UK-based gas station network JET, owned by US-based conglomerate Phillips 66, reports growth in the adoption of its JET CHARGE rapid EV charging system at both company-owned and dealer-owned stations.
JET’s network includes more than 330 stations, predominantly in northeast England, East Midlands and Scotland.
Launched in February 2024, JET CHARGE features 150 kWh or 360 kWh charging, pay-as-you-go payment, and no minimum charge.
Among the sites that have installed JET CHARGE are company-owned Beacon Garage and Abbeyside, which have three charging bays each, and dealer-owned JET Cooper Bros in Wishaw. The company reports that for new sites added to the network, including JET Oasis in Hull and JET Hillside Terrace in Selkirk, the offer of JET CHARGE was a significant factor in their decision to switch to the JET brand.
JET forecourts in the process of installing JET CHARGE include Forfar Road in Dundee and Hillside Terrace in the Scottish Borders. Starthill in Rochford, Essex, has just completed installation.
“JET CHARGE is bringing new customers to the JET brand every day, many of whom shop while waiting to power up,” said Rupert Turner, Managing Director, UK Marketing, Phillips 66. “Add increased footfall and a commitment from us to meet the costs of installation, and it’s a compelling offer more and more of our dealers are looking to explore.”
