Allego Charging continues to add new sites to its vast European public charging network.
The ultra-fast EV Charge Point Operator has recently opened sites at Stadium MK (Buckinghamshire), Pennell’s Garden Centre (Lincolnshire) and Park Inn by Radisson (Cambridgeshire).
All three sites provide the latest in technology with dual-socket chargers ranging from 150kW up to 300kW, with accessible parking for users.
Building a network of ultra-fast EV charging hubs
With the UK experiencing a surge in EV sales, the need for a robust ultra-fast EV charging network cannot be overemphasised.
Local authorities and businesses have installed on-street charging solutions, but they increasingly recognise the importance of ultra-fast EV charging infrastructure to support EV drivers on the move.
Allego is well placed to support these efforts, offering a fully-funded model to help businesses and local authorities realize this crucial part of their strategy.
Allego is not new to the UK. In fact, it has 128 on-street charge points already installed in the London Boroughs of Hackney and Newham.
The Allego network is now set to expand rapidly over the next five years and beyond. Working with both private landowners and local authorities, the company is keen to invest an estimated 100 million pounds in ultra-fast EV charging infrastructure across the UK and Ireland.
As part of the expansion in the UK, Allego is expected to open new ultra-fast EV charging hubs in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2024.
Easy, convenient, and accessible for all
Allego continually strives to make EV charging easier, more convenient, and more accessible for all.
Interoperability is one of the key features Allego is proud of, always considering the EV driver-centric to the type of solution on offer.
Allego’s proven experience in delivering EV charging infrastructure means EV drivers will have access to the latest in ultra-fast charging technology, with no subscription fees, just a simple tap of a credit/debit card for convenience, or use one of over 80 Mobile Service Provider (MSP) cards such as AllStar or Bonnet to pay for your charging.
Allego’s Ultra-Fast EV charging hub at Stadium MK is uniquely designed and configured to be fully accessible to all users, the hub at this location will also cater to wheelchair users with facilities such as lower payment screens, cable management arm and wider parking bays, making them easy to use for everyone.
The ultra-fast charge points that have been installed enable visitors to Stadium MK, and passing traffic as well as residents of the local area to charge their electric vehicle when they need it, and in around 15 minutes.
Paz Sharma, Managing Director Allego UK said: “Working with Stadium MK in delivering this initiative is fundamental in our plans to expand our ultra-fast EV-charging network in the UK, and giving the public greater confidence that they can charge their electric vehicle when and where they need.
“The partnership also resonated well with Stadium MK and their ambition to reduce carbon emissions and contribute to a more sustainable future for everyone.”
Forging partnerships for Ultra-Fast Charging Hubs
While EV sales growth is encouraging, there are concerns about the pace of delivery for charging infrastructure.
Paz said: “It no longer suffices to follow consumer demand with the charge points we place. Far from it!
“If we want to remain consumer-centric in our endeavours, we need to step up and create more room for strategic charging hubs in our urban and business planning. This is where Allego makes the difference.”
Local authorities as well as businesses and landowners are increasingly recognising a gap in ultra-fast charging supply, and are looking to plug this gap to support EV drivers on the move, but have little funding available to do so.
This is where Allego are well placed to support, offering a fully-funded model, to help both businesses and local authorities realise this crucial part of their strategy.
Allego calls upon landowners and local authorities across the country to join forces in accelerating the growth of EV charging infrastructure.
Fueled by 100% renewable energy, Allego remains true in its dedication to a cleaner, greener future. Let’s work together towards a brighter and more sustainable future.
