Brisbane-headquartered Tritium has a deal with United Kingdom EV charging network Evyve to become its preferred fast charger technology provider.
Evyve wants to install 10,000 EV charging stations by 2030, with the goal of becoming the country’s largest charger network.
It has placed initial purchase orders for 350 Tritium fast chargers as part of its plans to invest 25 million pounds (A$44m) in Tritium fast and ultra-fast charging stations during the next two years.
Sixty Tritium EV chargers have been installed and are operational for the Evyve network, with thousands more planned by the end of 2025.
The network is planned to comprise Tritium’s modular chargers, including its 75kW and 150kW ones.
“With the number of registered battery-electric cars in the UK growing by more than 40% in 2022, it’s more important than ever that drivers have access to fast and reliable charging technology to ensure a convenient driver experience and a seamless transition to e-mobility,” says Tritium chief executive Jane Hunter.
“We’re proud to be the preferred fast charger provider for the Evyve charging network, and we look forward to helping them accomplish their goal to become the largest destination and enroute charging network in the UK.
“For Tritium, this announcement is a reflection of an increasing number of conversations with customers looking to address anticipated multi-year demand and secure product availability beyond just the next 12 months.”
Evyve continues to build a customer network of retail parks owned by regeneration business Peel L&P and leading hospitality providers like Greene King – a UK pub retailer and brewer operating more than 2700 pubs, restaurants, and hotels across England, Wales, and Scotland.
“Due to its compact design and modularity, Tritium’s innovative fast charger technology has enabled us to roll out our network across multiple locations quickly and efficiently, providing us with the foundation to support the UK’s transition to electric vehicles today and 20 years from now,” says Evyve chief executive James Moat.
