Bonnet has become the largest independent EV charging network in Europe on the back of partnerships with Ubitricity and EnBW.

Bonnet now covers more than 40 networks and over 260,000 charging devices across the UK and Europe

The one-stop EV charging app now gives users access to more than 40 networks and over 260,000 charging devices spanning the UK and Europe – that’s up nearly 180% since January this year.

The deal with Ubitricity, the UK’s largest charging network, adds more than 7,000 new locations to its network. Ubitricity, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell, operates lamppost chargers across the UK, Germany and France, giving EV drivers without home charging a crucial and accessible way to recharge, particularly overnight.

Bonnet has also secured a deal with EnBW – adding a further 5,000 locations in Germany.

Patrick Reich, CEO and co-founder of Bonnet, said: “It is a huge moment for us to hit quarter of a million chargers on Bonnet’s network and is the result of the huge effort of our team and collaboration with our partners.

“We are thrilled that Ubitricity, as the UK’s largest charging network, has joined us from today and we really look forward to working with them.

“At Bonnet we are working around the clock to make charging up as easy as possible – removing the need for multiple apps – and the inclusion of leading networks like Ubitricity, whose chargers are accessible on-street, is one way we will deliver this mission.”

Bonnet’s work to ensure EV drivers get access to reliable charging has also seen it launch a new portfolio of solutions for fleets this spring. Aimed at both small and large vehicle operators, the bespoke management platform provides advanced charging behaviour data and simplified invoicing options.
