Blink Charging UK, a subsidiary of leading global EV charging
provider, Blink Charging Co., has collaborated with Evri, the UK’s
biggest dedicated parcel delivery company, to install one of Evri’s
first EV charging hubs at its sorting center in Rugby, UK.
The charging site is the first step in a larger
program which will see new EV chargers installed at Evri’s sites
across the UK as part of its goal to reach net-zero emissions by
2035. Evri selected Blink for the Rugby site based on its reliable,
scalable EV equipment and extensive fleet expertise. As carriers
look to electrify their fleets, Blink Charging UK provides guidance
to help assess Evri’s requirements and optimize their
infrastructure to meet the needs of a busy charging hub point.
The charging hub at Rugby is a 24-hour
operation, with the chargers expected to be in use 60-80% of the
time. Each charger has been strategically placed to be accessible
to Evri’s hundreds of staff at the center as well as to their fleet
vehicles.
The Eve Single Pro line smart charging solution
is a lightweight and durable charger, with a user-friendly
interface, enabling one vehicle to charge at up to 22kW. The
charger complies with all relevant standards, including IEC
61851:2017 - IEC 61851:2017.
The purpose-built, automated parcel distribution
hub in Rugby, is one of the biggest of its kind in the UK and can
process more than one million parcels a day. Installing Blink
chargers is part of Evri’s plans to improve its charging
infrastructure and grow their existing low carbon fleet, which
consists of 167 electric vans and growing fleet of e-cargo
bikes.
"This is an exciting opportunity to work with
Evri to accelerate the deployment of zero emission delivery
services in the UK,” said Managing Director, Blink Charging UK,
Alex Calnan. “Blink will leverage our turnkey offering covering
design, install and management of a scalable charging network,
delivering future ready networks to support Evri’s ambitious plans.
It is a significant milestone as we help one of the UK’s biggest
dedicated parcel delivery companies take one step closer to
reaching their goal of net-zero ambitions.”
Pauline Potter, Director of Procurement and
Sustainability at Evri, said, “we are committed to delivering a
sustainable future. This partnership is an important step for Evri
on our journey towards net-zero and we are delighted to be working
with the team at Blink Charging UK to install EV charging for our
Rugby-based vehicles. Together, we can build a more sustainable
future for parcel delivery and the communities we serve.”
Blink Charging UK has more than 2,000 chargers
in the United Kingdom and Ireland with customers in sectors
including local authorities, NHS trusts, universities, and fleets.
The Company plans to further expand its offerings in the UK and
Ireland to include new commercial and home chargers, global network
services and apps, and new fleet management tools.
