Hundreds of thousands of new electric vehicles (EVs) are hitting the UK’s roads every year. We’d call their rise unstoppable, if it weren’t for the problems surrounding the national charging infrastructure. 

 

A reliable, convenient nationwide network of high-volume, fast-charging stations is an essential component of the ongoing EV revolution. Equally, companies need to be able to contribute to the charging network in order to attract and retain custom. However, with grid connection hurdles, long lead times and arcane land use requirements, progress is slower than it needs to be.

​

Destination businesses such as garden centres, historic sites and large attractions require sustainable charging solutions, while petrol stations are adapting to the EV revolution with high-volume, fast-charging stations. For petrol stations and EV forecourts, offering fast and reliable charging is key to retaining customers. However, grid connection hurdles like high costs, long lead times, and land use requirements often slow progress. UK Networks Services specialises in overcoming these challenges.
