Real estate investment firm Knight Frank Investment Management to partner with Mer to bring high powered EV charging to UK commercial tenants.

Mer, a European electric vehicle (EV) charging company, aim to install EV charge points across more than 100 of Knight Frank Investment Management’s (KFIM) client owned sites in the UK.

Mer will aim to install approximately 450 sockets across the company’s UK-wide portfolio, with a mixture of rapid and ultra-rapid charge points available for public use.

Karl Anders, Managing Director at Mer UK said: “Following an in-depth tender process, it is a privilege to become the exclusive EV charging partner for a leading real estate investment manager. KFIM’s decision to partner with Mer highlights its proactive commitment to providing innovative property solutions as we move into the new electric era.”

Matt Simmonds at KFIM said, “After recognising that reliable and future-fit EV charging infrastructure is becoming an increasingly in-demand asset of commercial properties, it was important that we partnered with an experienced charge point operator who understands the complex needs of our portfolio of sites. Mer’s charge points will help us provide an essential service to our tenants and visitors, and we are looking forward to working with Mer in the roll out of charging infrastructure in the coming months.”
