Gridstation’s Mission
Our mission is to deliver sustainable power to transport all types of electric vehicles from forecourt to roads.
Gridstation is taking an evolutional approach exploring the growing need for dedicated EV charging forecourts nationwide to bolster the national charging infrastructure.
The UK is on a journey to a greener future. The rising popularity of electric vehicles is a testament that attitudes among drivers are changing, with uptake over the past year signalling a decisive shift in demand. More than 1,000,000 battery powered vehicles are now on UK roads in 2023. More importantly even, of those who switched, a staggering 90% are extremely happy and wouldn’t go back to petrol or diesel.
This opportunity has prompted new and established operators to come up with a solution, the EV Charging Forecourt. Designed to provide rapid green carbon free charging capacity, it is quickly becoming an asset class of its own, sought after by investors and operators, and attracting the attention of the property industry and landowners.
EV Charging Forecourts can play a key role in growing the national charging capacity.
What is an Ev charging Forecourt?
Gridstation is constructing purpose built EV charging forecourts dedicated to the charging of electric vehicles. Comprising of a variation of charging points to accommodate all electric car makes, it provides drivers with access to easy to operate rapid charging hardware that can deliver enough power for 100 miles in just 20 minutes.
In addition, EV charging forecourts include a wide range of amenities similar to traditional service station such as food to go, coffee, grocery and retail outlets. They can support indoor recreational and business meeting facilities. These attract extra visits from drivers of all vehicles who are attracted to the wider provision of goods and services compared to a traditional forecourt.
WHAT LOCATIONS ARE BEST SUITED FOR AN EV CHARGING FORECOURT?
EV charging forecourts can be build in urban, suburban or out of town locations on sites of an acre or more with additional land adjoining the site for a solar harvesting facility, providing green energy source. Visibility from the road and accessibility is key to delivering a successful destination. For this reason, land alongside major and local arterial roads, and those next to busy roundabouts, are preferred by all operators. In addition we also seek locations with a good catchment profile, and the land itself could be brownfield or Greenfield, with or without existing property or planning permissions.
For landowners looking to sell their land or maximise the value, the rollout of EV charging forecourts is an opportunity not to be missed. Gridstation is seeking to grow their footprint nationwide, we are always seeking further opportunities for our Gridstations nationwide.
We are currently seeking opportunities from owners of land, property consultants, businesses with land portfolios and all other contacts that are interested in exploring the option of developing an EV charging forecourt. The schemes developed are installed, managed, maintained and operated by Gridstation whose mission is to reach zero carbon. Supported by financial institutions with years of technical experience in the energy industry.
