EV charging operator signs deal with football clubs

Electric vehicle (EV) charge point operator Zapgo has signed an exclusive agreement with Fair Game and will introduce EV charging solutions to more than 30 football clubs across England.

The agreement with Fair Game, a fast-growing band of clubs campaigning to improve football governance, provides Zapgo with access to the 33 lower league and non-league clubs that are members of the group.

Those same communities around the UK that are centred around and proud of their local football club, are often the ones that have hitherto been underserved by existing EV charging infrastructure. 

The agreement is planned to strengthen community participation through the installation of EV charging hubs at club stadiums and training grounds and will provide valuable new revenue streams for the clubs involved, further supporting the long-term sustainability of grassroots football around the country.

Clubs which install Zapgo’s EV chargers through this agreement will continue to benefit from revenue generated from onsite EV chargers not only on match days but 365 days a year, even during the offseason, and Zapgo is proud to be supporting the economic futures of these clubs which are the beating hearts of their respective local communities.

Niall Couper, CEO of Fair Game, said: “We are delighted to work with Zapgo on providing football clubs with a supplementary revenue stream in addition to providing local communities with vital infrastructure as the economy transitions to green energy. 

"Zapgo’s principles of focusing on the local community with a sustainable approach to business made them a natural partnering opportunity which will benefit Fair Game member clubs.”
