KFC to install EV rapid chargers to 450 drive-thru restaurants across the UK

KFC has partnered with the electric vehicle (EV) charging network provider InstaVolt to install rapid chargers in 450 drive-thru restaurants across the UK.

Many restaurants have already been fitted with the chargers, including Birmingham with locations in London and Hampshire coming online in the next few months.

The scheme will also support InstaVolt’s existing chargers at KFC restaurants in Sheffield, Nottingham, Rotherham and Crewe.

Mathew McCormick, Chief Development Officer at KFC UK and Ireland, said: "We are committed to sustainability and installing EV rapid chargers at our restaurants is strategically very important.

"Reducing pollution and harmful emissions is a major priority and giving our loyal fans the opportunity to enjoy our iconic fried chicken while charging their electric cars is a perfect combination.”

InstaVolt’s Commercial Director Lee Adams commented: "With hundreds of KFC restaurants in easily accessible locations and a dwell time that’s great for on-the-go charging, our partnership with KFC is the perfect collaboration.”
