Pre-bookable EV charging network on the way

A new partnership will enable drivers of electric vehicle to pre-book access to charge points across the country.

YourParkingSpace and EVBox have agreed to work together to roll-out a pre-bookable EV charging network across the country, including at locations in the retail and hospitality sectors.

The partnership follows a successful trial at the Holiday Inn Express Bicester, and is set to drive YourParkingSpace’s ambition of ensuring that UK motorists are never more than 20 minutes away from an available charge point, which can be booked and paid for in advance.

Harrison Woods, CEO at YourParkingSpace.co.uk, said: “This partnership with EVBox is hugely exciting, enabling us to rapidly scale the deployment of charging stations for electric vehicles, scooters and other emerging micro-mobility services.”

“As a result of this ground-breaking partnership, we’re rolling out 200 charge points across the UK’s largest Holiday Inn Express franchise, Atlas Hotels, alongside a further 3,000 charge points for our comparable clients across the UK over the next 18 months.”

Jonathan Goose, EVBox group regional director UK and Ireland, said: “As eMobility continues to rapidly rise in the UK, the revolutionary partnership between YourParkingSpace and EVBox Group will address the growing demand for accessibility and availability of EV charging ports, while creating a new era of commercial charging in the UK.”
