Duracell will start creating a network of ultra-fast EV charging stations across the UK.

Duracell E-Charge will be funded through a £200m investment planned over the next decade. To operate this charging network, Duracell has granted a license to Elektra Charge, a new charge point operator set up to run the Duracell E-Charge network. The charging hubs will be developed and funded by The EV Network (EVN), a charging infrastructure developer.

“Duracell has always been a trusted companion in people’s lives, delivering long-lasting performance, uncompromising safety and a commitment to sustainability,” said Javier Hernandez Reta, chief marketing officer at Duracell. “For decades, consumers have relied on us to go the extra mile. Today, electric vehicle drivers can travel even further, confidently and sustainably, with Duracell E-Charge leading the way.”

The first six nationwide Duracell E-Charge sites will go live in 2025, with rapid expansion throughout 2026 and beyond. The network will focus on strategic locations including motorways, retail and hospitality venues, and city gateways.
