Ubitricity expands Bexley charging network to 500 points
The charge points were installed between November 2025 and March 2026, with more than 200 units deployed in December alone. According to the company, the chargers have been retrofitted into existing lamp posts on residential streets and can be installed in less than 30 minutes.
All installed charge points include Ubitricity’s smart charging software, which allows users to optimise charging times based on lower electricity tariffs. The company will continue to supply, operate and maintain the charging infrastructure on behalf of the borough.
Ubitricity, which is wholly owned by Shell, stated that it now operates more than 14,600 public charge points across the UK, making it the country’s largest public EV charging operator.
“We are proud to work on this project alongside The London Borough of Bexley to expand access to EV charging across the community,” said Ubitricity’s UK Managing Director, Stuart Wilson. “By installing charge points into existing street light infrastructure, we are making it easy for residents to charge right outside their homes, which we hope will further encourage EV adoption across the borough.”
“These new charging points will make it easier to charge electric vehicles across Bexley with a smart charging option to save money,” added Councillor Cameron Smith, Bexley’s Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Economic Growth and Infrastructure. “Working in partnership with Ubitricity, the public chargers have been installed in existing lamp columns, meaning no extra street clutter nor charging cables crossing pavements.”
