In addition to the public EV charging points, Q-Park have Mobility Hubs which include the provision of rapid fleet charging solutions, such as those in the Q-Park Park Lane Mobility Hub in London, recently nominated for a European Parking Award. These schemes reaffirm Q-Park's commitment to leading the way in its sector for the provision of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. St-Albans based EB Charging, which was recently acquired for $23.4 million by global EV charging infrastructure company, Blink Charging, is a leading owner and operator of EV charging infrastructure and sustainable energy technologies. As part of this agreement EB Charging will be responsible for the installation of the EV charging hardware and the management of the charging provision, including a 24/7 customer support service to Q-Park customers who park and charge. Q-Park will invest over £3 million in the UK and Ireland on the rollout of initially over 600 electric vehicle charging points across their estate of parking facilities.
