Leap24 is expanding its fast-charging network in the Netherlands and the UK with the help of new funding from Triodos Bank.

The new loan facilities enable Leap24 to grow its network in Dutch cities and Greater London

The new loan facilities enable Leap24 to grow its network in Dutch cities and Greater London, supporting fleets navigating Zero Emission Zones and London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).

In the UK, Leap24 currently owns and operates 11 sites, with plans to grow to 34 sites and 80 DC chargers by the end of 2027.

Through a network of fast-charging stations at strategic locations – such as near city centres and on business parks – Leap24 enables heavy users to charge quickly and efficiently, helping to minimise downtime.

The charging bays are designed with larger vehicles in mind, so vans and other commercial vehicles can access chargers more easily. Through its PartnerPark offering, businesses can also contract a dedicated charging bay for overnight charging, helping optimise the use of available grid capacity.

Pelle Schlichting, founder and CEO of Leap24, said: “Triodos Bank’s financing of Leap24 helps to address one of the biggest concerns of entrepreneurs and municipalities: the shortage of suitable charging points in zero-emission zones.

“By investing in this infrastructure, Triodos Bank and Leap24 are accelerating the energy transition together and making emission-free transport in and around the city more accessible to businesses than ever before.”

Both the Dutch branch of Triodos Bank and the bank’s UK subsidiary have been involved in this transaction.

Alex Stephens, senior relationship manager for energy and project finance at Triodos Bank UK, commented: “The combination of fast-charging stations and zero-emission zones immediately appealed to us and distinguishes Leap24 from other providers in the market. With this, our first financing of fast-charging stations, we are contributing to the development of electric transport in cities.”
