Transport for London (TfL) has awarded TotalEnergies a contract to install up to 43 rapid or ultra-rapid EV chargers across London.
The charging infrastructure will be a mixture of 100kW and 200kW devices, capable of delivering a 10 to 80% charge in 30 minutes for compatible vehicles.
Chargers will be located near key routes typically made by high mileage, commercial users – including taxis and freight – as well as near high streets and local amenities.
Many of these will be situated in south London, including Bromley, Lewisham and Sutton.
It is anticipated that the delivery of the new charging points from the new 20-year contract will begin at the end of 2027.
TotalEnergies will provide and operate the chargers, with no financial costs or operational overheads for TfL.
Also, under the terms of the contract, TfL will receive a share of charging revenues and a ground rent for the use of its land, in line with contractual arrangements.
There are now 258,000 electric cars and vans registered in London and the capital has about one third of the entire UK’s charger provision.
Nicolas Garnier, managing director of TotalEnergies Charging Solutions UK, said, “We are pleased to extend our partnership with TfL for this ambitious project and to support the continued development of the capital’s electric vehicle charging infrastructure with the installation of additional 100kW and 200kW chargers.
“Through this collaboration, we will leverage our operational expertise as a charge point operator to support the expansion of a reliable, accessible and high-quality charging network for drivers across London.”
