Chargemaster to expand network and replace broken charging points for free
Date: 10 July 2015 | Author: Daniel Puddicombe
Electric vehicle charging point operator Chargemaster has announced it will expand its network by installing 2000 new points across the country.
The new points will join the firm's existing network of 4000 charging stations.
Chargemaster said the move intends to resolve issues where several third-party charging points installed under the Government's Plugged in Places scheme have been unserviceable.
Chargemaster is offering to replace these units for free to enable the nation's infrastructure to be upgraded.
The company said it will install around 1000 points in London, some of which will replace non-functional stations, while 600 stations will be placed in new locations with a focus on hotels, supermarkets and health clubs.
"Chargemaster is committed to making electric vehicles a viable option to people across the UK, and this latest move solidifies that intention," said David Martell, chief executive of Chargemaster. "By growing our network nationwide, but also focusing on traditionally poor areas of service, such as London, we are confident we will make a marked difference for EV owners wanting to charge on the move".
