LEAP24  launches four new ultra-rapid EV charging sites

Dutch ultra-rapid EV charge point operator LEAP24 has announced the launch of four new ultra-rapid charging locations in Barking, Chingford, Pinner and Watford - all going live within 7 days of each other – bringing the number of ultra-rapid charging sites operated by LEAP24 inside the M25 to nine.

This makes LEAP24 the 6th largest ultra-rapid CPO in London.

Each site features multiple 150-300kW charging points, is fully open to the public, and provides wide bays for accessible, convenient use. There’s no app, membership or subscription needed - drivers simply tap and charge with contactless or charge cards. LEAP24 also offers the lowest average standard ultra-rapid rate in London at just 69p/kWh, making it a highly competitive option for both commercial and private EV drivers.

“We founded LEAP24 to remove the friction from clean mobility - and our London expansion shows how fast, simple, and fair EV charging can be” said Pelle Schlichting, Founder and CEO of LEAP24. “We’re not here to take small steps — we take daily leaps toward a future where clean transport is truly accessible to all.”

Founded in the Netherlands in 2021, LEAP24 is building a North-West European network of ultra-rapid charging locations, with a focus on cities and transit corridors. In the UK, the operator is targeting high-demand areas like Greater London to support growing EV uptake - especially among delivery, ride-hailing and business fleets impacted by tightening clean air policies such as the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).

“Building public charging infrastructure in London isn’t easy - from planning to power upgrades, it’s a complex and often slow-moving process” added Ferry Bosgra, COO at LEAP24. “But the LEAP24 team is resilient and forward-looking. We’ve learned how to navigate those hurdles and deliver reliable, high-performance sites in record time. That’s what sets us apart.”

LEAP24 is in rapid growth mode. In the Netherlands, it has built one of the country’s largest ultra-rapid networks and is the leading electricity supplier to HGVs - a key differentiator in a market demanding high-capacity, high-reliability solutions. The company is now also expanding into Germany, creating a North-West European footprint that positions it as a serious long-term player in the region’s EV infrastructure landscape.

This UK rollout marks a key moment in London’s transition to net-zero transport and underlines LEAP24’s commitment to making EV charging more accessible, more affordable, and more intuitive - for everyone on the road.
