LCP, the national commercial property and investment company, part of M Core, has signed a Development Agreement with PoGo Charge, to deliver ultra-rapid DC charging points at 52 retail sites across the UK.
This second phase agreement adds a further 254 ultra-rapid charging points to the 252 already deployed through the first phase of the agreement, signed in November 2023. With both phases combined, PoGo Charge will deploy over 900 EV charging points across LCP owned retail parks nationwide.
The announcement comes shortly after the first LCP site to feature eight PoGo Touch Plus ultra-rapid DC charging points went live at the Washington Retail Park in time to be used as a Checkpoint for the recent EV Rally.
“This second agreement coming so soon after the first shows the confidence that LCP has in the proven reliability of our technology, the work we’ve already completed and the new installations yet to be energised," said Stuart Douglas, Managing Director of PoGo Charge.
"It’s clear we share a similar passion for delivering the right infrastructure in the right places to accelerate an electric future.”
Central to each of the new installations will be the PoGo Touch – with a power range of 50-600kW this unit offers the fastest charging speeds of any charger currently in the UK.
New ultra-rapid DC charging points will be installed across 52 UK retail sites.
"We are thrilled to extend our collaboration with PoGo Charge. Their proven reliability and speed of deployment align perfectly with our vision for a sustainable future," said Daniel Rainsden, Commercial Director of LCP Group.
"By adding these ultra-rapid charging points, we are significantly enhancing the UK’s EV infrastructure, ensuring that our retail sites are equipped to meet the growing demand for electric vehicle charging. This partnership underscores our commitment to providing the right infrastructure in the right places, driving forward the electric future we all aspire to."
PoGo Charge is also partnered with Zapmap, sharing a live data connection which enables users of the Zapmap app and web map to access the live status and availability of its charge points at any time.
