NWF invested £55M (about €66M), while Aviva Investors contributed the rest. The company plans to use the funds to expand its charging network from 9,000 sockets to 40,000 by the end of 2024.

Chris Pateman-Jones, Connected Kerb CEO, says, “This investment combines Connected Kerb’s proven hardware and advanced software infrastructure with the financial resources of NWF and Aviva to deploy public charging at scale, to all corners of the UK. This is a game-changing investment that will give individuals and businesses the confidence to make the switch to driving electric dramatically reducing carbon emissions and air pollution.

The funding follows a record of nearly 20k public charge points added last year. With a further £6bn in the pipeline from industry by 2030, the switch to EVs is driving investment across the country, supporting jobs, and making the UK a clean energy superpower to deliver our change plan.”
