Stagecoach has unveiled a new B2B electric vehicle charging scheme to support UK firms as they look to transition to electric fleets.
The bus and coach operator has switched its depots – in Inverness, Oxford, Cambridge, Kilmarnock, London (Ash Grove), Stockton and Dover – into commercial EV charging hubs under its new Chargd initiative, enabling third‑party fleets to charge vehicles throughout the day.
More locations are due to be added across the company’s estate of more than 100 depots throughout 2026 and beyond.
Some of these sites also support eHGV charging, reflecting growing demand from logistics, construction and utilities operators.
Stagecoach has invested more than £500m in EVs and charging infrastructure since 2021.
The firm is working towards a zero-tailpipe emission bus fleet by 2035, purchases 100% renewable electricity across its operations, and has science‑based emissions reduction targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative.
Stagecoach said that whether it is for last-mile deliveries, utilities or telecoms servicing, or other businesses operating large fleets, Chargd provides access to reliable, large‑scale charging infrastructure.
Debra Goodwin, Chief People and Customer Officer at Stagecoach, said: “We’ve spent years electrifying our own fleet at scale, and we know that charging infrastructure is one of the biggest barriers facing businesses on that same decarbonisation journey.
“Chargd is about using that experience to go further, opening up our depots and providing practical, reliable charging that works for real‑world fleet operations.
“This isn’t a future concept. It’s live, it’s scalable and it’s designed to help businesses make the switch to electric vehicles with confidence.”
