Throwback Thursday! ⚡️ Last week, our Director of EV Implementation, Paul Comer, participated in a panel discussion at the Charge Point event. They shared insights on the challenges and solutions facing the UK's EV charger rollout. As we continue to support the growth of electric vehicle ownership, we're committed to providing accessible and reliable charging infrastructure. Want to know more about our EV charging solutions?

As part of World Alzheimer’s Month, we’re re-sharing our powerful campaign, Change The Ending. This hard-hitting film lays bare the harsh realities of dementia – a reality far too many of us are aware of. The tide is turning, we’re starting to close in, but there’s so much more we need to do to change the ending for everyone affected by dementia. Stand with @Alzheimer’s Research UK #ForACure by watching and sharing our film to help change the ending.

Hello, Roadchef! 🚗 We are excited to announce our new partnership with Roadchef, one of Britain’s leading roadside service area operators. Last week, Roadchef marked the start of our journey together with a visit to our lab at the Oxford Drug Discovery Institute to meet the researchers searching for a cure for dementia. This month, as part of World Alzheimer’s Month, site teams will also be taking part in fundraising walks across the UK! Good luck to all the teams and we’ll keep you updated on their progress. Thank you, Roadchef, for standing with Alzheimer’s Research UK. Together, For A Cure. 🧡

Proud to be working with and fundraising for Alzheimer's Research UK 🧡 An honour to meet the people working ‘for a cure’ at the Oxford Drug Discovery Institute and hear how our fundraising can help support their work.

🚗 Why is the UK falling behind in the EV race? 🚗 As Europe surges ahead in electric vehicle (EV) adoption, Britain is lagging. Despite growing global momentum towards greener transport, the UK faces infrastructure, financial, and policy challenges. In his latest article, Sajid Yacoob, our EV and Renewables Director, dives into what the UK can learn from the likes of Norway, Germany, and the Netherlands, where comprehensive policies and investment in charging infrastructure have driven significant EV growth. 🔗 Find out how the UK can catch up and accelerate its green energy transition - https://lnkd.in/eFbuXX4m

Our newest EV Development is supporting electric vehicle drivers heading home from Cornwall, Devon and Somerset! We’ve added six new chargers to Roadchef Taunton Deane Northbound - six CCS ports - giving EV drivers the opportunity to recharge, rest and refuel on their M5 journey. The site becomes the fourth Roadchef to be upgraded with new EV chargers this year, following the addition of six new 350kW-capable chargers at Rownhams Eastbound, Bothwell and Durham respectively.
