Our take

Estimates suggest that the UK needs up to half a million destination and public charging points by 2030 to meet its EV goals, a stark contrast to the current count of fewer than 30,000 charging points. This scarcity underscores the need for an innovative solution.

Recognising the urgency of the situation, Zest Eco has emerged to tackle the pressing challenge of inadequate EV charging infrastructures across the UK. Going beyond the conventional model, Zest takes on the financial and operational burdens for landowners, offering end-to-end solutions, from planning and installation to ongoing maintenance. By doing so, Zest ensures a seamless experience for site hosts, removing barriers that often deter them from actively participating in the EV revolution.

With an initial investment of £30 million from the government's Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund (CIIF), Zest is poised to catalyse a transformative shift in the UK's EV landscape. This funding positions Zest as a key player in democratising EV ownership, allowing it to rapidly address gaps in the maturing EV infrastructure.
