Rolec and Go Zero have partnered on EV infrastructure across the UK’s hospitality sector to provide leisure destinations and hotels with charging solutions.
With a £100m debt financing facility secured by Go Zero, the partnership aims to use the cash to roll out multi-bay EV hubs at scale through Go Zero’s VendEx model – removing upfront capital expenditure for businesses.
The firms highlighted that 90% of EV drivers prefer destinations with chargepoints, but only 6% of city hotels in the UK currently offer EV charging.
With Go Zero and Rolec working together, the companies said that financial barriers are removed, “enabling businesses to implement charging infrastructure quickly and efficiently while generating recurring revenue”.
Go Zero’s ownership of its CPO software aims to align seamlessly with Rolec’s strategic direction for its hardware and software roadmap, the firms said. Rolec further complements the partnership with UK-based manufacturing, technical support, and a national partner network, enabling simultaneous installation and management across sites, backed by a proven range of AC and DC hardware, it added.
Andy Taylor, CEO of Go Zero, said:
“Securing this £100M debt facility is a strong vote of confidence in Go Zero’s strategy and growth prospects within hospitality. With funding in place, we can fully deliver our current project pipeline, expand rapidly across key hotel locations, and continue providing scalable, guest-friendly charging solutions.
“Partnering with Rolec for hardware supply ensures faster installation, multi-bay EV hubs, and a bigger national footprint, bringing our vision of 10,000 sockets closer to reality.”
Darren North, National Sales Manager at Rolec, said:
“Destination charging isn’t yet where it should be, and this partnership represents a significant step toward addressing that gap. By combining Go Zero’s funding expertise with Rolec’s UK-manufactured hardware, technical capability, and nationwide installer network, we are enabling businesses to introduce EV charging with no upfront cost.
“The benefits extend beyond sustainability, charging infrastructure boosts visits, longer dwell times, and higher local spend, while also supporting operators in achieving their net zero goals. Together, we are building a future-proof network that serves drivers, businesses, and communities across the UK.”
