About ubitricity

One of the UK’s largest charge point networks, ubitricity is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell and belongs to the Mobility Division. It manufactures and operates electric vehicle charge points incorporated into new and existing lamp-posts and bollards. Because there is no need to dig up the pavement – the charge points’ electricity supply is from the lamp-post feed – installation is faster and cheaper than with a conventional unit.

The company’s units use a Type 2 inlet, and charging at up 5.5 kW is possible from most chargers – though some are restricted to 3 kWh where infrastructure dictates.

ubitricity has worked with over 30 local authorities to rollout over 9,000 on-street residential charge points across the UK.

ubitricity is a charging network offering On-street charging in the UK. As of July 2025 ubitricity had a total of 9,705 charge points across the UK.
