The Dutch ultra-rapid EV charge point operator, which is in “rapid growth mode”, has gone live with new Barking, Chingford, Pinner and Watford locations.
Each site features multiple 150-300kW charging points, is fully open to the public and provides wide bays for accessibility. There’s no app, membership or subscription needed – drivers just tap and charge with contactless or charge cards.
Leap24 also lays claim to offering the lowest average standard ultra-rapid rate in London at 69p/kWh, targeted to deliver a highly competitive option for both commercial and private EV drivers alike.
With these additions, the firm now operates nine ultra-rapid charging sites inside the M25, making it the sixth largest ultra-rapid CPO in London.
The launch underlines Leap24’s commitment to making EV charging more accessible, more affordable and more intuitive for all 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 such as Greater London to support growing EV uptake – especially among delivery, ride-hailing and business fleets impacted by tightening clean air policies including the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).
Ferry Bosgra, COO at Leap24, remarked: “Building public charging infrastructure in London isn’t easy – from planning to power upgrades, it’s a complex and often slow-moving process. 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.”
