Fast local top-ups without leaving your route.
PowerPledge is building battery-backed rapid charging hubs across London, designed for drivers who need convenient top-ups near where they live, work, shop, eat, exercise or travel.
Instead of forcing drivers to rely only on home charging, slow public chargers or motorway rapid charging, PowerPledge brings faster charging into useful urban locations.
London needs a different charging model.
Many charging networks were built around one assumption: drivers charge slowly at home, then use rapid chargers on motorways for long journeys.
But London does not work like that.
Many drivers do not have private parking or a personal charger. Others drive too much during the day to rely only on overnight charging. For taxis, Ubers, delivery drivers, local fleets and high-mileage users, charging needs to be fast, local and convenient.
PowerPledge is designed for the missing middle: rapid charging in useful city locations where drivers already pass, stop or wait.
No need to plan around charging, to find an available overnight slow charger in your area, 100 meters from your home. Charge fast where you need and park your car overnight where you always do. No need drive far out to get to an overpriced rapid charger either.
Quick top-ups where you already stop.
For many drivers, the perfect charger is not the biggest motorway station. It is the charger near a gym, pub, hotel, office, shop, restaurant, car park or residential block.
PowerPledge works with London site hosts to place battery-backed rapid chargers in everyday urban locations. Less detouring, less waiting, less time lost.
Battery storage unlocks more sites.
Rapid chargers usually need large electrical connections. In dense cities, that can make them slow, expensive or difficult to install. PowerPledge uses battery storage to unlock more sites.
The battery slowly charges from the host site, then releases high power when EVs need rapid charging — bringing rapid chargers to locations that may not otherwise support them.
- More rapid chargers in useful urban areas
- Faster deployment of new charging locations
- Potentially lower charging costs
- Less pressure on constrained grid connections
- Better availability in places drivers already use
