- Duracell partners with Driivz to power its new UK ultra‑fast EV charging network, Duracell E‑Charge, operated by The EV Network.
- Driivz will provide its software platform, including OCPI roaming, real‑time monitoring, and analytics, enabling the network to connect with other services and optimize uptime.
- Duracell E‑Charge plans to roll out at least 100 stations and 500 charging points across the UK by 2030, with a branded app and web portal for drivers to locate, start, and pay for sessions.
- Mark Bloxham, managing director of Duracell E‑Charge, says the partnership gives the network scalable control, performance, and commercial efficiency while delivering simple pricing and high reliability.
Why it matters: UK EV drivers gain a reliable ultra‑fast charging option, while Duracell expands its brand into energy services and Driivz secures a long‑term software contract; the network’s 100‑station goal by 2030 adds 500 chargers to the UK market.
