With one of the UK’s largest public EV charging networks, ubitricity operates charge points on behalf of local authorities and private businesses. These are often installed in lamp-posts and bollards along streets, particularly in urban areas.
Access is available on a pay-as-you-go basis, with users scanning a QR code to take them through to a payment platform.

Access to the ubitricity network can be made on a pay-as-you-go basis by scanning in a QR code found on the charge point using a smartphone. This takes users through to a payment page, controlling the start and end of the charging session.

About Ubitricity
One of the UK’s largest charge point networks, ubitricity 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.
