How has Gridserve helped develop EV charging infrastructure specifically for HGVs?
In 2025, we launched the Electric Freightway programme, backed by Department for Transport funding, opening the UK’s first public eHGV charging hubs at Extra Baldock and Moto Exeter.
Further sites are due to open this year as we build out the infrastructure needed to decarbonise heavy goods transport.
With the support of our long-term shareholders, we have continued to invest in the technology and infrastructure required to support the growing demands of the UK’s electric vehicle market, with a particular focus on charging speed, network resilience and emerging segments such as electric heavy goods vehicles (eHGVs).
Describe how Gridserve is expanding the charging network in the UK generally?
The network continues to grow, with new sites being developed across the Moto, Roadchef & Extra MSA networks, and a further Electric Forecourt due to open at Markham Vale, off the M1 in summer 2026.
With a focus on ultra-rapid, en-route charging, the network now spans more than 1,600 ultra-rapid charging bays – up 19% year-on-year – across over 200 locations on the UK’s strategic road network, secured through long-term agreements.
Backed by long-term investors TPG Rise Climate and Infracapital, we have the financial strength and strategic support to accelerate the next phase of growth, supporting the government’s ambitions to scale the best of British industry.
It’s more important than ever that the EV infrastructure investment is supported by a stable long-term framework from the government. We remain committed to playing our part in supporting this transition, and we are keen to engage with government on how we can collectively accelerate EV adoption, support UK growth and build the infrastructure the country needs.
What other projects has Gridserve been involved in?
Gridserve has been piloting battery storage solutions in partnership with Ameresco, National Highways and Roadchef to maintain consistent high-power charging at grid-constrained locations.
We also launched Autocharge in 2025, a plug-and-go feature that allows drivers to simply plug in and charge automatically – no cards needed – simplifying the customer experience and driving stronger engagement across the network.
How important is reliability and customer experience for Gridserve?
Throughout the year, we achieved 99% availability throughout our 200 operational sites, delivering industry-leading levels of reliability. Customer satisfaction has also continued to lead the market – Gridserve holds a Trustpilot rating of 4.2, ahead of all major competitors, and this year we have been named a Zap-Map Driver Recommended Network and Charging Network of the Year by Electrifying.com.
We continue to build a network that drivers trust and rely on, providing a leading customer experience that delivers convenience.
Tell us about Gridserve’s latest set of financial results?
Our national network achieved revenues of £64 million for the period ending 31 December 2025. This reflects 45% year-on-year growth as we continued to demonstrate the strength and scalability of our model and the commercial viability of large-scale public EV charging in the UK.
This strong set of results shows the strength of our platform at a time when EV adoption and demand are accelerating across the UK.
