As more of us switch to electric cars there will be a need for further investment in the network to cope with the demand.

This new partnership with GIREVE will make us more accessible to electric vehicle drivers and ensure that these drivers can easily locate our charging points and use their own mobility solutions to pay.

Tim Revill, Chairman of Plug-N-Go commented –

“Being connected to GIREVE is an important step for our company as we will have the opportunity to be located and accessible to most EV drivers in the UK. This connection will increase the rentability of our charging points and will participate in the global service improvement for all EV drivers.”

 

We currently have 72 charge points and with this new connection to GIREVE we will have exciting potential to further develop and place chargers in more locations across the UK. Find your nearest Plug-N-Go charge point with our app here.

After a busy year of new partnerships, Plug-N-Go is excited to continue to form new relationships that will benefit its customers.

Joining the Allstar Business Solutions network means that customers can now use the Allstar fuel card when charging their car, making it easier than ever to pay, charge and go.

This new partnership with Allstar will also benefit fleet managers as they will now be able to pay for all fuel types on one card, streamlining purchase options even further.

With partnerships such as Allstar, Plug-N-Go hopes to continue to make the transition to electric vehicles as easy as possible for businesses and individuals.

In recent months, Plug-N-Go has also partnered with companies such as Plugsurfing, Zap-Map, Octojuice and Bonnet so as to bring fast, reliable and user-friendly charging to the UK, Guernsey and Gibraltar.

Each location has  EV Charge Points where customers can charge their vehicle while making their essential shop. To make locating the charging points even easier, customers can find their closest site using the Plug-N-Go app, Zap-Map, Google maps or What 3 Words.

With seven charging sites currently in operation and another 14 planned over the next year, this partnership will help many more areas in the East of England get access to charging sites for their Electric Vehicles, hopefully encouraging more people to make the change to electric. 

The partnership between East of England Co-op and Plug-N-Go has already seen one site have a complete overhaul of new hardware, with other sites planned for similar upgrades. This means that not only will customers be able to charge their vehicles while they visit the independent retailer, but they can do so with updated equipment to ensure the best results.

Plug-N-Go has recently also partnered with a number of roaming partners including Octopus Energy’s Octojuice, Plugsurfing, Bonnet and AllStar, to make access to EV charge units easier for the public.

East of England Co-op Joint Chief Executive, Nick Denny, said:

“As a large independent retailer, at the heart of over 230 communities, we have both the opportunity and responsibility to ensure that future generations can live in a clean and sustainable environment. 

“Working in partnership with Plug-N-Go, we’re pleased to be extending access to EV charging points across our stores over the coming weeks and months. To further our commitment to this cause and in accordance with our sustainability approach, we have also committed to replacing our own vehicle leased car fleet to electric or hybrid models by 2025.”

Keith Hounsell, Founder and CEO of Plug-N-Go, says:

“I am thrilled that we can assist East of England Co-op, shoppers and visitors to the stores with a reliable charging service that will allow all parties to head towards their ‘Carbon Net Zero’ targets while giving flexibility through the Plug-N-Go network.”

Thanks to Plug-N-Go’s growing partner programme, it’s always easy to charge. The newest partnership with Bonnet, makes it easier than ever to pay for your charge at Plug-N-Go stations. Using the Bonnet app, you can pay for your charge and access accurate information on the availability of charge points. While the company’s existing roaming partners, Plugsurfing, Zap-Map, Octojuice & Allstar, as well as the Plug-N-Go app, means EV charging has never been so accessible.

As the charging landscape continues to change, the existence of apps like Bonnet shows that drivers want to be able to access charge points through a range of ways such as, contactless, cards and apps. And at Plug-N-Go we want to ensure we are ready to help keep drivers charging in the developing EV infrastructure, making the Bonnet partnership so important.   

Keith Hounsell, Founder & CEO of Plug-N-Go, said:

“I am pleased that we have partnered with Bonnet, which will give their users greater scope of charge points being aligned with the Plug-N-Go network, and with the smartphone app that Bonnet offers an ideal subscription-based platform for all to use.”

