PoGo signs with Kew Green Hotels to install EV charging hubs
EV charging network PoGo is to create 40 new accessible EV charging hubs at hotel brands including Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, voco and Courtyard by Marriott.
PoGo, the newly launched ultra-rapid EV charging network, has signed a major partnership agreement with Kew Green Hotels which will have a combination of 200kW ultra-rapid charging stations in prime locations across the UK.
This announcement comes three weeks after the official launch of the PoGo network, and Eugenio Herrero, Executive Director of PoGo, sees the partnership as a major step forward in the development of the PoGo network: “We are delighted to be forming this strategic partnership with Kew Green Hotels,” says Eugenio. “We are looking forward to working with such a like-minded team who share our values and commitments to customer experience and sustainability.
“The result of this partnership will be a major boost to EV drivers across the UK and a major benefit to the hotels in meeting the needs of their guests. We are excited to get started.”
The addition of EV charging supports Kew Green Hotel’s ESG goals and its commitment to reach Net Zero emissions by 2040 – 10 years ahead of the Paris Accord Target. As a Planet Mark certified organisation, Kew Green Hotels is taking decisive action to mitigate the climate crisis and future proof its business.
Chris Dexter, CEO for Kew Green Hotels, said: “We are always embracing new ways to positively contribute to the world around us, and we know that our guests are looking to do more too.
“We have recently become Planet Mark certified and we are committed to making year-on-year reductions to our CO2 footprint. We are taking a very holistic view to make this happen, which includes a number of operational changes and initiatives that give our guests choices to be more sustainable. Providing access to EV charging will not only offer more choice for our guests but partnering with PoGo means we’ll also be able to extend this access into the wider EV driver community, something we are very keen to do.”
