Gridserve, the charging service company backed by Hitachi, has purchased out the rest of the Ecotricity electric highway project. 
Gridserve acquired a 25 percent stake in the electric highway in March this year, and this next relocation is expected to bring tens of millions of pounds worth of investment to the UK’s motorway charging network, which has previously developed a credibility for unreliability.

According to the financial Times, Gridserve has set aside tens of millions of pounds for the rest of the electric highway business, which is separate from the cash it’s due to spend on updating the network’s charging sites in the future.

The cash injection will be used to swap the network’s existing chargers (which have been criticised for their slow speeds) with new units that support CCS, CHAdeMO and AC connections. investment will also be made in green technologies such as making natural gas from grass, and forging diamonds from carbon pulled from the air.
Ecotricity and Gridserve will install between six and 12 350kW DC rapid chargers at each motorway service station. all of the new chargers will support contactless payment, as demanded by legislation, and the companies hope the planned upgrades will help even more encourage EV ownership.
