Problem
Many businesses in the UK lack access to electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, limiting their ability to attract EV-driving customers and support the growing demand for destination charging. The upfront costs and ongoing maintenance of EV charging points can be a significant barrier for businesses looking to provide this amenity.
Solution
Zapgo provides a fully funded EV charging network by installing rapid charging points at no cost to businesses. The company offers a revenue-sharing model, enabling businesses to generate income from their car parks while supporting the transition to electric vehicles. Zapgo handles the entire process, including installation, maintenance, and 24/7 support, removing the burden from the business owner. By partnering with Zapgo, businesses can enhance their local area's infrastructure and attract EV drivers, who typically spend around 50 minutes at a location while their car charges.
