Ubitricity acquires FM Conway's Surecharge network

Ubitricity has acquired FM Conway's SureCharge EV Charging operation, adding 2,400 chargepoints to its network.

The newly added chargepoints have been installed in lampposts on residential streets, allowing EVs to charge at 4.8kW per hour.

Ubitricity, which is a subsidiary of Shell, expects all chargepoints to be rebranded to Shell Recharge within two months.

Alexander Reinhardt, CEO of Ubitricity, said: “This growth to the Shell Recharge network supports our ambition to expand reliable and affordable public charging across the UK. This acquisition helps accelerate progress towards more sustainable mobility for drivers and communities.”

Rebecca Hatch, FM Conway digital urban solutions director, added: “We are very excited to be working with Ubitricity to continue on the success of the previous five years since SureCharge was introduced to our London borough clients.”
