Bus and coach operator Stagecoach has launched a new B2B electric vehicle charging proposition to support UK businesses in their transition to electric fleets.
The company has turned its depots in Inverness, Oxford, Cambridge, Kilmarnock, London (Ash Grove), Stockton and Dover into commercial EV charging hubs as part of its new Chargd initiative, enabling third‑party fleets to charge vehicles throughout the day.
Further locations are due to be added across the firm’s estate of more than 100 depots throughout 2026 and beyond.
Selected sites also support eHGV charging, reflecting growing demand from logistics, construction and utilities operators.
Since 2021, Stagecoach has invested more than £500m in EVs and charging infrastructure as it works towards becoming a zero-tailpipe emission bus fleet by 2035.
Debra Goodwin, chief people and customer officer, at Stagecoach, said, “We’ve spent years electrifying our own fleet at scale, and we know that charging infrastructure is one of the biggest barriers facing businesses on that same decarbonisation journey.
“Chargd is about using that experience to go further, opening up our depots and providing practical, reliable charging that works for real‑world fleet operations.
“This isn’t a future concept. It’s live, it’s scalable and it’s designed to help businesses make the switch to electric vehicles with confidence.
“At a time when organisations are under increasing pressure to reduce emissions while maintaining operational efficiency, Chargd provides certainty and reassurance.
“Whether it’s for last-mile deliveries, utilities or telecoms servicing, or other businesses operating large fleets, Chargd offers a robust access to reliable, large‑scale charging infrastructure.”
