Dutch ultra-rapid EV charge point operator LEAP24 has announced the launch of four new ultra-rapid charging locations in Barking, Chingford, Pinner and Watford.

These latest rollouts means that LEAP24 now operates nine ultra-rapid charging sites inside the M25, making it the 6th largest ultra-rapid CPO in London.
 
Each site features multiple 150-300kW charging points, is fully open to the public, and provides wide bays for accessible, convenient use. There’s no app, membership or subscription needed – drivers simply tap and charge with contactless or charge cards. LEAP24 also offers the lowest average standard ultra-rapid rate in London at just 69p/kWh, making it a highly competitive option for both commercial and private EV drivers.
 
“We founded LEAP24 to remove the friction from clean mobility – and our London expansion shows how fast, simple, and fair EV charging can be,” said Pelle Schlichting, Founder and CEO of LEAP24. “We’re not here to take small steps – we take daily leaps toward a future where clean transport is truly accessible to all.”
 
Founded in the Netherlands in 2021, LEAP24 is building a North-West European network of ultra-rapid charging locations, with a focus on cities and transit corridors. In the UK, the operator is targeting high-demand areas like Greater London to support growing EV uptake – especially among delivery, ride-hailing and business fleets impacted by tightening clean air policies such as the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).
 
“Building public charging infrastructure in London isn’t easy – from planning to power upgrades, it’s a complex and often slow-moving process. But the LEAP24 team is resilient and forward-looking. We’ve learned how to navigate those hurdles and deliver reliable, high-performance sites in record time. That’s what sets us apart,” added Ferry Bosgra, COO at LEAP24.
 
In the Netherlands, LEAP24 has built one of the country’s largest ultra-rapid networks and is the leading electricity supplier to HGVs – a key differentiator in a market demanding high-capacity, high-reliability solutions. The company is now also expanding into Germany, creating a North-West European footprint that positions it as a serious long-term player in the region’s EV infrastructure landscape.
