Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen Leads GRIDSERVE Drive To Make UK EV Chargers Easier To Find

Research cited by the company says outdated motorway sign rules hide thousands of charging sites from drivers.

Overview

  • The TV designer has been appointed GRIDSERVE's 'Chief Visibility Officer' to raise the profile of public charge points.
  • He unveiled bold mobile signage, wore a high-visibility yellow suit, and toured in a digital electric ad-van, stopping at the Stevenage Electric Forecourt.
  • Petrol stations can be widely signposted on major roads, whereas EV chargers face stricter criteria that limit where they can be indicated.
  • GRIDSERVE urged updates to signage regulations to accelerate EV adoption as its CEO highlighted a rollout focused on powerful chargers at convenient on-the-go locations.
  • The campaign promotes Electric Forecourts with 24/7 bays, coffee shops, convenience stores, and free Wi-Fi, framing them as modern pit stops.
