Electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions ChargePoint Holdings and RAW Charging have announced a new multiyear partnership to deliver more than 300 fast chargers across the UK.
Under the agreement, RAW Charging extends and expands its long-standing partnership with ChargePoint as its technology partner, encompassing charging hardware, software and services.
The partnership represents an initial commitment valued at $7.5 million (£5.6m) and will “play a crucial role in RAW Charging’s continuing ambition to be recognised as the leading destination Charge Point Operator in the UK”, it said.
Every new fast charging station deployed through the collaboration will run on the ChargePoint Platform, the company’s flexible software solution for EV charging, and be backed by ChargePoint‘s Assure Pro, a maintenance service that ensures network reliability.
The collaboration also aims to strengthen RAW Charging’s Connecting Amazing Places campaign, which is focused on normalising EV charging at destinations rather than solely enroute, it added.
Rick Wilmer, CEO at ChargePoint, said:
“We are excited to support RAW Charging with the solutions they need to expand their business and uphold their reputation for a superior charging experience.
“By collaborating with RAW Charging, we’re combining proven technology with operational excellence to ensure UK drivers have fast, dependable charging wherever they go.”
Jason Simpson, CEO at RAW Charging, commented:
“As the UK’s leading CPO dedicated to hospitality, leisure and retail we are committed to providing seamless charging for the millions of visitors to our world class destinations.
“The ChargePoint ecosystem provides a best-in-class driver experience for drivers providing easy station location and availability data alongside contactless, app-based and roaming payment options.”
