GRIDSERVE to Rollout a Net-Zero EV Charging Network in Australia

The UK's GRIDSERVE has announced plans to roll-out an  EV charging network across Australia, in partnership with renewable company, Flow Power. Multiple sites have already been signed up, with construction due to start in 2025. .

The plans will build on the learnings, expertise, and technology developed in delivering and operating GRIDSERVE’s Electric Highway in the UK, with smart connected products and services for both electric cars and electric trucks.

This will be delivered in along with Flow Power’s local clean energy and project delivery expertise. 

The founders of GRIDSERVE hadv also unveiled GIGATONS, a global technology and funding platform designed to accelerate the global transition to net zero.  ,

GIGATONS aims to address three of the biggest barriers to delivering the gigaton-scale carbon emission reductions needed to support net zero; scaling infrastructure to decarbonise transport and energy, mobilising capital to scale new projects that tackle the climate crisis, and boosting transparency to improve trust.  

It will be headquartered in Abu Dhabi.

Toddington Harper, previously founder and CEO of GRIDSERVE, now co-founder and co-CEO of GIGATONS, CEO GIGASERVE & GRIDSERVE GLOBAL, says: “GRIDSERVE demonstrated how innovation, sustainability, and customer-centric solutions could deliver significant impact. With GIGATONS, we are taking this mission global, scaling net zero solutions to deliver gigatons of carbon reductions with the speed and scale required to limit global temperature rises to within 1.5 degrees of warming.” 

His Excellency Eng Sharif Al Olama, Undersecretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, adds: “Our partnership with GIGATONS to explore investment opportunities in energy efficiency, green mobility, and digital transformation will go a long way in enabling a resilient, sustainable energy grid and efficient mobility systems that benefit society as a whole. Through such strategic alliances, we can ensure that the future of energy and transportation is both sustainable and economically viable.” 

GRIDSERVE’s Electric Highway charges nearly 250,000 electric cars, vans, and trucks every month with over 6 million kWh of 100% Net Zero energy.
