.
Together, these sites will add more than 70 ultra-rapid charging bays – providing up to 400kW – to London’s EV charging network, with each hub serving hundreds of drivers per day.
This will offer customers up to 300 miles of range in 20 minutes, using 100% certified renewable energy.
The Fastned/Places for London joint venture intends to add a further 20 sites by 2030, with the potential to increase this to up to 65 hubs over the partnership’s lifetime as market demand and opportunities arise.
Tom Hurst, UK Country Director of Fastned said, “Londoners deserve a top-notch EV charging network for all those daily trips and longer journeys.
“That’s why we’re excited and proud to be bringing more ultra-rapid charging to key locations across the city – all helping to ramp up London’s transition to electric.”
Mark Farrow, Director of Strategy and Planning at Places for London said, “The expansion of EV infrastructure is essential to helping London bring pollution levels down and cleaning up the capital’s air.
“We are delighted to be partnering with industry-leading ultra-rapid charging company Fastned to offer more people and businesses the confidence to make the transition to cleaner vehicles.”
