London to expand rapid EV charging with new TotalEnergies deal
Transport for London awards contract for up to 43 ultra‑fast chargers, supporting the city’s push toward 3,500 rapid charge points by 2030.
Transport for London (TfL) has awarded TotalEnergies a contract to deploy up to 43 rapid and ultra‑rapid electric vehicle (EV) chargers across the capital. The new infrastructure will offer 100kW and 200kW charging, enabling most drivers to recharge in around 30 minutes.
The charging bays will be installed along key routes used by taxis, freight operators and other high‑mileage road users, as well as near local high streets. Many of the new locations will be concentrated in south London, including Bromley, Lewisham and Sutton.
This marks the second TfL procurement won by TotalEnergies for new rapid charging sites. Nicolas Garnier, managing director of TotalEnergies Charging Solutions UK, said: “Through this collaboration, we will leverage our operational expertise as a chargepoint operator to support the expansion of a reliable, accessible and high-quality charging network for drivers across London.”
Installation of the new charge points is expected to begin at the end of 2027. TotalEnergies will operate the chargers for 20 years at no cost to TfL, which will receive a share of charging revenues and ground rent for use of its land.
As part of TfL’s EV Infrastructure Delivery Programme, these new EV charging bays will contribute to meeting that demand and further expanding London's charging network.
