Blink Charging UK has collaborated with Evri to install one of Evri's first EV Charging Hubs at its sorting centre in Rugby. The charging site is the first step in a larger programme which will see new EV chargers installed at Evri's sites across the UK as part of its goal to reach net-zero by 2035. Evri selected Blink for the Rugby site based on its reliable, scalable EV equipment and extensive fleet expertise.

As carriers look to electrify their fleets, Blink Charging UK provides guidance to help assess Evri's requirements and optimize their infrastructure to meet the needs of a busy hub point. The hub at Rugby is a 24-hour operation, with the chargers expected to be in use 60-80% of the time. Each charger has been strategically placed to be accessible to Evri's hundreds of staff at the centre as well as to their fleet vehicles.

The Eve Single Pro line smart charging solution is a lightweight and durable charger, with a user-friendly interface, enabling one vehicle to charge at up to 22kW. The charger complies with all relevant standards, including IEC 61851:2017 - IEC 61851: 2017. The purpose-built, automated parcel distribution hub in Rugby, is one of the biggest of its kind in the UK and can process more than one million parcels a day.

Installing Blink chargers is part of the company's plans to improve its charging infrastructure and grow their existing low carbon fleet, which consists of 167 electric fans and growing fleet of e-cargo bikes. Blink Charging UK has more than 2,000 chargers in the United Kingdom and Ireland with customers in sectors including local authorities, NHS trusts, universities, and fleets. The Company plans to further expand its offerings in the UK and Ireland to include new commercial and home chargers, global network services and apps, and new fleet management tools.
