evyve

evyve is a British electric vehicle (EV) charging network operator that builds and runs rapid and ultra-rapid charging points across the United Kingdom. It was formed as a joint venture between EVY Infrastructure Partners (EVY IP) and Peel NRE, part of Peel L&P, and describes itself as a business providing charging points for electric vehicles in the UK. The network is aimed at drivers who need to recharge quickly while on the move, and its chargers are located at retail and leisure outlets, business parks and restaurants — places where drivers can combine a charging stop with shopping, eating or other activities. evye positions itself around convenience, reliability and simplicity. Its rapid chargers are a minimum of 50 kW, and its locations include up to 300 kW rapid EV chargers intended to get drivers back on the road in minutes. The company reports 99% uptime across its charging network and provides real-time charge point data through its app. Payment is designed to be flexible: drivers can pay as they go through the evyve app or by contactless bank card, with no registration or membership fees, and app users can access lower rates. The company also offers a VAT invoice generator so business users can download invoices. Sustainability is central to evyve's stated identity. The company says its charging stations are powered by 100% renewable energy and that it is committed to supporting the UK's net zero goals by rolling out EV infrastructure. It has set out pledges around sustainability, technology, accessibility and its "Clean Commitment," and states an ambition that its chargers should deliver 1 billion emission-free miles by 2030. The network has grown steadily since the company was formed. evyve signed a framework agreement with the pub chain Greene King in December 2020, onboarded its first Peel site charger in July 2021, reached its first 100 operational locations in June 2022, and opened its first hub — at Hobby Horse, with eight ultra-rapid connectors — in July 2024. As a private joint venture rather than a listed company, evyve does not trade on a stock exchange; it operates as part of the broader Peel and EVY infrastructure ecosystem.

evyve was formed as a joint venture between EVY Infrastructure Partners (EVY IP) and Peel NRE, part of Peel L&P, with the aim of building a safe, secure and convenient electric vehicle charging network across the UK. The company's stated motivation is that electric vehicles are essential to the UK's net zero targets, and that without sufficient charging infrastructure the transition away from petrol and diesel vehicles would be held back. evyve therefore set out to deliver a network of chargers in convenient locations, powered by renewable energy. The network's early growth was marked by partnerships and site rollouts. In December 2020, evyve signed a framework agreement with the leading pub chain Greene King, an early sign of its strategy of placing chargers at hospitality and leisure destinations. In July 2021, the company onboarded its first Peel site charger into the evyve network, connecting its operations to the Peel estate. By June 2022, evyve had reached its first 100 operational locations across the network, a significant scale milestone for a young charging operator. In July 2024, evyve opened its first hub, located at Hobby Horse, equipped with eight ultra-rapid connectors. This marked a shift toward larger, multi-connector hub sites rather than solely individual chargers at host locations. Across its network, evyve has emphasised reliability, reporting 99% uptime, and has built its customer experience around its mobile app, which provides live charge point information, session control and lower charging rates for app users compared with contactless payment. The company operates charging stations at retail and leisure outlets, business parks and restaurants, and says its chargers are powered by 100% renewable energy. It has set out pledges covering sustainability, technology, accessibility and its "Clean Commitment," and states an ambition that its chargers should deliver 1 billion emission-free miles by 2030. As a private joint venture, evyve is not listed on a stock exchange and does not report publicly traded shares; it operates within the EVY Infrastructure Partners and Peel NRE ownership structure.
