LCP Group, a UK-based commercial property company, has expanded its partnership with PoGo Charge to install ultra-rapid DC charging points at 52 retail locations across the UK. This agreement is an extension of a previous contract signed in November 2023.
Under the updated deal, PoGo Charge will add 254 ultra-rapid DC (UR DC) charging points to the 252 deployed in the first phase of the partnership. The initial installation at Washington Retail Park is already operational, featuring eight PoGo Touch Plus Ultra-Rapid DC chargers. PoGo Charge stated that these units offer “the fastest charging speeds of any charger currently in the UK,” with a power range of 50-600kW.
The original contract involved the installation of 658 DC charging points. With this new phase, the total number of EV charging points deployed across LCP-owned retail parks will exceed 900, spanning locations in England, Scotland, and Wales.
Stuart Douglas, Managing Director of PoGo Charge, commented, āThis second agreement coming so soon after the first shows the confidence that LCP has in the proven reliability of our technology, the work weāve already completed and the new installations yet to be energised. Itās clear we share a similar passion for delivering the right infrastructure in the right places to accelerate an electric future.ā
Additionally, PoGo Charge is working with Kew Green Hotels to establish 40 charging hubs across hotel brands such as Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, voco, and Courtyard by Marriott.
