"Roadchef plans to increase the number of electric vehicle charging bays across its sites to around 1,000 by 2030, focusing on ultra-rapid chargers to support long-distance travel."
"The investment in driver welfare and infrastructure is seen as a key enabler of growth and efficiency, particularly for the logistics sector, which contributes around £170 billion to the economy."
Roadchef has secured 75-year lease extensions on five motorway service areas, allowing for a £300 million investment in infrastructure. The focus will be on upgrading facilities, expanding electric vehicle charging capacity, and improving services for motorists and freight operators. Plans include increasing charging bays to around 1,000 by 2030, with an emphasis on ultra-rapid chargers. Upgrades for heavy goods vehicle drivers will also be implemented, enhancing parking, catering, and security. Additionally, Roadchef aims to expand its retail and hospitality offerings at these sites.
