News — M The Galleries Expands EV Charging Network with PoGo Charge

 

 

M The Galleries, Washington, is set to become a key hub in the UK’s growing EV infrastructure as part of LCP’s extended partnership with PoGo Charge. This collaboration will deliver ultra-rapid (UR) DC charging points at an additional 52 retail sites nationwide, including M The Galleries, ensuring the centre remains at the forefront of sustainable innovation.

Expanding the Network
The second phase of this partnership adds 254 new UR DC charging points, building on the 252 deployed during the first phase signed in November 2023. Together, these phases will see over 900 charging points installed across LCP’s retail portfolio, solidifying M The Galleries’ position as a destination for EV drivers.

Recently, M The Galleries became the first M Core site to debut eight PoGo Touch Plus Ultra-Rapid DC chargers. These state-of-the-art chargers were operational just in time to serve as a Checkpoint for the EV Rally, showcasing the centre’s commitment to supporting electric vehicle users.

Innovative Technology for a Greener Future
At the heart of the rollout is the PoGo Touch unit, offering industry-leading charging speeds of 50-600kW. Its 32-inch touchscreen not only simplifies tariff and payment instructions but also provides local retailers with a platform to promote in-store discounts and incentives, seamlessly integrating convenience with community engagement.

Shared Vision for Sustainability
Stuart Douglas, Managing Director of PoGo Charge, praised the ongoing collaboration:
“This second agreement highlights the trust LCP has in our technology and the work we’ve accomplished so far. M The Galleries is a perfect example of how we’re bringing essential infrastructure to the right locations, helping drive the UK’s transition to electric vehicles.”

He continued: “PoGo Charge may be a young business, but with a strong financial foundation from our parent company, we’re proud to partner with LCP and progressive sites like M The Galleries to shape a sustainable future.”

By embracing this cutting-edge technology, M The Galleries not only enhances its appeal to visitors but also strengthens its commitment to environmental responsibility and innovation.
