Mer to deliver EV charging to Knight Frank commercial property tenants

Mer, the European EV charging company backed by Norwegian energy company Statkraft, Europe’s largest renewable energy generator, is to partner with real estate investment manager Knight Frank Investment Management (KFIM) to install EV charge points across KFIM client sites across the country.

With work slated to start later this year, Mer has identified 14 initial KFIM client sites, which will each have six charging bays offering ultra rapid charging.

Under the agreement Mer will ultimately roll out charge points across more than 100 sites, installing approximately 450 sockets across the KFIM UK-wide commercial property portfolio, with a mixture of rapid and ultra-rapid charge points available for public use.

Karl Anders, Managing Director at Mer UK said, “Following an in-depth tender process, it is a privilege to become the exclusive EV charging partner for a leading real estate investment manager. KFIM’s decision to partner with Mer highlights its proactive commitment to providing innovative property solutions as we move into the new electric era.”

Matt Simmonds at KFIM said, “After recognising that reliable and future-fit EV charging infrastructure is becoming an increasingly in-demand asset of commercial properties, it was important that we partnered with an experienced charge point operator who understands the complex needs of our portfolio of sites. Mer’s charge points will help us provide an essential service to our tenants and visitors, and we are looking forward to working with Mer in the roll out of charging infrastructure in the coming months.”
