Leap24 has accelerated its charging rollout in and around London with four new ultra-rapid sites in Barking, Chingford, Pinner and Watford.

Each site features multiple 150 to 300kW charging points, is fully open to the public and provides wide bays for accessibility.

Drivers tap and charge with contactless or charge cards, and no app, membership or subscription is needed.

Leap24 said it offers the lowest average standard ultra-rapid rate in London at 69p/kWh.

With these additions, the firm now operates nine ultra-rapid charging sites inside the M25, making it the sixth largest ultra-rapid charge point operator in the capital.

Leap24, which was founded in the Netherlands in 2021, is building a north-west European network of ultra-rapid charging locations, with a focus on cities and transit corridors.

In the UK, it is targeting high-demand areas such as Greater London, especially among delivery, ride-hailing and business fleets impacted by tightening clean air policies including the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).

Pelle Schlichting, founder and CEO of Leap24 said: “We founded Leap24 to remove the friction from clean mobility – and our London expansion shows how fast, simple and fair EV charging can be.

“We’re not here to take small steps – we take daily leaps toward a future where clean transport is truly accessible to all.”

Ferry Bosgra, COO at Leap24, said: “Building public charging infrastructure in London isn’t easy – from planning to power upgrades, it’s a complex and often slow-moving process.

“But the Leap24 team is resilient and forward-looking. We’ve learned how to navigate those hurdles and deliver reliable, high-performance sites in record time.”
