Ubitricity, the largest public EV charging operator in the UK, has rolled out 400 lamppost EV charge points across the London Borough of Bexley.

This rollout builds on the 100 charge points installed by Ubitricity in Bexley in 2025, taking the total network to 500 charge points across the borough.

The charge points have been retrofitted into existing lampposts on residential streets, helping residents charge closer to their homes. All the charge points include Ubitricity’s Smart Charging software, which helps drivers to save money on their charge by selectively charging when tariffs are cheaper.

Ubitricity, a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell, will supply, install, operate and maintain the charge points on behalf of the London borough. Ubitricity now has a network of over 14,600 public charge points across the UK.

Stuart Wilson, UK managing director of Ubitricity, said: “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.”

Councillor Cameron Smith, Bexley’s Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Economic Growth and Infrastructure, said: “These new charging points will make it easier to charge electric vehicles across Bexley with a smart charging option to save money.”

He added: “As more residents switch to electric vehicles, we’re committed to delivering the charging infrastructure our borough needs to keep moving.”
