There is already EV charging available in many of the UK car parks APCOA manages, with more than 1,000 charge points installed and a further 300+ in the pipeline for this year. They are in car parks servicing destinations including rail, health, education, hospitality, retail, local government and airports.
APCOA’s first installations of CTEK charge points have just gone into car parks owned by Hillingdon Council in West London. APCOA is also installing CTEK charge points at 37 of the railway station car parks it runs for Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR).
Nathan Courts, CTEK’s Key Account Manager in the UK, said: "We are thrilled to be working with the biggest name in UK car park management. This agreement aligns perfectly with our mission to provide reliable and intelligent destination charging solutions for a greener future.
“Our new CHARGESTORM CONNECTED 3 (CC3) charge point meets the ISO15118 standard so is primed for the next wave of EV charging innovation and is designed to smoothly interact with APCOA’s friction-free approach to the parking, payment and charging experience for drivers.”
Kim Challis, APCOA’s Regional Managing Director - UK & Ireland, said: “We are very excited about this partnership with CTEK which enables us to offer our clients the very latest in dual 22kW technology and functionality, in conjunction with APCOA’s exceptional customer and operational management services.”
CC3 is CTEK’s most advanced charge point to date which is ready for the next era of EV adoption including ‘plug & charge’ automatic vehicle identification. It supports the latest OCPP 2.0.1 standard (Open Charge Point Protocol) for interoperability and communication.
Designed both for ease of installation and ease of use, CC3’s robust anti-tamper enclosure and advanced cyber security features, plus its dual socket options and up to 22kW charging, make it ideally suited to multiple charge point installations at car parks.
Daniel Forsberg, Marketing Manager EVSE at CTEK, said: "Partnering with APCOA enables us to significantly expand our footprint in providing cutting-edge EV charging solutions across the UK. With the installation of our advanced CHARGESTORM CONNECTED units, we are excited to contribute to a more sustainable future by making EV charging more accessible and efficient in key locations nationwide."
APCOA won three prestigious EV awards in 2023: EV Champion of the Year at the British Parking Awards; EV Charging Award at the CiTTi Awards; and Partnership of the Year for the APCOA and Network Rail EV Partnership at the National Sustainability Awards. And CTEK won the Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Manufacturer of the Year at the UK’s E-Mobility Awards 2023.
