Our electric vehicle (EV) chargers represent a cornerstone in our commitment to environmental sustainability and the UK’s zero emission vehicle mandate. The Government set a target for at least six high powered chargers, ranging between 150 – 350 kilowatts (kW), at every motorway service area in England by the end of 2023.
We partnered with IONITY to install and operate the ultra-rapid charge point network and installed a total of 60 350 kW charging points across our motorway services network at the end of 2023. Exceeding the government target and supplementing the 14 60 kW charging points already in operation.
The increase in electric vehicle charging infrastructure has enabled a total 10,316 tonnes of avoided carbon emissions between 2021 and 2023. Plans are currently in motion to scale delivery of our EV charging network to meet future demand.
