en.Wedoany.com Reported - EZO has secured a £176 million contract to deploy and manage electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across four administrative regions in central England. The 15-year agreement will install 250 new charging points in Worcestershire, Leicestershire, Rutland, and Warwickshire, serving approximately 2 million residents in the area.
The contract was awarded by the Fourth Central Midlands EV Charging Infrastructure Consortium, which is jointly formed by the councils of the four counties and collaborates with regional transport authorities. The project is funded by the UK government, with EZO responsible for implementation, requiring no direct capital investment from the councils. The contract focuses on deploying fast and ultra-fast charging points in areas reliant on on-street parking, a key initiative to address the convenience of charging for residents without driveways—a major barrier to EV adoption.
The CEO of EZO stated that this central England partnership marks another significant milestone for the company and demonstrates the trust of UK local authorities in EZO's ability to deploy EV charging at scale. This rollout will transform the EV charging landscape in central England, making it easier for residents and businesses to transition to clean transportation.
This central England contract is the second major EV charging agreement EZO has secured in the UK over the past 12 months. Previously, in October 2025, the company signed a €300 million, 20-year contract to deploy charging infrastructure in northern Scotland. EZO currently operates over 400 charging points in that region, with approximately 1,000 more under development. This central England contract brings EZO's total contract value in the UK to €563 million. The company stated that its strategy is not only to deploy charging points but also to build infrastructure for the next generation of mobility in communities, with over 140,000 users already on its platform.
