£100M Debt Financing Facility Drives Go Zero and Rolec’s Mission Towards Nationwide Destination Charging
1 October 2025 at 08:11:18
Rolec and Go Zero are joining forces on a mission to accelerate the deployment of EV infrastructure across the UK’s hospitality sector, providing leisure destinations and hotels with reliable and scalable charging solutions. With a £100M debt financing facility secured by Go Zero, this partnership has the financial strength to roll out multi-bay EV hubs at scale through Go Zero’s VendEx model, removing large upfront capital expenditure for businesses.
90% of EV drivers prefer destinations with chargepoints, but only six per cent of city hotels in the UK currently offer EV charging. More than 1.3 million electric vehicles are already on UK roads, and close to 40 per cent of new car registrations at the end of last year were plug-in models. EV drivers are no longer a niche group, they are business commuters, families, and international visitors, and increasingly, they expect to plug in as easily as they connect to Wi-Fi when they arrive at a hotel. Yet destinations remain underserved, highlighting a clear gap in the market and a substantial opportunity for those eager to act now.
With Go Zero and Rolec working together, financial barriers are removed, enabling businesses to implement charging infrastructure quickly and efficiently while generating recurring revenue.
Go Zero provides sector expertise, local engagement with national coverage, and a strong focus on guest-friendly solutions, ensuring every installation is practical, seamless, and aligned with business goals. Go Zero’s ownership of its CPO software aligns seamlessly with Rolec’s strategic direction for its hardware and software roadmap. Rolec further complements this with UK-based manufacturing, technical support, and a national partner network, enabling simultaneous installation and management across sites, backed by a proven range of AC and DC hardware.
This combination ensures that caravan parks, holiday parks, theme parks, hotels, resorts, shopping centres, sports stadiums, and other destination sites can implement public EV infrastructure confidently and as a priority. Projects have already been completed, with many more booked over the coming months.
Speaking on the partnership, Andy Taylor, CEO of Go Zero, said:
‘Securing this £100M debt facility is a strong vote of confidence in Go Zero’s strategy and growth prospects within hospitality. With funding in place, we can fully deliver our current project pipeline, expand rapidly across key hotel locations, and continue providing scalable, guest-friendly charging solutions. Partnering with Rolec for hardware supply ensures faster installation, multi-bay EV hubs, and a bigger national footprint, bringing our vision of 10,000 sockets closer to reality.’
Darren North, National Sales Manager at Rolec, added:
'Destination charging isn’t yet where it should be, and this partnership represents a significant step toward addressing that gap. By combining Go Zero’s funding expertise with Rolec’s UK-manufactured hardware, technical capability, and nationwide installer network, we are enabling businesses to introduce EV charging with no upfront cost. The benefits extend beyond sustainability, charging infrastructure boosts visits, longer dwell times, and higher local spend, while also supporting operators in achieving their net zero goals. Together, we are building a future-proof network that serves drivers, businesses, and communities across the UK.'
