New EV charging for North London thanks to the UK Power Networks Green Recovery programme

New Electric Vehicle (EV) charging points in North London have been energised and are ready to use, thanks to a partnership through the UK Power Networks Green Recovery programme.

The £1.2m Green Recovery investment is delivering 1.5MVA of extra power to EV charge points at Motor Fuel Group’s (MFG) service station in Stoke Newington. The upgrade is for MFG Ambassador, on the key A10 route, with eight new ultra-rapid 150kW EV Power chargers now online.

UK Power Networks is delivering £66m in investment across 85 sites as part of the Green Recovery programme, to fast-track low carbon energy projects that will help achieve the Government’s Ten Point Plan towards Net Zero by 2050. This supports the transition to Net Zero carbon emissions and London Mayor, Sadiq Khan’s pathway for London to be Net Zero Carbon by 2030.

Martin Symes, Motor Fuel Group EV director, said: “UK Power Networks proudly champions the EV sector in its journey towards empowering sustainable mobility.

“By fostering innovative connections using its Green Recovery scheme, they pave the way for a resilient and eco-friendly future. This in turn allows Motor Fuel Group the opportunity to continue its fast paced Ultra Rapid charging rollout across its nearly 900 locations throughout the UK.”

The UK Power Networks team has energised four MFG forecourts so far under the Green Recovery programme.
