Motorway services operator Moto Hospitality is one of the UK's biggest deployers of EV charging infrastructure. Chief executive Ken McMeikan says that rapidly escalating EV numbers means a lot more energy will be needed, but more joined up thinking from government and utilities will be required to achieve this.
The EV charging sector in the US is being ‘hamstrung’ by policies which sometimes do not help smaller firms looking to make a viable business in this new market.
Planning for the installation or upgrade of EV charging infrastructure is both complex and comprehensive regardless of location, and if the rollout is in a structured parking facility it adds yet another layer of detail and expertise required.
BP Ventures has invested €7.5m in the Service4Charger, a Berlin-based provider for the planning, installation, operation, and maintenance of EV charging infrastructure.
