THERE’S a new trade body for the electric vehicle (EV) charging industry: ChargeUK.
The association represents 18 of the largest EV charge point installers and at its launch (28 April) revealed investment plans up to 2030 worth £6bn.
The members said they would install tens of thousands of new chargers this year, with the aim of doubling the size of the network through 2023.
ChargeUK said it would work collaboratively with government and other stakeholders to break down barriers and shape the policies and regulation needed to enable transition to an electric future.
The formation of ChargeUK is an exciting day and is a demonstration of the electric vehicle charging industry’s growing size and importance to the UK economy. Together we are investing billions of pounds to get more charge points in the ground right across the country. These numbers reinforce our commitment to the UK’s Net Zero future.
The 18 founding members of ChargeUK are:
- Be.EV,
- Believe,
- BP Pulse,
- Char.gy,
- ChargePoint,
- Connected Kerb,
- ESB,
- Equans,
- Evyve,
