Dutch ultra-rapid EV chargepoint operator (CPO) LEAP24 has launched four new charging locations in Barking, Chingford, Pinner and Watford.

All the sites have gone gone live within 7 days of each other, with LEAP24 now operating 9 ultra-rapid charging sites inside the M25.

Each site features multiple 150-300kW charging points, is fully open to the public, and provides wide bays for accessible, convenient use with contactless or charge card payment.

LEAP24 also offers one of the lowest average standard ultra-rapid rate in London at just 69p/kWh.

Founded in the Netherlands in 2021, LEAP24 is building a North-West European network of ultra-rapid charging locations, with a focus on cities and transit corridors.

In the UK, the operator is targeting high-demand areas like Greater London to support growing EV uptake — especially among delivery, ride-hailing and business fleets impacted by tightening clean air policies such as the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).

In the Netherlands, it has built one of the country’s largest ultra-rapid networks and one of the leading electricity suppliers to HGVs. The company is now also expanding into Germany.

Pelle Schlichting, Founder and CEO of LEAP24, said:

“We founded LEAP24 to remove the friction from clean mobility — and our London expansion shows how fast, simple, and fair EV charging can be.

“We’re not here to take small steps — we take daily leaps toward a future where clean transport is truly accessible to all.”

Ferry Bosgra, COO at LEAP24, said:

“Building public charging infrastructure in London isn’t easy — from planning to power upgrades, it’s a complex and often slow-moving process. But the LEAP24 team is resilient and forward-looking.

“We’ve learned how to navigate those hurdles and deliver reliable, high-performance sites in record time. That’s what sets us apart.”
