Flow Power is accelerating its ability to help transition Australia to a cleaner, greener future through an exciting new partnership with GRIDSERVE GLOBAL, a GIGATONS group company and a world leader in delivering best-in-class net zero electric vehicle (EV) charging networks.
GRIDSERVE GLOBAL’s first international partnership since its creation earlier this year by the founders and previous CEO of GRIDSERVE in the UK will see the companies deliver an Australia-wide public network of ultra-fast EV chargers commencing in 2025.
The Flow Power Highway – will utilise the learnings, expertise and technology developed over many years building the UK’s largest and most successful EV charging network, with Flow Power’s local industry-leading renewable energy platform capabilities to deliver a state-of-the-art EV charging network that will set a new benchmark for charging infrastructure in Australia.
This partnership reflects Flow Power’s commitment to driving innovation and engagement in renewable energy and sustainability, while leveraging GRIDSERVE GLOBAL’s extensive expertise, honed through its management’s previous successes in rolling out EV charging infrastructure across the UK.
GRIDSERVE’s Electric Highway is one of the UK’s most-utilised EV charging networks. Through their award-winning Electric Forecourts and Electric Super Hubs across the UK, the network charges about 250,000 electric cars, vans and trucks every month with more than 6 million kWh’s of net zero electricity. GIGATONS, the new parent company of GRIDSERVE GLOBAL being launched today at Abu Dhabi Finance Week, focuses on mobilising additional capital and building on the momentum of GRIDSERVE’s proven UK model to move into new markets, with Flow Power set to bring that model to life in Australia.
“EV charging is a natural extension of Flow Power’s mission to empower Australians to actively participate in and benefit from the energy transition,” says Flow Power CEO Matthew van der Linden.
“We know that charging infrastructure and range anxiety are key barriers for many people considering an EV, and this partnership aims to break down that barrier. With GRIDSERVE GLOBAL’s world-class experience deploying and operating charging infrastructure and Flow Power’s energy expertise, we’re building a future where EVs ownership is easier, more reliable and powered by renewable energy.”
GIGATONS’ business model is set to further build on the value of pairing cutting-edge EV charging technology with sustainable energy solutions. Through its business unit of GRIDSERVE GLOBAL and this partnership with Flow Power, Australia is poised to become a leader in EV infrastructure innovation.
“We are delighted to have joined forces with Flow Power to build a strong partnership and deliver a Partner Network together in Australia,” said Toddington Harper, co-CEO of GIGATONS and CEO GRIDSERVE GLOBAL. “We are looking forward to the journey ahead and providing maximum support in rolling out a world class sun-to-wheel electric vehicle charging network for both cars and trucks.”
Over the coming months, Flow Power and GRIDSERVE GLOBAL will finalise plans for the joint venture, defining the roadmap for deploying the Flow Power Highway and shaping Australia’s EV future.
