Cooper Bros Jet forecourt and Keystore in Wishaw, North Lanarkshire, has recorded a significant increase in footfall since installing Jet’s ultra-rapid EV offer, Jet CHARGE; and two more Scottish forecourts are set to follow suit.
Garry Gibson, Operations Director, Jet Cooper Bros. said: “EV customers have all been complimentary about how easy to use and accessible the chargers are, with many taking the opportunity to use the shop – which is good to see.”
Meanwhile, dealer-owned forecourts on Forfar Road in Dundee and Hillside Terrace in the Scottish Borders, are in the process of installing Jet CHARGE.
Launched in February 2023, and featuring up to 360kWh ultra-rapid charging, pay-as-you-go payment, and no minimum charge, Jet CHARGE quickly became popular with EV drivers. One customer commented: “This is what charging should be like. Rock up. No waiting. Present card, plug in. Pause. Present card, unplug, and away you go.”
Cited by a number of new sites to the Jet network – including Jet Oasis in Hull and Jet Hillside Terrace in Selkirk – as a significant factor in their decision to switch to the Jet brand, the drive to accelerate the implementation of Jet CHARGE highlights Jet’s commitment to providing a first-class service for all drivers.
Oliver Blake, Operations Director of Jet Oasis in Hull, who moved back to Jet from Gulf in January this year, explained that Jet’s EV arrangement was “too good to turn down.” Similarly, Jet Brentford (pictured) recently re-signed a four-year contract, identifying Jet CHARGE as a pivotal factor.
“Customers want the confidence to know that we can offer everything they need at our site – be it fuel, food or a quick and easy-to-use re-charge,” said Manoj Agnihotri, Business Development and Operations Manager, Jet Brentford. “Jet CHARGE is a great addition to the Jet brand, and for dealers like us, who operate in high-density urban areas with a higher concentration of EV drivers, it’s the missing piece of the puzzle.”
“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 Limited. “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.”
