Acquiring land throughout the UK to expand our EV charging network.

site search

We're looking for freehold sites

Zest is acquiring land to develop electric vehicle (EV) charging hubs. Working closely with trusted development partners, we deliver EV hubs both with and without food and beverage or convenience store amenities. We are actively seeking land acquisition opportunities that meet our criteria for EV charging deployment, and we offer competitive prices for suitable sites.

We’re prioritising land close to the following locations:

  • Strategic road networks
  • Major traffic hubs/interchanges
  • UK town and city centres
  • Roadside F&B developments

We’re prioritising land that meets these requirements:

  • Freehold sites from 0.1 acres
  • A road frontage with direct access
  • Adjacent F&B amenities and/or shops
  • Relatively level topography

Efficient acquisition process

With a mission to make EV adoption accessible to all, ahead of the 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel cars, we don’t believe in delays. Our rapid deployment strategy is in full swing and we’re ready to sign on the dotted line for land that suits our requirements.

Future focused investment

When you sell to Zest, your land becomes a cornerstone of positive change with lasting impact. Supported by the government sponsored Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund, our initiatives promise longevity, ensuring that your land serves a meaningful purpose well into the future.

Sustainable development

We take pride in doing things right. Zest’s charge points operate on 100% renewable energy and promote EV adoption in local communities. This sustainable approach lowers CO2 emissions, enhancing local air quality and ultimately improving the health of residents.

Positive impact on local economy

By engaging local contractors for installation and creating jobs at integrated retail centres, Zest’s rapid hubs actively contribute to communities’ economic growth. The presence of these charging hubs attracts EV drivers, stimulating additional activities in the area which benefit the local economy.

Fair and competitive prices

At Zest, we recognise the value of your land and are committed to offering fair and competitive prices for locations which align with our requirements.

Hear from our partners

Unlike my experience with most other EV operators, Zest perform. They do what they say they are going to do. They deliver while being a pleasure to deal with.

Mark Rothery

Managing Director, Rothstone

Zest have been a breath of fresh air to work with, sitting alongside our drive thru led occupier partners. They ‘do what they say’ and provide a smooth transition from lease negotiations, legal process through to completion on site in what has become a competitive sector.

Stephen J Summerfield

Stephen James Property Ltd

We are committed to pushing for a more sustainable future across all our destinations, and ensuring accessibility to EV charging is a key part of this. Having worked with Zest on other projects, we saw them as the perfect partner to deliver this for Metrocentre.