While Patrick Reich, CEO and Co-founder of Bonnet expressed: 

“Plug-N-Go has been a pioneer in the field of interoperability for quite some time now and it’s a pleasure to be working with them.”

He commented that it is great to have us on board and that he can’t wait for users to begin charging their vehicles.

1. 1. When at the charge point, sanitise your hands with an anti-bacterial gel that is 60% or above in alcohol content. If you are carrying anything, you don’t want to pass it onto others while charging. 
   2. Pick up the charging cable and plug it into your vehicle. 
   3. Plug the other cable into the charging point, lifting the flap up with the cables end to reduce contact.  
   4. Using your Plug-N-Go key fob, you will be able to hover it over the charging station, allowing you to charge without touching any button. 
   5. When your vehicle has finished charging, take the cable out of your car and out of the charging station. Once this is done, please sanitise your hands once again. 
   6. Enjoy your journey.

This un-steered roaming solution has a Fixed Private IP. This means it is secure for two-way communication and makes it in line with Open Charge Point Protocol 1.6 and 2.0. 

We have saved operational costs as we have not had to send maintenance engineers out to locations. We receive alerts on maintenance issues and data overage. Electric Vehicle users, especially those in the country need reassurance that their EV Charge Point is fully functioning.  

Now we are partnering with a major supermarket chain to provide cellular connected EV Charge Points, allowing customers to charge their cars while they shop.

The British Renewable Energy Awards is the most prestigious event in the UK’s renewable energy industry calendar, making the shortlisting even more celebrated by the EV company.   

The Company Award is for “the company that’s done the most in the past year to advance UK renewables and clean technology,” an accolade Plug-N-Go hopes to earn having used the year to push forward and encourage more people to make the switch to electric. 

Throughout 2019, Plug-N-Go ensured every step they took would further the electric movement, whether that meant offering fully funded EV charge points for Local Authorities who could not afford EV charging infrastructure or simply raising awareness of electric vehicles and the positives they provide. 

On being shortlisted, CEO of Plug-N-Go Keith Hounsell said:

“We are thrilled to reach the finalist stage with this year’s REA Energy Awards. Our dedicated team and partners have accomplished so much through the challenges of this year and have enabled us to adapt and continue to develop new locations and to prepare, as best as we can, for 2021. 

“We are looking forward to helping our clients improve air quality and aid their Net Zero Targets, along with giving all our drivers, current and new to the world of electric vehicles, a smooth and reliable public charge for the vehicles. Reaching the finalist stage is a positive step for us all.” 

The shortlist announcement comes just days after news that the government aims to ban the sale of all new petrol and diesel cars by 2030, placing Plug-N-Go in a strong position to help pave the way to an electric future.

The decision to replace combustion engines with electric comes from the carbon dioxide and other pollutants released from the burning of petrol and diesel, which massively effects air pollution. This fight to reduce air pollution is the reason that Plug-N-Go is not only ready to help the UK get ready for a 2030 cut-off but is excited about the opportunity to help the UK reach net zero as quickly as possible.  

Plug-N-Go is currently working with various partners to roll out new EV charging stations around the country. It is the hope of Plug-N-Go that an increase in charging stations will not only help current EV owners but encourage more people to make the switch to electric. 

The news of the ban coming early gives businesses a fantastic opportunity to get ahead of the game by offering cleaner and greener options to their customers while supporting their “green” credentials.  

With the installation of EV charging points in car parks, businesses can encourage more people to visit their site as offering charging for EV vehicles is still considered a relatively unique selling point. For retail establishments, this also offers the potential for customers to spend more time inside while their car charges.

With restrictions in place on journeys, EV charging points offer the chance for people to top up their car while they top up your cupboards, all in one trip to the supermarket. This combination will not only save people time but reduce the number of reasons they need to head out.  

Whether in need of a quick top-up or a longer charge while they do their shop for the week, having access to EV charge points in supermarket carparks is ideal for shoppers. 

CEO of Plug-N-Go, Keith Hounsell, said:

“At a time where every trip out of the house counts, it’s great to be able to provide our customers with an opportunity to save time and make the most of their shopping trips.”
